Pegasus Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Hello, New to the forum.....I recently bought a pair of Reference Premiere RP-260F's along with a Reference R-10Sw Powered subwoofer. They sound great together but I think I may need 2 more speakers, I have an open kitchen and living/ dining room set up. I thought maybe a couple of Heresy lll and then use the RP- 260f's as rear speakers. Will my 90 Watts provide enough power, Any thoughts? Thanks!

Seadog Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 (edited) Welcome the the forum. Personally, I would not mix Reference and Heritage speakers in the same system. It might work OK but that would not be the ideal situation. 90 WPC should be plenty for most Klipsch speakers used in a home environment.

Ceptorman Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Welcome Pegasus, I hear lots of good reviews on the RP line. Do you listen to mostly music or movies? I'm with Seadog, I would go with the RP line of surrounds. How about a center speaker…got pics? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegasus Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 (edited) Thanks folks, I listen to music and watch movies both. I kind of thought that might be bad mixture, too much base or conflicting sounds I think ! I don't have a center speaker and have already have spent more money then planned. I will check out more of the RP line. Thanks! Edited July 7, 2015 by Pegasus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mighty Favog Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 (edited) They sound great together but I think I may need 2 more speakers.... There's ALWAYS a need for two more speakers (rubbing hands fiendishly). Edited July 7, 2015 by Mighty Favog 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pegasus Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 I'm seriously thinking about pairing the RP-280F's up with my RP 260F's. That should work for now....These are my first Klipsch speakers and the sound is so nice.... very crisp and clear ! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sancho Panza Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I like the idea of the Heresy III; most ears won't detect any mismatch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted July 7, 2015 Moderators Share Posted July 7, 2015 Welcome your right your RP will match better with your other RP Just be on the lookout if any version Heresy that pops up cheap and try it out, and then go with whatever sounds best to you. If you get some cheap enough you could always resell it for close to what you got it for if you don't like it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I would stick to the RP line. You may actually need more wooferage and not necessarily more speakers as the culprit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegasus Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 Going to decide tomorrow after a good night's sleep. Will keep you informed, thanks for the input !! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappydue Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I've owned the heresey and currently own Cornwalls which sound similar. I have also owned the rp-260. I can assure you they sound nothing alike. What is it you are after? Just more volume? Are you actually wanting surround speakers? I mean we all want more speakers but there has to be a reason. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will check out more of the RP line. Thanks! Welcome to the club...I think that can be said about most of us. I'm with most of the others, I wouldn't recommend mixing and matching between reference premiere and heritage. Scrappy asks a good question though, what is your end goal? Are you looking to build out to 5.1 surround? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegasus Posted July 8, 2015 Author Share Posted July 8, 2015 I want to bring more sound into my kitchen and dining room without cranking up the volume of the RP 260F's. If I went with some RP 280F's, I could also set up a surround sound system along with the RP 260F's. I agree with not mixing speakers, and think that having the 280's with the 8" woofer would complement the 260's with their 6 1/2" woofer. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegasus Posted July 8, 2015 Author Share Posted July 8, 2015 (edited) I think if I would have bought the 280's to begin with, it would have been better, then I may not have needed to buy the extra two. Anyone out there who has an open living space, go with the RP 280's because the RP 260's may not be enough speaker!

It's all relative, but bigger seems better in most cases! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
