Brewmonkey Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 What do ya'll think of using these for L/R surround speakers? They have decent specs, and ***zon has them on sale for $398.99, regular $549.99. They don't look bad, but they are big. I'm surfing around trying to find the best bang for my buck, and ran across them. Thanks for any advise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Well, you did not give us much to go on. What system do you have? dedicated HT or the system is multipurpose? What type of room, size room, upstairs, downstairs, 5.1, to 9.2.2? Can't help much with limited info. Price is ok and they make for some nice deck speakers.

Price is ok and they make for some nice deck speakers. I have RF 7 II's, and just received my RC 64 III (haven't unboxed it yet). I currently have some lousy Synergy S10's for surround. This is all in a 16X25 room. 70% music use Yamaha Aventage 5.1HT system. Single level house, tile flooring. No desire to go to 7.1, but will go 5.2 eventually. I just purchased the mains and center, so I'm not really wanting to go over $500 for surrounds. Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I don't know what color the other speakers are but, consider aesthetics and match more similar speakers. https://www.ebay.com/i/222941780643?chn=ps The RS 35 is a very nice surround to go with the the RF 7 II and RC 64 III. The RS 35 was one of the best surround speaker that I ever owned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like 'em, they would get me by just fine I think. I have been using RS-35's with my RF-63 setup for several years and feel they do a bang up job in HT and multichannel music. I had several opportunities to "upgrade" to RS-52's and even RS-62's for little $$$(selling 35's) out of pocket but felt I would not gain considerable enough performance to warrant the trouble of uninstalling, patching holes, drilling holes, selling 35's, etc. https://www.ebay.com/itm/PAIR-KLIPSCH-RS-35-REFERENCE-SERIES-SURROUND-STEREO-SPEAKERS-in-BLACK/163020143000?epid=18017488014&hash=item25f4c1f998:g:HVcAAOSw8zNa0lfX https://www.ebay.com/itm/KLIPSCH-REFERENCE-SERIES-RS-35-SURROUND-SPEAKERS-VERY-RARE-TITANIUM-TWEETERS/222941780643?hash=item33e85d9aa3:g:a90AAOSwcEha3gdF Decent price on some RS-52II's. https://kpr.craigslist.org/ele/d/klipsch-surround-speakers/6577093009.html Bill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewmonkey Posted May 4, 2018 Author Share Posted May 4, 2018 I just bought the pair that was listed for $274. These were exactly what I was searching for, but I didn't have had a clue about them. Thanks for taking the time to help me. Cheers! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
