Before I get started, please forgive the inexperience you will likely detect in what I've written below. I recently replaced my RP-600m-ii & RP-404c-ii with an rc64-iii and two new RF-7iiis. So far the switch has been a major improvement in the highs, as these tweeters really are a huge difference maker: they sound great! However, the midrange sounds... thinner. Although female vocals sound extraordinary, sometimes scratchier/mid to lower pitched male vocals simply do not come through in songs, almost at all.. I find myself struggling to even hear the lyrics whereas before that had never been a problem. Dialogue is also a little muddier in that range in movies. It's a little disturbing, and without considering break in time, the RP-600Mii and 404c-ii actually performed better out of the box (albeit ONLY) in the aforementioned range. I'm wondering at a few things, and without getting into the dimensions and treatment of my room (which is of course a potential factor), I am curious as to whether I am either: (A). Expecting too much out of these modest home theater towers that don't have a midrange horn to help it shine in the mids, or (B). (which could be quite the elephant in the room) I am expecting far far too much out of my piece of junk Onkyo NR-676 which was more than capable of driving my previous mains and center, but is now with RF7-iii and rc64-iii severely underpowered, and is potentially creating a bottleneck in sound quality. This is probably turning out to be a huge noob question, but the only reason I ask is because I have been lead to believe on these forums and by experts that the improvements which can be ascertained by upgrading speakers will far and away supersede the improvements which can be ascertained by upgrading an amplifier. And while this amplifier is underpowered for these speakers, I am detecting the problems which I mentioned at even the meekest volume levels, all the way up to the most I can get out of the amp. So I am more or less looking for confirmation that, yes, my amp is just far too junk for the speakers that I bought and is potentially a major reason for the RF7-iii and RC64-iii sounding quite thin in the midrange. For an additional note, I listen to three things mainly, and have tested so far with all three: Movies: 5.2 Apple "Lossless" Stereo Music: 2.2 Apple Spatial Audio 5.2 (Vocals sometimes come through center channel). Last note: I am Bi-AMPing (not buy-wiring) the RF-7iiis with two sets of 9 gauge OFC (which I have been told similarly does nothing special on cheaper amps). Don't flame me for it

Hi! So I have old AV123 speakers, the RS760 for LR and Bigfoot RSC200 for center. I have been meaning to move to black speakers so they dont stand out as much in my HT room when I am watching movies with my projector. I was considering the Emotiva T1+ or T2+ and the C2+ center but not certain things made me go back on those. So now the ones that are at the top of my list are Klipsch. Now as this is 100% HT, the center is my main thing to get first. For that reason I started looking at the RC64 but is very expensive. A local was selling a version 1 of it but not sure how good or bad that version is vs version 2 and 3. The other more affordable option is the RP-504C. I found a Youtube comparison but hard to judge things from a Youtube video. With the center, I would likely get the RP8000 speakers as they seem to be the best bang for buck. Anyone by any chance did a similar change from the Rockets to Klipsch? The Rockets were highly regarded specially the center so its always a concern for me to change to a new one but of course, time passes. Is the version one RC64 good vs a newer RP-504C? Will it match with the RP-8000? Those are some of my questions. Thanks!

I have the original RF82s, RC62, and RS52s. I am wanting to upgrade my center to the RC64. Lately, I can find the RC64 on ebay but only in black. So here I am! Hoping to find a cherry RC64. Thanks!

I saw this today on Craigslist near me. Looks like a good set. If I didn't get all the RF-82 II set from Frys I would have considered this set. I don't know the seller but looks like everything is in good condition. https://tampa.craigslist.org/pnl/ele/d/klipsch-reference-series/6215389455.html

Hello This is the first time posting for sale on the forum as CL has been no luck. Up for sale I have a pair of black RF7ii in pristine condition and a RC64ii in the same condition. I worked for a dealer that went out of business after 16 years and I picked this pair up from them. These are 100 percent A stock units with sequential serial numbers. I have only had these in use since March 2014. I unfortunately got rid of the boxes these came in as I never anticipated letting them go but a new job out of state has priority and they will not fit in the new place. I also have a definitive technologies reference suoercube piano gloss black 1800 watt subwoofer that compliments these very well, it too came from the store and has only been used since March 2014. And I do have the box on that one as it weighs in at over 110 pounds. I will include a really nice bello metal center channel stand with the center as well. I have been running the speakers with an Onkyo TX-SR806 THX plus 2 AV Receiver.Also For sale is my Mozaex Player2 3D Blue Ray Server. I will be trying to get the pictures up of all of this stuff as soon as i can figure out how to pull them off of my iphone. I would prefer pickup but may pack and ship via freight depending on location and distance. (I could pack well but I would hate to have the shipping company damage these beauties) Prices are as follows Klipsch RF7II and RC64II With stand $2200.00 OBO Definitive Technologies Reference SUPERCUBE Subwoofer $1100.00 OBO Onkyo TX-SR 806 THX 130 WPC AV Receiver $450.00 OBO Mozaez Player 2 Video server $2500.00 All of this equipment is in like Brand New Condition Thanks for Looking, I am Located In The Kansas City Missouri Area For Local Pickup I tried uploading and my pictures are too big, Email me and I can send you pics while I am getting these resized.
