willland Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I have only AB'd them once in a Sound Advice store. While impressed with 82's with HT and 2 channel, the 63's take the sound to a higher dimension. With a little cleaner bass and much crisper highs. To me the midrange was very similar but I would give the edge to the 63's. As far as cosmetics go, the cherry vinyl veneer is of good quality on the 82's but the real natural cherry wood veneer on the 63's adds a nice touch of eligance. Look for a deal on the 63's new or used if the bug has bitten you. As far as I am concerned, if you are happy with the 82's, use your hard earned $$$ and add some other quality components to your system. By the way, the RF-82's are a front runner in the "best bang for the buck" tower speakers around. Here is a very good price on a used pair of RF-63's: http://cgi.ebay.com/2-Klipsch-RF-63-Speakers-Pair-Set-Speaker-Cherry_W0QQitemZ330315825446QQcmdZViewItemQQptZSpeakers_Subwoofers?hash=item330315825446&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1730%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A1%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50 I don't know if the cherry wood suits you.

bekim99 Posted March 22, 2009 Author Share Posted March 22, 2009 so what other componets are you referring too then???? thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 What I meant was that in your profile with your main system you do not mention any surround speakers. Maybe add a pair of RS-42's or RS-52's and/or an outboard 3 channel amp using your Denon as a pre-amp. You would be pleasantly surprised how great those 82's will sound with a good quality(clean) 175+w amp. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bekim99 Posted March 22, 2009 Author Share Posted March 22, 2009 ok so what would you recommend is a good 3 channel amp?? i know they get pricey but if i get some ideas ill shop around and buy at the right time. and i plan on getting some rs 7's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 My only personal experience is with a B&K Ref. 4430(200w). I am very pleased with it's sound and build quality. Others(affordable) to consider are Adcom,Parasound, Emotiva. Here is a Rotel for sale on Audiogon: http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?ampsmult&1242694797&/Rotel-RB993-200W-x-3 Also Emotiva has great "bang for the buck" amps. Highly recommended on this forum and others. http://emotiva.com/xpa3.shtm No affiliation. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay481985 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 the 63 go even deep bass wise than the rf-83 but there is a hump that is perceived to make the 83 sound deeper. The 63 and 83 also have different horns than the 82 1.25 versus 1 inch The 63 and 83 also have veneer wood which is nicer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InVeNtOr Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 the higher you go up in models, the crisper and deeper you will get with the sounds. now if you can hear the difference, thats a total personal question. your room and equipement also play a huge role in if you can hear a difference or now.

Vick's Pit Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 I think this former thread sums up the differences very nicely. http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/p/97917/989181.aspx#989181 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derekd2 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Hi all, I'm also looking (not too aggressively yet) to upgrade my RF-82s and use them for sides. My question is, how great is the improvement between the 82 and the 63, but also the 63 and the 83, and how much more would you pay for 83s vs 63s. I guess the better question would be "do you think I will regret not spending the extra dough on the 83s?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falcon20x Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 If you can afford it get the 83. you will mostlikely do just fine with the 63 but if you get the 83 you will never have to wonder what if Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
