Timothydn Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 OK...Let me say, that I have been reading excerpts on this site for about a week now waiting for my Klipsch speakers to arrive. I have read about as much as you can about the Reference series and I couldn't wait to hook up my new theater. Here is what I was replacing: B&W 683-Fronts B&W HTM2-Center Definitive Tech. Mythos Gems-Rears I now have: RB-35-Fronts RC-62-Center RB-10-Rears I cannot believe the night and day difference!!! These Klipsch speakers sound so much more detailed than the other speakers I had before! This thread may be boring but I just cant believe that I spent soooooo much money trying to achieve the perfection that Klipsch has provided! I was just interested to see if anyone had the same experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Timothydn, Welcome to the forum. We have another convert on board(thankfully not from the B$$E camp). As a matter of fact we welcome them too. Great setup. I had the RB-35's and RC-62 before my RF-63's and RC-64(the upgrade bug might just bite you so be careful). Come to think of it I have owned two pairs of RF-35's. Plenty of bass for a bookshelf and very detailed. Get a good sub and your setup will be even better. What electronics are you going to use with them? Good luck, Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timothydn Posted December 1, 2010 Author Share Posted December 1, 2010 Bill, As of right now I have a Yamaha RX-V3800, which I love. I am powering the front three with an Emotive XPA-3. I have a premier acoustic 12" sub, but I might just spring for a Klipsch if the subs sound good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klipsch makes nice subs but there are better out there for less $$$. Billl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted December 1, 2010 Moderators Share Posted December 1, 2010 Congrats on your first Klipsch purchase. I've always been a big B&W fan but haven't heard them in a long time, and haven't heard them after purchasing my first Klipsch speakers. So honestly, I can't say how they compare to the Klipsch sound. From what I remember they have a lower sensitivity rating so they demand more power to make them come alive. I'm sure they have totally different sounds due to the Horn loaded tweeters that Klipsch uses. That's good to hear that you prefer the Klipsch over the B&W. I went with Klipsch mainly because they were much less than the B&W's although I liked both. Post some pics of your setup. We all love seeing other peoples gear. Again, congrats and welcome to the forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted December 1, 2010 Moderators Share Posted December 1, 2010 My guess is that the B&W 800 Series and above are sweet but cost a LOT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timothydn Posted December 2, 2010 Author Share Posted December 2, 2010 I looked into the 800 series, but I couldn't build an entire home theater around them...Haven't hit the lotto yet, but maybe someday. Ill try and post some pics later today. I took the day off to set everything up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, me neither. One of the reasons I decided to go with the Klipsch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
campy Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I am going through this decision now. I have the DM-602's as my fronts and the matching center but feel it's lacking in the voices, and just sounds dull. I have been thinking maybe the RF-42,RF-52 or the WF-34 with matching center channel. The ones you have are discontinued so what is the replacement model?
