greencheese Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Hi guys, I have a little question. I currently run in 2.1, Tower RF82 + Sub sw112 Klipsch. I have seen on special a central Klipsch ( RC500B ), does it worth it and does my AV receiver will take it and will it make a "Big" difference. I want later maybe in a year to buy 2 surround speaker, so i don't know if i should wait to buy all 3 ( Central + surround ). Or should i take the deal, and notice a difference that worth the price i pay. Thank for you time guys Receiver: AVR Denon 1713 Speaker; RF82x2 Sub: sw112 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heritage_Head Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Do you mean rc-52? (not sure what RC500B is). I would get the rc-62 to match the rf-82 if your budget and space would work. 3.1 would be better than 2.1 for sure and if you plan on getting surround speakers down the road then yes.

Snoman Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I would be willing to bet that he's in Canada and he's looking at Future Shop.. The RCA-500b is a rebadged RC-52. Go with the RC-62 if you can a) afford it fit it and c) find it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennie Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Again, I'd rather buy surrounds and have a phantom center. You can fake a center channel, but you can't fake surrounds. Most modern AVR's can be set to run a phantom center, so the center channel signal goes to the front L and R speakers. It actually dosen't sound bad. But, you can't fake surrounds. So, if it were me and I was building an HT, I would buy surrounds first, then a center channel. To answer your question. NO! It's not worth it, IF you are building an HT. If you looking to listen to some of the old Phillips 3 channel CD's, then yes. For HT, NO! IMHO. Dennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vnzbd Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I would say that 3.1 is better than 2.1 for movies. IMHO the dialog is much cleaner while maintaining the execent dynamics through your mains. Eons ago when I ran pure 2 channel on movies I had a lot of "what did he say?" but that is all gone with the addition of a good matching center!

Mongo171 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 All I have right now is a 3.1 system. Next up will be some surrounds. You get the dialog free and clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
