swa99a Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Hi guys, I'm new to the site but enjoy the klipsch sound tried the icon series they were nice but heard the reference series was much better just wondering what's the difference between the 62ii vs the 82ii for movies and music I do want a big sound stage when I want one but also want crisp details and nice full sounds before it crosses to the subwoofer and also does the rc 62ii timbre with the rf 82ii. Thanks in advance klipsch fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sancho Panza Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Welcome Home to the Klipsch Forums! Yes, the RC-62II matches; if you look on the Klipsch site, you'll see it comes with the RF-82II Theater Package, along with RS-52II & SW-115.

willland Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) Swa99a, Welcome to the forum. For more presence and bigness for movies, go with the RF-82II. For possibly better(smoother) crossover transition(6.5" woofer>>>1 inch tweeter), the RF-62II "can" be more musical. Yes the RC-62II is timbre matched to both 62's and 82's.

swa99a Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 Now I will be sitting 8-9 feet away this ok for rf 82ii and is the 82ii a nice tight crisp sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) Now I will be sitting 8-9 feet away this ok for rf 82ii You will not just hear those (4) 8 inch woofers, you will feel them. is the 82ii a nice tight crisp sound I would say mostly yes but room acoustics will factor into that and amplification. I don't know what you will be driving the 82's with but look for a more neutral/bright preamp/amp or receiver to aid in your goal. I drive my RF-63 setup with a dead on neutral NAD pre/pro and Acurus amps and the result is crisp and detailed the way I like movies and for that matter most music.

swa99a Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 Was thinking emotiva xp 3 now am I supposed to put the speakers to small and let the sub take care of the lower sounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Was thinking emotiva xp 3 Good choice, definitely not on the warmish side. What receiver are you using? am I supposed to put the speakers to small and let the sub take care of the lower sounds Most publications suggest this as well as Audyssey.

Scrappydue Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I've owned them both. Save your money. Get the 62's. When crossed to a sub MOST will not be able to pick em out blindly. Out the extra money towards the sub. Call mike at acoustic sound design for a great price and the RF-62ii/rc-62ii. Should be able to get that combo for around 1100$ if I recall quotes from a while back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swa99a Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 Don't have one yet honestly I m new to the HT scene I'm up from a soundbar so I'm just research ing and since I know I want klishp I figured I hit the community and see what you guys have to say cause a lot of other four will say oh klipsch are to bright go with this and so fourth so I rather deal with those who own or have owned klishp any advice I greatly appreciate was thinking marantz denon onoko I figure nothing less than $800 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappydue Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 800 will get you a refurb or possibly new denon x4000. Xt-32 and preouts! What you thinking for a sub? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 marantz denon onoko All mentioned are solid brands but IMO, Onkyo or Yamaha wll give you the best chance of achieving a brighter and crisper overall tone. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swa99a Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 But I am suppose to put speakers to small if I do does the 82ii sound crisp and do the 8 inch woofers give you good sound basically what I'm asking is the 2 front speakers puts out the effects on a movie sound track so the 82ii sound crisp and tight do they have a edge on the 62ii or do they not image as well as the 62ii thanks sorry just new to this and been thinking about this for 3 weeks and what if I move back 10- 12 feet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swa99a Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 Scrappy do you have you tube video under snobby do with klishp 63 64 center 62ii Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappydue Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) Yes you can set small or large. Your call. I set all my stuff to small and run subs. Like I said already I have owned both and I would take the 62's and out the price difference I to a better sub than what you may be planning on getting. Plus if rather have the center woofers match the tower ministers than not. Either is gonna blow your sound bar away. So again my vote is 62's for Mains. 62 for center and then better subwoofer Edited August 5, 2014 by Scrappydue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
