ivanhurd Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I was reading another thread and it made me curious. Are my RS-62 IIs not timbre matched with the rest of my system? Would it have been better to go with the 52s or would it make that much of a difference? I would imagine it is, but in the package deals klipsch puts the 52s with the rest of my system...whoops?

Schu Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 everything looks fine to me... if there is an issue, perhaps the 706 is the weak link. But i am sure it sounds good as is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it have been better to go with the 52s or would it make that much of a difference? No issues at all. When it comes to surrounds in the Reference series, all tweeters are the same similar(1 inch) and any of the three(RS-42II's, RS-52II's, RS-62II's) will be fine. You will definitely get a bit more presence with the RS-62II's. I would imagine it is, but in the package deals klipsch puts the 52s with the rest of my system...whoops? Remember, the Reference HT packages are grouped to a pricepoint as well as timbre matching. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shodrewken Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Like Bill said you're fine with your 62 II's, they are an awesome speaker! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivanhurd Posted May 14, 2012 Author Share Posted May 14, 2012 Cool, I figured it would be fine, I just wanted to double check. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember, the Reference HT packages are grouped to a pricepoint as well as timbre matching. Bill I kind of thought that to bill. But now I’m not sure. After seeing a few different reference speaker drivers that I would have assumed where the same and are not. Here are a few examples an rb-51ii horn and an rb-61ii horn. Both 1” horns in the same line. And the other example is the 6.5” driver in the rb-61ii and rf-62ii. I would have thought they would be the same drivers but are not. Having owned all the RS speakers (42,52 and the 62) I wouldn’t be surprised if some if not all had different horns mated with the different size drivers. First pic is the rb-51ii 1" horn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heritage_Head Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 There are other examples I have seen to but you get my drift. I’m surprised and impressed that they seem to have engineered different drivers to match with each speaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivanhurd Posted May 15, 2012 Author Share Posted May 15, 2012 ^^^I'm guessing it has a lot to do with the enclosures for the speakers as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heritage_Head Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 As you know the rs-62ii are monsters. The rs-42ii and even rs-52ii are really small is size next to the rs-62ii. No way they would fit the horn from the rb-61ii in the rs-42ii or the rs-52ii. But looking at the rb-61ii next to the rs-62ii (own both) my guess is that is what’s in them. And probably something closer to what’s in the rb-51ii (horn) is what’s in the rs-42ii and rs-52ii. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
