Hi
Never had that problem, however it seems youve already isolated the problem. Have you tried troubleshooting your apc? How often did this happen?

If im not mistaken, i think the reference line and rp line have different tweeters. So you might notice some difference there, but if the tweeters are the same, then there shouldnt be any problems mixing the different lines.
-
Have you tried experimenting with the db lvl settings? I think you'll find your towers have more of a punch than what you have up to now experienced.
-
If the plan is to upgrade the fronts anyways, then I'd go for that RC62II. If not, then the r-25c is the one

My best guess would be internal breakage caused by some sloppy delivery guy. Best course of action would however be to return it, file a complaint and get another one from the the retailer you bought it from. You could always try to open up the back panel and see if you can't fix it yourself, but at the risk of voiding the warranty and ending up with a dead pair of speakers, I wouldn't recommend it.

Apparently since its sold out

Alright so if im not mistaken, the primary problem here would be a lack luster center? It is normal for a centers sound-presence to feel dwarfed compared to the fronts, especially after running a calibration software or not doing any manual tweaks to your systems many configs to begin with. Its therefore quite common to up the db-level on the center channel through your receivers settings. If this is the primary problem, then buying any other center won't fix this.
Now, its been awhile since i've had to do with an Onkyo so im not 100% on this, but I am 90% sure that db-levels for the different sources can be adjusted separately. Alteast its possible on my marantz and yamaha, so im fairly certain onkyo has that feauture aswell. So for example, you can lower the db on your fronts for your movie source without that change being present on your music source. Or you could just up the db level on your center to your liking.
Even though im quite familiar with the RP speakers you mention there, Im not at all familiar with the older models you have up there aswell, and so im regrettably in no position to compare these speakers and give you a better image of what you're looking at here. However, I would recommend staying with your current setup and maybe going for those two speakers to the negotiable price of $195. Im afraid introducing an RP speaker to your setup could cause some unwanted timbre mismatch between the different tweeters.

Hi
Does anyone know of a Europe based site that offers speaker parts from klipsch?
-
Hi there!
Very sorry that no one here took some time to answer you! To answer your q, yes that denon will do the job.

Thank you Henrik - much appreciated.
I am thinking of going for 2x R-625FA and 1x R-52C for the time being, unless you are aware of Klipsch releasing new speakers in 2020? The models I'm looking at seem to be from 2018?
Highly doubt any new speakers will emerge this year. Both the R and RP line basically just got updated versions and CES2020 didn't seem to hint towards something new and exciting. The new editions of the R and RP line are from 2018, yes.

Hi Audiohead!
To be honest, if I were in your situation, I would hold off on buying any of these speakers until you know for certain if you will be staying where you live now or moving into a new place.
But to answer your question... The reference and the ref.premiere line speakers do have different tweeters and should therefore be susceptible to timbre mismatch. If having your entire system looking the same through out and timbre-matched is an important factor to you, than I'd stick with only the one speaker line. Remember that buying the whole system at once isn't necessary. There is nothing wrong with building up to a system over time. It might be more economical if you have your sight set to sales and deals.

Hi Tommo!
Welcome to the forum and congrats on having a wife open to having a dedicated HT room. Most of your speaker choices seem solid. Keep in mind that the RP speakers do have an older version that is basically the same speaker apart from one little detail and should be cheaper. If you'd like to check them out, the names would be respectively as follows:
RP-260F
RP-450C
RP-250S
RP-140SA
Furthermore, I see you've listed a klipsch sub there. Whilst that one would be fine, the market is filled with better performing subs. Some recommended brands would be svs, xtz, fluance and monolith just to name a few.

Not to confuse things but... I would go with the 6000’s, 600c and a subwoofer to start.
I used to run RF-62’s with a RC-62 and felt the $/performance was a sweet spot in the Klipsch lineup. I have also owned a few RP series speakers and I preferred them over the RF II’s I just mentioned so I am sure you’d be happy.
Since you would be saving money on the towers and the center, you could put that money into a 12” or 15” sub;)
There are some great form members here that are also Klipsch dealers, so you can save money if you know who to ask.
Hi there!
Just for future reference, who are these klipsch dealers? Have come across some names plenty of times but when it actually matters, I always forget them...

Since the reference line and the ref premiere line have two different tweeters, there is quite a solid argument that you would have a timbre mismatch. Were I you, I'd stick with reference for now, save up the moolah, live life, and see where your priorities lie in 5+ years. Might not be that you even want to upgrade your system or use that money on audio/HT at all...

1. I would never go for a soundbar period.
2. The main difference between those two centers would be the woofers and the cabinet size. This info can be found on klipsch.com in these speakers own spec sheets. I'm sorry I couldn't be more helpful here, just don't know anything worthwhile about these speakers... However, the general rule is to get the biggest center you can, which in this case would be the 504c.
3. 8000F without a doubt. I myself have both the rp280f and the rp250f. Tried them both as fronts and the difference is immense. You'll notice much more power in the 8000f. Always go big on the front stage(LCR).
4. Ehm no, this information is false. However, having the same type of tweeter across your system is quite important. Thats why its always safe to have speakers from the same series or line within a brand.

Hi there!
I'll be answering your Q1-6 and after there will be a paragraph or five you might benefit from.
1. Definitely dual r100sw. The r120sw will for sure give more kick, but what you really want is to weed out all the dead-spots in your room.
2. I'd say kinda. With the size of your room and the fact that reference is the limit, I'd go as big as reference can get. Believe me when I say you want that extra woofer. But of course, you wouldn't know what you're missing out on, so in actual fact, it won't make that much of a difference. But I wouldn't want you to get the feeling that whichever speaker you do choose starts to feel weak, so I'd go as big as I could if I were you.
3. All the speakers you have chosen are the newest editions within their categories apart from the r-14s. That one is a side surround speaker from the previous reference line which came out in 2014. Just fyi, had a look at the components of your listed speakers and the r-14s and you wouldn't have any timbre mismatching. Tried to search for the r-41m and the r-41SA myself and only got the one listing, so I don't know what to say about that one
4. As said in Q3, the r-14s is a side surround speaker from the previous reference line back in 2014. But, since the components from these two lines of reference speakers more or less match, timbre mismatch shouldn't be a problem. The current reference line don't have a dipole/bipole surround speaker. The only side surrounds for the current reference line would be the bookshelf speakers.
5. If you're asking about wether or not the r-41SA is part of the current reference line, than yes, it is part of the current reference line of speakers. I won't presume to know what you've read but what you might have read about is the new tech feature in atmos speakers that elevate their ability to bounce sound off surfaces. This feature is a load of bs. At the end of the day, a speaker is a speaker. It has tweeter(s) and it has woofer(s).
6. I tried to search around and couldn't really find the different designs. Can only find the first one you described. Sorry!
First off, nice of you to try to educate yourself a bit before buying! Lord knows not many do and end up regretting it all afterwards. And on that note, are you certain klipsch is the one for you? If at all possible, try to see if any of your local retailers could give you a demo of the speakers you want. They won't sound the same in the store as they will in your own house, but at least you'll have an angle.
I get the feeling it has been a bit difficult finding out which speakers belong and match with each other, which is understandable seeing as klispch's web page setup can be a bit wonky, especially in regards of older models. Just so you know, if you search and click on one speaker on klipsch.com, scroll down and click on the speaker manual under "downloads", you will find a chart of every speaker in the same line as the one you are currently viewing.
One thing you have to realize is that the technology of a speaker hasn't changed in about 20yrs. So "old" or "new" has very little to say. You could for example mix the 2014 reference line and the current one and have no problems with timbre. Just have a look at what kind of tweeter and woofer a speaker has and hopefully it matches the rest of your system. But if you are like me, the esthetics do matter, and when I land on a speaker line, I won't budge from it.
You say that the RP line is for the time being out of reach, and that is okay. I myself think the new RP line is waaaaay overpriced. But as with the reference line, the RP line also have an older edition. I have speakers from that line and am pretty happy with them. Since they are an older edition, they will be cheaper, but will perform better than any speakers from the reference line, old or new. On my page on this forum you'll se a summary of my own system.
Good luck with your system!

Hi Udson
Not quite sure if this is what you're looking for, but have a look at Omnimount 15.0C ceiling mounts.

Initially I would say no. I feel you would be getting some major timbre matching problems if you bought a rp250s. Hopefully, klipsch will do you a solid and repair the one you have. Don't worry about waiting for a reply on that request. Did so once myself and they took about a week to reply.
I do know that there is this one guy on this forum everyone refers to for buying klipsch speakers, but I just can't seem to remember the name... sorry! In any case, you could have a look at the garage sale tab and see if you find one there.

HI Johannes
For in-ceiling speakers, the best matching ones would be the PRO-160RPC or the PRO-180RPC. For in-wall speakers, the PRO-160RPW or the PRO-180RPW. Im not a 100% on this, but I think they come with white covers. You can always paint them over though!

Thanks Flightrisk. All my research points to Omnimount.
HenrikTJ, My post was seeking information and had no political tone. You are the one bringing up politics. I'm focused on getting the best sound out of a big investment in speakers, nothing else..

Well your statement there isn't quite true, is it? YOU posted a picture containing a poster supporting one of the most hated men in politics this past decade. That is YOUR political tone right there.
I'm actually not bringing up politics. YOU did that all by yourself with that picture. I'm simply advising you not to have a political tone on this forum in the future.
I know what your intent with this post was. Thats why I tried to answer your post objectively first before trying to advise you in a friendly manner on what one might not want to do, if getting the best possible help is still a focus. What hangs on your wall will quite possibly stir some very deep and negative feelings towards that poster, this post and finally upon you. If getting the best help is still a focus for you, that picture or the poster it contains should not have been included. Political statements divide people, and will probably encourage those who have the answers you might need to not give it to you just based upon the fact that your political standpoint differs from theirs.
From being in and out on this forum for a short while, you start to pick up on who answers the most posts around here. Safe to say none of them have answered you, and I might just know why...

Hi
If ceiling mounting is required, I would recommend you have a look at klipsch's in-ceiling speakers. Mounting them would make the job a whole lot easier.
PS: Just a friendly reminder for the future. Everybody is entitled to their own political standpoint and I respect you for yours, but there are of course some that don't respect it, especially when it comes to that particular poster on your wall, whom it supports, and what this individual is responsible for right now in Iran. This might make people not want to reply and help you in your HT endeavours. So for your future posts in this forum, I recommend refraining from such online displays of ones opinion.

not the most important thing, but just for appearances sakes, i'd go for the rp-280fa... basically the same as the 8060fa, but will match your center and surrounds exactly.

Honestly I don’t prefer one receiver over the other. Just by way of happenstance and timing I’ve had Yamaha.
Any particular Marantz?
The sr6014 or sr7014 would be the better performing ones when it comes to music. But if you find an sr6009 - sr6013 or sr7009 - sr6013, they would do just as great as the first two i mentioned. In my opinion, marantz can be a bit stingy with their upgrades, so the models from the previous years aren't all that different.

What you say in your first paragraph there is not a good idea. Its a GREAT idea! Pretty solid speaker placement imo, however sub placement is really hard to tell if its done correctly or not. Guess you just have to do some experimenting on that front. Would also recommend a second sub. Always good to cover windows with thicker than usual curtains. Seems like youve given this potential setup some good consideration. So all in all, youve done great.
