rennoc442 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 (edited) Looking for a set of black RB61 ii or RB81 ii. Must be in great shape. I am located in central florida, 32796. Edited December 29, 2013 by rennoc442 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Not a bad price, I think? http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEVER-HOOKED-UP-Klipsch-Speakers-RB-81II-Speakers-OPEN-BOX-ONE-PAIR-/141142071016?pt=Speakers_Subwoofers&hash=item20dcb916e8 Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rennoc442 Posted December 29, 2013 Author Share Posted December 29, 2013 Not bad, but what throws me off is the description, it says black but the pic is cherry? I just emailed the seller to clarify. Since I have the black center, black surrounds and a black sub, I would for once like to have an all matching system! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Here are some black 61II's. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEVER-HOOKED-UP-Klipsch-Speakers-RB-61II-Speakers-OPEN-BOX-1-PAIR-/201000393887?pt=Speakers_Subwoofers&hash=item2ecc8e9c9f Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rennoc442 Posted December 29, 2013 Author Share Posted December 29, 2013 That's like half price. What do you think bill, go for the 61 or 81? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 That's like half price. What do you think bill, go for the 61 or 81? Kimba, What is your main goal with this setup? What size room will this rig be in? Both 61's and 81's are very nice sounding speakers with plenty of midbass punch. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rennoc442 Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 The goal is a small (2nd) ht with mostly music being played. The room is 12 by 18. I would guess the 61's would be suffice but you know how the upgrade bug works! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I have a pair of RB-35's in a 13.5 x 13.5 guest bedroom and they have no problem filling the room in stereo. If you are going multichannel, yes the RB-81II's would be "better", but not by much. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappydue Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Are they gonna be mains? If so maybe the 81's but then if it's your second home theater and you already have another maybe just save the money and get the 61's instead and maybe out the additional saved towards a sub or something?

I think the 61's would be fine but I hate not knowing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its gonna be mains, and needs to be up to par with the RC 62ii center, RW-12d, and RS10's. I am thinking of future proofing too, if I get the 61's then want to later on use them as mains in a 2 channel alone, I think I would be disappointed.

Scrappydue Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I the RB-81 is the only speaker in the ref line I haven't heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
