Pintoracer Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 (edited) I finally upgraded my 5.1 setup to all Reference speakers!!! I have had a thrown together setup for a long time. It consisted of KG-3.2's with Crites updates for the Main L/R, an SC-1 center, RW-8 sub, and KSB-1.1's for the surrounds. For the new setup, I kept the RW-8 sub with plans to upgrade that later. New RF-62 II's, RC-62 II center, and RB-51 II's for surrounds. The RB-51 II's have been in my bedroom for a 2 Channel setup for listening to music. The KG3.2's will be moved to the bedroom for me, and the other speakers I'm giving to my 12 year old daughter to put in her room. I'm Really excited to hear how the new system sounds. I'm living in an apartment right now (divorce). So, really cranking it is not going to happen soon. But, I'm looking for a new home. So, hopefully, I'll be able to put them through their paces soon enough. Really enjoy reading everything here. I've learned a great deal just form reading all of your informative and entertaing post. I'll post some pics as soon as I get the new speakers home! Edited April 8, 2015 by Pintoracer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappydue Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Congrats. The 62's are one of my favorite Klipsch speakers. And there is some great deals out there on them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pintoracer Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 Some of the goodies showed up at my office. The RF-62's had the address wrong. So, I put a hold on them and will pick them up after work at UPS. Can't wait to get them hooked up!!! Feel like a kid on Christmas morning.

akdave Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Congrats, welcome and enjoy the new setup! You may need to set reminders for yourself over the weekend to eat something every 18 hrs or so - take a break and move around a little bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pintoracer Posted April 11, 2015 Author Share Posted April 11, 2015 All I can say is, I'm in love with this setup. Sampling Pink Floyd "The Endless River". It feels like I'm inside the sound coming from them. A very rich, enveloping experience I guess is how I would describe it. So glad I made the leap and purchased them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v8peters Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Congrats on the new purchase! I have the same front three in one of my systems and enjoy listening to them whether in two channel or surround. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pintoracer Posted April 13, 2015 Author Share Posted April 13, 2015 After spending the weekend sampling 2ch music and movies in surround. I'm going to have to say that I'm most pleased with the new center. I was really having problems hearing dialogue in movies. The RC-62 is a huge improvement over the old SC-1 center.

agile1966 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Looks great. It is amazing how much a center can make with movies. My first setup was RF3s and the RC3. The difference was night and day between the RC3 and the THX. Was glad I got my speaker "kids" back in the divorce decree. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
