djwarila Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 hey guys. i am buying a ht setup very soon. actually i have already ordered my rf-83's, rc-64 and 2 of the thx ultra 2 subs (i work for a klipsch dealer) and i was all exited about getting them, until just today i realized i could get the whole thx ultra 2 setup for about the same price. i have heard half of the thx system (front L+R+subs) and i really liked it. the only other thing to compare to the 83's and 64 to are the rf-82's and rc-52 wich i have heard, and liked also. now i know that the RF setup is way better for music, but in all of your opinions, wich would you take? and wich do u feel is better for prob 70 percent movies and 30 percent music? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted December 2, 2009 Moderators Share Posted December 2, 2009 I personally love my RF-83's, especially for movies. In my particular room, they sound better for HT than they do for 2ch listening but a lot of that has to do with me not having any room treatments and lots of hard surfaces. I have not had the privelege of listening to the THX Ultra II's though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djwarila Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share Posted December 2, 2009 thanks for the response.......thats the problem is that not may people have heard the system. i have heard the left and right front speakers and the 2 subwoofers, and it was really good. im def getting the subs no matter what, i love them. but as for the rest im not sure. what do you have paired up with your rf-83's? i dunno i just picture the 83's as being very good music speakers (wich they are) but im kinda skeptical as for how they will be for movies. plus the ultra 2 system is what $13 grand thats gotta mean something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 until just today i realized i could get the whole thx ultra 2 setup for about the same price For what it's worth, there are very favorable reviews online for the THX Ultra 2 system. http://www.klipsch.com/na-en/products/thx-ultra2-reviews/ Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djwarila Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share Posted December 2, 2009 thanks, well i have seen those reviews and i know that both systems are more than great. im just looking to see if anyone has expierience with both systems, or if they are alot alike? well besides the size diffrence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted December 2, 2009 Moderators Share Posted December 2, 2009 what do you have paired up with your rf-83's? As shown in my signature and in my build thread, I have RF-83's with the RC-64 and RB-35's driven by a Yamaha RX-V1800 receiver. Can't wait to get the Emotiva XPA-3 to drive the front three speakers.
