elementfbl114 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Hey, I just recently started looking at high end speakers and came across the almighty Klipsch.Im looking at RC-64 and 2 RF-82s from Vanns and wanted to see what you guys thought about the price I got them to. The current offer is1619, which includes shipping for all three and all are new. Does that sound pretty good or do you guys think I can get them lower or any other suggestions would be great! Thanks guys! Also, I just bought a Onkyo RC-260 (didn't even think about upgrading the speakers a few weeks ago when I bought it...) Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye_Nut Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 definitely in the ballpark........... You may be able to save 1-200 if you get anal and scour the planet for a better deal. IMO....go for it. The offer you have is a reasonable value...why not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elementfbl114 Posted August 11, 2010 Author Share Posted August 11, 2010 Cool. I'm thinking of just ordering it... I hope the rf 82 sounds ok with the rc64... Im going to keep the onkyo surrounds for now until I can afford to get the rest.... I'm a little nervous because I actually haven't listened to either of the speakers yet. All of the audio places are out of business around here and it leaves me with best buy. Which only had klipsch cheap surround package hooked up and the lower end icons which they had all hooked up to a stereo playing a semi static fm station with a little music coming through... It was the best static i have ever heard in my life though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arky Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 The 64 will be fine. In fact you want to buy the best center you can afford. Lots of info runs through the center position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 It was the best static i have ever heard in my life though! I love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All in time!! ...take one step at a time. For now, you're taking 2 big steps!! The 82's and 64.....big upgrade... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elementfbl114 Posted August 13, 2010 Author Share Posted August 13, 2010 Thanks for all of your guys input. I ended up ordering it thursday! And it looks like it will be here Tuesday... I really want to skip work[] I'm pretty sure Im also picking up a pair of rs-3s for 100 for part of my surround. It's hard to find anything out about them but I heard they can fill up aroom pretty well by themselves... I was looking into some rb-61s, but I couldn't talk down the guy from 375 used, I have found similar prices new so im going to pass. Eventually I would like to get 4 rs-62s for the surrounds but im a little low on money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrgreene1968 Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 did you get these yet? Wandering how the rc64 sounds with the 82,s? I just ordered me a rc64 to replace my rc62[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elementfbl114 Posted August 19, 2010 Author Share Posted August 19, 2010 They all sound amazing [] The rc-64 easily sounded fuller than my previous left, right, and center combined. I can't comment on the difference from the rc-62 to 64 but everyone said I would want to upgrade down the road so I just skipped a step! Just make sure you have room for the beast. I really couldn't believe the size when I got it, but it's definately worth it. So do you have82s? I wanted 83s but I could justify the 2 grand extra...yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrgreene1968 Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 yep..right now im running rf82, rc62, and rf62 for surrounds..im like you..really wnted the 83,s but couldnt talk myself into spending that much. I ordered a rc64 today..looking forward to getting it[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted August 19, 2010 Moderators Share Posted August 19, 2010 You are going to love it JR. When mine arrived, I took lots of photos and carefully unwrapped it from it's packaging. Photo Gallery My wife thought I was totally crazy but I didn't care. [] It was as wide as one of my theater chairs. It's HUGE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
