AndreG.

Speculating: I´m watching German "ebay kleinanzeigen" (about equal to US Craigslist) for Klipsch speakers regularly. A lot of centers turn up here- What i´ve always wondered, could two centers, let´s say RC-62s for example, be used as front alternatives? Quite often you can find them cheap and end up spending less $$$ then getting bookshelves of the same line. If i remember correctly, the KG 2.2 and 2.5 could be used as both, fronts or center.

50 to 60%, that would be about 100 to 110w per channel, right? The 600m is rated at 100w continous power, so You might be on the edge. But i´m looking foward to the results of your modifications.

Thanks Randy!

Speaking of wich, i would like to lubricate the rubber surounds of my RF3s. What would i use for a lubricant, glycerine maybe?

Did You listen to them in stereo or just as HT? I´m interested in knowing, too?

Welcome to the Forum! Your RP260F have a continious power handling of 125w, the Yamaha has got around 110w at 8 ohms. Sounds like a good match. So this is for stereo only, no Home Cinema?

Don´t own any of the two, but looking at the specs, i prefer the R34C. Higher sensitivity, higher power-handling and cabinet is not made of plastic.

Welcome to the Forum! First of – i don´t own any of Your speakers, so i can´t speak from experience. But, in most of the cases, comparing a bookshelve against a floorstander will have you lacking bass ( Your meaning when you write about depth?). From Your post i gather that you have a sub. Now it depends on the size of your listening space, for me, one sub is enough, although i use mine only for HT. If Your room is of a larger type, maybe You will need two subs or maybe the one you have does not have the power, but i think in most of the cases one should sufficient. The 5.2 has a very powerfull bass and probably Your are right if you say you´re "spoiled". It also will certainly be a case of "color-difference" in sound between the Reference Line and the KGs, hence the difference You are hearing. Let´s see if fellow members have more opinions.

I´m looking forward to Your findings. Very interesting.

Although i´m not following soccer very much, i hope our team will make it to the finals. Too bad that corona won´t let fans celebrate the way they used to...

Welcome to the Forum! I´m sure You did, but i ask again, have You checked if the connection to the left speaker came loose? It´s not unheard of that wires become loose because of vibrations.

Can speakers be ugly? These sure make me ponder the question....

Your meaning, bridging the amps or bi-amping the speakers?

Although i don´t own Klipschhorns it´s always nice to see a good restoration. Thanks for sharing and enjoy!

Japanese and Korean grammar have a lot in common. Once you know one it´s easier to learn the other.

I always wanted to ask, do You speak japanese?

"Keep on truckin´." – Crumb style?

To see how my new Player works wird my old HD panel, The Martian, 4K Ultra. Good movie, everything working, so far.

That can have some impact on matching speakers, and like You say, crossover frequency and frequency response, in this case sensitivity less so. That sounds like a good plan. Listen and decide what pleases You most and don´t concern yourself over the return of the center You don´t like. These speakers will be with you for some time and this way you won´t regret your purchase in the years to come.

Mine are on the way.

Welcome to the Forum! Looking at the specs, the RP-5000F go about ten Hz deeper than the R-610F, power handling is greater too. Also there is a aluminium vs. a titanium horn, the later, in the RF5000 goes to 25 KHz (instead of 20 KHz in the 610.). In my opinion, spend the $$$. Maybe other members can give more in-depth opinion as i don´t own either of these speakers. What is the rest of Your gear? Do You just listen to just stereo?

Thanks Wuzzer, something new learned. I thought the opposite. Well, this makes placement easier for me, already some ideas in my head.

After i get my new shelves done, i might finally be able to break my RS3 from storage. One of them will go into one of the shelves, but the other will have to be free standing. I know this is not ideal. My question is, should i put a movable board behind the speaker, do dipoles need a "wall" behind them for reflection of sound? Thanks!
