The History Kid Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Welcome. On-giong discussion similar to this here: https://community.klipsch.com/index.php?/topic/166440-r-28f-or-r-26f/ 1. All passive speakers need amplification by an amplifier or receiver. Unless your TV is a Pioneer Kuro - you will need a receiver. 2. I recommend neither, personally. I'd recommend either the RP-260F or the RP-280F. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swapnil Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 and also if i have ps4, still i will be needing a receiver or ps4 can act as a receiver, and if not, does the receiver needs to be with atmos? is RP260F OR RP280F better for that kind of room space and is it in the same budget range?

The History Kid Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 No, a PS4 is a source, not an amplifier. Amplifiers will have some sort of speaker connections on the back. The receiver doesn't HAVE to be Atmos. If you want to use Atmos then it will need to have Atmos, otherwise no. Likewise, you'd need to have speakers that would help you get the Atmos experience in your room. Additionally, you'd also have to have a source that is capable of transmitting an Atmos signal. As for the RP-260F or 280F, they will be at a higher price point. I don't think they're that much higher, but they're worth the expense. The R-28F and R-26F are substantially weaker for the money you're dropping into them. You could also look for used speakers on CL. RF-62's and RF-82's are readily found. Just remember, if Atmos is what you're looking for the RP-280FA would be the best bet, and it's at the highest end of the Reference price bracket outside of the RF-7 II.

swapnil Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 wow thanx alot and appreciate your reply, Ibiza. THE Speakers rp260-280f are very much expensive in my country(India), as compare to the r26-28f as i just checked. they are like for 2500$- 3000$. so accordingly which recever should i go for in mid range. my whole budget i can stretch it to 1000$, so in that i need to get all things (receiver and speaker(s)).

The History Kid Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 What will be your primary use of this setup? Movies? Music? Both? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swapnil Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 yes music movies n games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The History Kid Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 You may also consider using RP-160M's and a subwoofer. If I remember right, the R-28F system runs about $1,000 USD - not sure if that translates the same into Rupee's (I believe that's the currency?). Any rate... Amplification, Denon's tend to be well centered, as well as Yamaha and Pioneer. Have you looked at any units already? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swapnil Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 yes yamaha's htr2067, pioneer's vsx330. denon avrx1200, avr x 520bt, yes it is in rupees. so if you were to suggest, which one would you of these brands, irrespective of the models?

swapnil Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 and which one is better 5.1ch or 7.2ch ?if spending few more bucks on 7.2 is better then i will go with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The History Kid Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Stay as far away from the HTR series as possible. The Denon X1200 is probably the best option there. Is there any used market for Klipsch in India? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swapnil Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 ok great thanks. no the new products itself are very much tough to find so there is scope or rather it is of question about the fact of used market for klipsch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The History Kid Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 That's too bad. Limits the options quite a bit. Since you're limited as such, the R-28F would be the better of the two options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swapnil Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 hows marantz as a brand in receiver? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The History Kid Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Marantz is good. They're essentially the same units as Denon, as they're both owned by the same company. The speakers you have ahold of aren't the grandeur of Klipsch - I'd invest more money in the speakers at this point than a "beefy" amp. Klipsch's speaker design is such that they don't require much power. 20 WPC would do wonders for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swapnil Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 ibiza, in speakers klipsch is the brand or should i checkout some more brands as options. any suggestions on that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swapnil Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 'beefy'? such as? denon x 1200 would you call that beefy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The History Kid Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Do-It-Yourself (DIY) speaker kits will yield you the best bang for your buck a lot of the time, but convenience wise, the R-28F's aren't BAD speakers. I don't want to give you that impression. They're simply entry level speakers that may lack the certain charm that many Klipsch speakers provide. As far as the comment on receivers, the X1200 is a solid unit, and based on your speaker options would be just fine for what you want to do.

swapnil Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 ohh ok. so receiver is fixed (X1200) now just the remaining thing is about speakers, now you have me contemplating that whether i should buy r26-28f as you said that they dont have that kind of charm as other klipsch speakers.

The History Kid Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 They don't. But you've been clear that they're your only option in your country. If the RP-260F's are too expensive for your budget, you should stick with the R-28F. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
