kwazimoto Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I have a good offer for the RC62 ii but can only fit bookshelves for my FR FL speakers for our family room (20' x 18'). In trying to best match with timbre, power, etc, which bookshelf model would one recommend? (family lines from prior posts pair with floor speakers, not bookshelves). Alternatively, was thinking of the 440 or 450 for centers - if so, would your rec for the bookshelves be the same? Thanks in advance from a new member.

ACV92 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 RB-81 II's would be a good choice for the RC-62 II. RP-160M's with the 440 or 450. Either pair may work fine with either center though. But, if I was to choose I'd go with the aforementioned. BTW - Welcome to the Forum 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K5SS Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I had RB-61’s paired with a RC-62 for a while and I really enjoyed the combo. The good news is that sometimes Fry’s has pairs of RB-61’s on sale for $199, during their weekly promo ads. Haven’t seen them pop up in a few weeks though.. I also had 4 RP-160m’s with a RP-450C and I preferred this ove the the combo mentioned above but not quite sure if it was worth double the price of the Reference II setup I had. You will be very happy either way, they are all wonderful speakers. I am in the camp where I would much rather have bookshelf speakers over towers if you can afford to add a sub with the bookshelves vs. not being able to afford towers and a sub. Something else to consider. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwazimoto Posted June 21, 2018 Author Share Posted June 21, 2018 True that about Fry’s! They have the RC62ii promo for $188 right now. That’s a great deal in case others with a fry’s nearby want to score one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Klipsches Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Agree. I ran rb61ii L/R with an RC 62ii Ctr for a while in a somewhat smaller room, it sounded good. Probably not as good as RB81iiS, but good and reasonably priced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
