Nitemare Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Hey Guys, i need some help here. As you know the MK 1 RF 62 are pretty old by the manufacturing date and i am wondering which center i should get now. Do you think i should go for the RC 62? It is the only speaker i can find in my country to buy new. Or is it better to pick a completly different center from a different series like the RP 440 C? Unluckily i have no way to check them out live, hehe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Nitemare, Yes the RC-62 would be the "best" choice and RC-62II would be the next best choice. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitemare Posted April 19, 2016 Author Share Posted April 19, 2016 (edited) It looks like the RC 62 and RC 62 MK 2 are now not available anymore. My dealer offered me the RP 440 C or the RP 250 C. In conjunction with the RF-62 do you think this works? I don't have a very good AV - Receiver and i don't know if it can handle the RP 440 C. It is the Onkyo TX-SR508. by the data sheet it states at power output at 6 Ohm it has 130 W for the Center. For dynamic power 100 W at 8 Ohm.

Scrappydue Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 unluckily in germany you don't see them that often be patient and wait. The 250 or 440 are not a good match for the 62's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The History Kid Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 be patient and wait. The 250 or 440 are not a good match for the 62's.and why is that? Different horns, different crossovers, different sound. They weren't designed with the RF-62's in mind at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoboKlipsch Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 When the three up front are exactly what was designed (the RC62), the sound is as close as you're going to get to having 3 fronts that are the same, which is considered ideal scrappydue has used just about every speaker around also so he's suggesting from experience...not specs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitemare Posted April 26, 2016 Author Share Posted April 26, 2016 This is what i got from official klipsch support: "The RP440c would fit into your system without any issues. It uses the same style of drivers and tweeters that the Reference IV series uses" This is quite interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupid if you ask me that they even employ people that will lie to you like that. maybe they should be sued for false advertising them. Cause I thought the new tweeters were taking technology from the palladium line. Lol sounds like a huge load of BS if you ask me. Klipsch has lost so much respect from me.
