cobrasmen Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Hey all, First of hopefully many posts. I'm going for my first (and very entry level) audiophile set up. I listen to a wide range of musical styles from Opera (I'm an opera singer, seriously) to Hip Hop. It's going to be purely for listening to music. No video. Dimensions of the space is approx. 12ft X 30ft In my research this past few weeks I've come up with this as what seems to me a really solid choice for a 2 Channel set up that costs around a grand. RF-62 II's with an Outlaw RR2150 Any one think I'm headed in the right directon? If not, suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennie Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Hey Cobrasmen, Welcome to the Klipsch Forums, we are glad you're here. I do think you're headed in the right direction. I've read a lot of reviews and talked to owners of the Outlaw RR2150 and it is a great unit for the price. It has lots of connectivity, Ipod, turntable, sub woofer, external amp (if desired), USB, CD, etc...! A great place to start! You may want to add a sub soon, with all that "Hip Hop" you "Opera Singers" listen too! [] Good to have you here and don't hesitate to ask questions. There are years and years of expreience here and a whole lot of opinions! Which is usually a good thing! [Y] Dennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnatnoop Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 that's a great unit (RR2150). i had one for awhile, went to tubes and gave it to a friend. kinda wish i still had it, may get another one, very powerful, lots of control down low, very quiet.

cobrasmen Posted July 11, 2011 Author Share Posted July 11, 2011 Hey All, Thanks a lot for the quick replies so far. I think I'm going to take the plunge this week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Excellent, I think you will be pleased!! BTW, we like to see photos of new gear here...[] Also, like Dennie said you may want to add a sub at some point, given your taste in music and the size of your room...

jrod Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 I went back and forth between the 2150 and the Onkyo 9555. The Onkyo won out in the end (combo of reviews, price, and speakers owned). Both were very highly reviewed. I think the 2150 is a great unit, you'll enjoy it. Have you considered any Klipsch Heritage for your 2-channel set-up?
