Tube-o-phile Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Am wondering if using a pair of the RC-62 II standing on end might not be a better choice than the RB-81 II? Same tweeter but the advantage of having one woofer for the low range and the second woofer going all the way up to the actual crossover point to the tweeter. Only 4.5" taller and a bit narrower, so could be easily done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 The thing to remember is that center speakers perform best when laying flat. You won't get the same dispersion of sound when you rotate the horn 90 degrees. In some Klipsch center speakers (such as the RF-7 I believe) you could rotate the horn 90 degrees and several people did that with good success. Do you have enough space to lay both RC-62 IIs flat like they were designed to be used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tube-o-phile Posted October 10, 2010 Author Share Posted October 10, 2010 Unfortunately, that is true about the disperson. The tweeter 'horn' looks like it is not square, so it cannot be rotated. Too bad. If I was willing to give up the space to have a pair of the RC-62 IIs on their sides I would jump to a pair of La Scalas. Perhaps I can convince (LOL) Klipsch to put the tweeter from the RF-7 II into the RB-82 II box. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeBBBe Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Not only is the tweeter not square, the front is molded in one piece with the horn so you couldn't rotate it anyway.. And as far as I know, the RC-62s are 2-ways speakers, not 2.5-way so both the woofers play the same range of frequencies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
