  1. You mean like low end bass? Nah you don't wanna be depending on towers for your bass. Especially for home theater use. I'd cross them things over at 80-100hz and let the sub handle all the beautiful low end. I've got two R-12SW subs helping out my R-28F towers and my towers never play a note below 100hz even though they're rated down to 45hz I think. Was 80hz for a while. I'd turn the LPF as high as it will go without localizing the sub in your room. Since my subs are siting directly beside my towers I really could have crossed them over at 120hz but settled at 100hz for some reason. Even my little modest system rocks in 2.2 mode for music. 
    Yeah I'm in need of a new sub.... But my wife doesn't like it on so a little bass from the towers is good

    They vented the tweeter which supposedly makes it smoother at the crossover overlap area, most everything else is cosmetic.  
    So far I'm really Digging them.....I was expecting more boom out of them....

  3. Thanks willland. 
     
    I definitely turned the treble down a little on my AVR's equalizer. Unfortunately the Sony STR-DN1080 has a fairly rudimentary eq so all I can do is turn down "treble" by whole dBs. 
    Wondering if you picked up the new RP series? Looks like we have something in common. I have the Sony 1080 and the rp8000f/rp504c. I just picked them up 2 days ago. Haven't really had a chance to let these speakers loose yet. Did you feel the 1080 had enough power to drive the RP 280?

  4. How much was this front stage? Great stuff, I'm looking to upgrade my front stage next year and this could very well be what I'm looking at. 
     
    EDIT: Ok just checked prices on Klipsch.com. If someone didn't care about the much better looking redesign, would the RP-280 sound identical to these? I mean it is the exact same drivers, right? Is the only difference the sleeker looking cabinet? Because damn $479 a pop for the RP-280 is very enticing. 
    I have a buddy who gets them at cost. He got all 3 for less then the cost of 1 at retail. I think it's identical minus the cabinet material and the vented tweeter. I'm really impressed with the build quality of these speakers

  5. Just picked up the 504c and 8000f. It's my first Klipsch speakers and so far I love the clarity of the tweeter. For the hour that I've used the 504c it's easily the best Center I've owned. Also the largest. Like really big. I haven't really had a chance to let these things loose yet but I will hopefully tomorrow

  6. I’m thinking yes. My Denon is rated @95 watts/channel (2channel) and it fills our 13’X20’ room with serious volume. I’ve seen over 100db from my usual listening position (app 10’ away) with no distortion or issues. Good choice on the RP8000s I hear they’ve really upped the finish on the cabinets. I got a good deal and couldn’t pass up the older model.
    I have a buddy who got them at cost for me. It was a no brainier. I also got the RP 504c. Waiting to try them out before I invest in Surrounds and a sub

  7. I’m not going to be able to assist much with your audio issues. It seems that you’ve got it narrowed to a couple of likely  possibilities and I hope you get those sorted quickly. However, I do want to tell you that I’m running the exact same LCR set up, in our Family Room, powered by a Denon AVR X2200W. I just added the RP280Fs last week, replacing RF52iis. I’m here to tell you it’s fantastic! Even with the relatively low power of my AVR, the 280s rock! Maybe not enough to “Piss Off” the neighbors (they aren’t that close) but more than enough to annoy my lovely wife. You’ve chosen well, I hope you get to enjoy them to their full potential very soon.
    That's good to hear. I'm getting rp 8000fs tomorrow. I'm worried my sony 1080 isn't going to be enough. But as sensitive as Klipsch speakers are it should be plenty..... Right?

  8. Hello all,
     
    This is my first post and the first time trying to explain this, so please go easy on me. I just got a new set of klipsch speakers setup in my home, and to me they don't sound "crisp" at anything on the high end/frequency. So mainly this would be dialog, and appears to happen across all my speakers, not just the center (I can hear the same problem when something is in stereo). It's almost as if there is a slight muffle or buzz to the sound when someone is talking. No issues on the low end or with bass. Here is my setup:
     
    RP-280F
    RC-62ii
    R14M
    R-2650-Cii
    R10SW
    Denon X1300W
     
    So I know off-hand that my receiver is not fully up to par on the speakers. I originally had this hooked up to some cheaper speakers from a home theater in a box setup, and while the sound was lacking, I didn't have problem with dialog or what I'm seeing with the Klipsch. My question is, is it the receiver that could be causing these issues because they are not able to produce enough wattage? I notice the issue no matter what volume level they are set at. I have ran the Audyssey setup, as well as tried to manually adjust the speakers but nothing seems to help.
     
    Any suggestions?
    What guage speaker cable are you using

  9. I do not have enough experience with those speakers, but general consensus would say to stick with speakers that have the same tweeter/driver setup. If you plan to go with the RP8000f, then you may be best suited to stick with the same RP line. It all depends on your ears.
     
    I'm the same boat with getting the best/biggest center channel you can get.
    I decided to order the RP 504c which is the corresponding one to that series and also the largest. I really wanted 6 inch woofers on my next center channel but the rc64 was really the only option and that thing is massive..... Like dedicated home theater massive...I don't think I need that

  10. Looking at purchasing my first set of Klipsch speakers. Are they timbre matched per series. Thinking about getting the RC 64 with the RP 8000f. Will they not match or should I get the corresponding reference premier Center channel? Any help is appreciated
