ROSSONERI68 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 (edited) Hello, I introduce myself, I am Sébastien, and I am French. Since 1 year, I have the happy owner of a pack KLIPSCH R-28F + R-25C + RP-140sa + R14S + R-112SW I just bought a pair of RP-280F, and an RP-450C, to replace my scene before. Unfortunately, my living room is not a dedicated room, and only 15M2. The advantage I had with the R-28F is that the EVENT was in the front, so that I could stick my columns against the wall. Today, with the RP-280F, the EVENT is at the rear, which complicates positioning. Can you tell me if 20cm with a small pinch of the column can be enough to make the RP-280F work properly. I apologize in advance for the translation, I do not speak English, and it's GOOGLE that works for me.

TasDom Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I believe you are asking and comparing rear ported vs. front ported speakers. 20 cm is roughly 8 inches away from the column. I think you'll be ok in my opinion Welcome! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROSSONERI68 Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 I want to talk about the rear part of the columns RP-280F, and yes 20cm correspond to 8 ". Thanks for the precision. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the precision. The rear part of your speaker or columns as you call them are "ports" 20 cm from the wall should be fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROSSONERI68 Posted January 8, 2018 Author Share Posted January 8, 2018 Hello everyone, I get my RP-280F last Saturday, and even if they are still running, I am already very satisfied with my purchase. I was able to position them at 29cm from the back wall, and the sound is impeccable. I must receive the RP-450C on Wednesday, I hope it will give me the same satisfaction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augustin Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Dont forget to calibrate your speakers with Dirac Live. Those speakers Will come tot LIFE! I got my Klipsch speakers hooked up with the NAD T758 v3,and Comes with Dirac.an its heaven,without Dirac the Klipsch sounds flat. But with filter its unbelievable.
