redsoxnation Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Hi all, Here is my issue. My current set up is: Denon 7.2 Channel A/V Network Receiver (AVRX4000) 2 Klipsch RF82 Tower Speakers2 Klipsch RS 42 Book Shelf Speakers1 Klipsch RC 52 Center Speaker1 Klipsch RW 10d powered Sub I am moving to a smaller place and need to put away my two fronts until I move again. I was wondering if moving the RS 42's to the front ould work and using a pair of energy classics to the back would sound ok. Sorry if this is a dumb question. Just looking for an answer to keep the best sound I can as my wife cant stand the large towers in the rook we have. Thanks in advacne.

CECAA850 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 RS would be a surround speaker and RB would be a bookshelf. Did you mean RB? If so, it would work fine. I don't think I'd use a surround in front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Youthman Posted August 26, 2014 Moderators Share Posted August 26, 2014 Your RS42 will not make for good fronts as they are wide dispersion speakers meant to "spray" the sound. Front speakers should be direct firing speakers. As mentioned, RB speakers would work fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsoxnation Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 They are the RS. That is what i thought but figured I would check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelandKlipsch Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I wouldn't advise surrounds for front unless perhaps they were heigt speakers or something fun. I will say I liked my rs42s back in the day. My dad has them now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelandKlipsch Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 If you sell the towers opt for maybe some rb61iis or 81iis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JL Sargent Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 RS on the front will sound better than your TV speakers however! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattSER Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 They would probably sound good, but you would have Bose imaging 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
