Heritage_Head Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I'm not the authority on this subject at all. I know very little about timbre matching. Just thought I would pass on the info that klipsch emailed me. The rep from klipsch name is Robert land. Feel free to contact him yourself. Your comment saying that you disagree about them being matched is ridiculous. Keep your head in the sand if you want. Or man up... Email klipsch and then apologize to this forum for spreading false information. now you are throwing robert under the train lol. not good Lol If I called bose and said I have an rc-64ii. And ask do you think it will match your 901s? Do you think they would say no?Only using this example because I know we all know they don’t match.

Moderators Amy Posted April 14, 2011 Moderators Share Posted April 14, 2011 Maybe Amy will pop in and confirm whether or not the RC-64ii is voice matched to the RF-83. I will, and it's not. [] While I'm sure the speakers will sound great together, we did no such "voice matching" between the old Reference line and the new Reference line. I'll make sure customer service is aware.

Moderators Youthman Posted April 14, 2011 Moderators Share Posted April 14, 2011 Man Amy! Your eyes are everywhere! LOL While I'm sure the speakers will sound great together, we did no such "voice matching" between the old Reference line and the new Reference line. I'll make sure customer service is aware. Thanks for clarifying that. It would make sense that they would not be since they have different components. I personally wouldn't hesitate to match the two but that's just me. I don't have a critical ear so I probably couldn't tell that they weren't supposed to go together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonJCarney Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Why are the customer service reps (Robert land) telling people they are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nezff Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 I'm assuming because he probably didnt really know. Amy said she would make sure that they know now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluBitRates Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Klipsch sells their products through wholesalers therefore i imagine customer service is exactly that and less of technical questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is it goes back to one of your words....misinformation. Either that or he just assumed that it was. Honest mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonJCarney Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Copied mail from Amy....... "Hi Jason, I apologize for any confusion, and I will speak with Robert. The answer is not easy, however, because really, the speakers will sound fine when used together. But the question if they were specifically voiced to be an exact match by our engineers, that answer is no. The current Ref line was only voiced with other components from the same line. But again, you can certainly use them together with negligible difference. Hope that helps, Amy".......... I'm posting this because I feel it is information potential buyers should have. -----Original Message----- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Amy Posted April 15, 2011 Moderators Share Posted April 15, 2011 I'm guessing Robert thought the question was more along the lines of "can you use them together," in which case he was correct. I have sent out clarification on this to our team, and I'm sure it won't happen again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonJCarney Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Hi Amy, Thanks for passing the info along to your sales team. For clarification the question I asked Robert Land was " Is the rc 64ii "timbre" matched to the RF 83's? His answer was....... "The RC-64 II is timbre matched to the RF-83 as well as the RF-7 II. I would not expect any issues when pairing them up." ...... I only tell you this so you get a full understanding for what happened. I did not ask a generalized question about pairing. I specifically asked him about timbre matching. Thanks for your help again Amy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willland Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Jason, I think you should let it go and realize there is no real right or wrong here. I had an RC-62 originally with my RF-63's and it sounded great together and was a close match. I bought my RC-64 and my front soundstage became seamless. Many times a system will sound incredible to our ears until we hear something that sounds better, up to that point, we are usually content. Let's all move on from this argument(friendly discussion) and enjoy our Klipsch. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonJCarney Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Bill, There is a right answer. Amy gave it to us. They are not voice matched but should still sound fine together. I just got my 64ii installed yesterday and I have F-3's for fronts. Sounds great to me. [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
