Chris Damerval Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Hey guy's I'm another newbie to the forums and have been following your great advice for a couple months which helped me decide to upgrade my system and was going to go with 42 ll's and decided on 52 ll's. I have been told by a few people to match all my speakers by woofer size but I can buy a pair of RF-62 ll's for $50 more a piece than the RF-52 ll's. So my question to you guys is will they overpower the rest of the 7.1 system in a medium sized room? My system so far: ONKYO TX-NR838 Receiver 2 - KF -26 which is being upgraded 1 - RC-52 II Center 2 - RF -51 II Side Bookshelves 2 - RS-52 II Rear Surround's This is an upgrade from a 10 year old HK receiver and 7.1 Infinity primus HT package that I paid $1200 for and thought I spent a ton of money then!

willland Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Chris, Welcome to the forum. I have been told by a few people to match all my speakers by woofer size Even though my system has identical woofers all around, it is not necessary. I can buy a pair of RF-62 ll's for $50 more a piece than the RF-52 ll's. The RF-62II's will give you a fuller sound especially if your room is on the >medium size. On the other hand, I would not "upgrade" to the 62II's unless you are able to "upgrade" to the RC-62II also. The RC-52II just does not have the capability of the RC-62II. If integrated well with a quality subwoofer in a smallish room, the RF-52II system can sound really good, very balanced. How large is your room approximately in cubic feet?

Chris Damerval Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 I'm actually at work right now but will be home in an hour and will get it measured. I'm guessing about 300 but that's just off the top of my head Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Damerval Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 Oh and I'm not able to upgrade to the RC-62 II because I'm very limited on space above the tv Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I'm guessing about 300 but that's just off the top of my head I am guessing you mean 3000ft3 not 300ft3. Oh and I'm not able to upgrade to the RC-62 II because I'm very limited on space above the tv I understand. If your room is say around 3000ft3, then a full RF-52II system with a good sub/subs should be just fine. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Damerval Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 Yeah, yeah that's what I meant to say, thanks and I'll just save the extra $100 or possibly another $100 since they are asking $349 and I have talked them down on all of them so far. I got the RS-52 II's for $250 a piece plus tax and the RB-51 II's for $270.60 which is the only reason I was considering stepping up to the RF-62 II's.

willland Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 RB-51 II's for $270.60 Where did you get the RB-51II's? I am considering them for my PC speakers. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Any ideas what subwoofer/subwoofers you might get? Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Damerval Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 I got all my speakers from Nebraska Furniture Mart in Kansas City, KS and they have 2 other stores. 1 in Omaha, NE and the other is in Des Moines, IA. The website is NFM.com but to get sale prices and to talk them down would be best done in person or phone depending on where you are located. I already bought a sub from them too. It's the new Klipsch R-110SW and I was really impressed with the sound of it. It doesn't sound like the older models but it also wasn't my first choice, which was the svs pb-2000 but my wife threatened to kill me in my sleep if I keep going, especially if I go anymore over the budget!

Chris Damerval Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 I have also talked to a guy named Eric from World Wide Stereo (an online store that I found on Amazon) and I believe he would do whatever it takes to gain our business and would probably match those prices. Don't quote me on that because he never came straight out and said it but he really sounded like he wanted to steal the rest of my business from NFM.

Ceptorman Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 For $100 more, I would definitely go for the 62ii. It will save you on the upgrade bug that always seems to happen. Welcome and good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
