Heritage_Head Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I personally have owned the 42, 52 and now the rs-62ii. To me in a smallish room the 52 and 62 are pretty close but I wasn’t a big fan of the 42 when comparing them to the other two.

rustolem Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Well room is about 19x19 with 8 ft ceilings and the surrounds will be very close to my seating postion to where I can almost reach out and touch them. That's why I thought that I might need the larger speaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shodrewken Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I haven't heard either the 42's or 52's but I've been very pleased with my 62's! They compliment the rest of my system very nicely and they sound just awesome. I think with your room size that the 62's will fit you well.

Heritage_Head Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 If they are that close the rb line might be the better option. They are made to point right at the lp. The rs line isn’t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rustolem Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Got another question for everyone, for those that already have their RF-7ii's, what other speakers did you consider or replace before buying the Klipsch? Ready to order but still not 100% sure, its a toss up between the Klipsch and Aperion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonJCarney Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I considered Paradigm monitors. Love the looks and sound of paradigm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRishi Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I replaced by Klipsch Promedia Ultra 5.1 that I used for HT. Since my main device is a htpc, worked quite well. The RF7II's are definitely a nice upgrade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caiazpa Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Well guys, I decided to get the RF-7ii's. I ordered them from www.acousticsounddesign.com along with the RC-64 and the RS-62's and although R&L Carriers did everything they could to botch the delivery, they finally made it here safe. Here's a pic. For some reason the forum clips my image, but if you click it you can see the whole image. I don't have the surrounds set up yet as the stands I am building for them are not yet done. After seeing the RS-62's I am glad I am overbuilding the stands, as these things are huge. Much much bigger than the RS42's they are replacing. Here are the stands in progress - will be black and have nice rounded edges when finished: I am planning on upgrading my subwoofer later this year, but for now, I am very happy. Need to run YPAO and calibrate everything, but I am going to be traveling and won't have time to do that until I get home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caiazpa Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Question for you guys - Do you set the RF7's to small or large in YPAO/Audyssey? How about the RC64? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted April 16, 2012 Moderators Share Posted April 16, 2012 It's all preference. Some say set them all to small and let your sub handle the lows. They play cleaner that way. IMO and in my setup, to mine and a friend of mine's ears, setting my RF-83's to large sounded more full and better to our ears. There really is not a right or wrong way as far as whether to set them to small or large. Try both ways and choose what sounds best to you.

Heritage_Head Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I agree with youth no right or wrong way. Try and see what you like best. I set mine to large and have tried just about every setting crossover wise but always come back to large. To my ears they just sound better.

Zen Traveler Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 If you have a capable sub in most rooms you would set them to small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COACH10810 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 My 7's are finally hooked up and so far I am highly impressed. Still need to dial them in some and then I will get some pictures posted on here. Guess I need to change my signature to reflect my changes. :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
