wvu80 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I have the RS-62, sadly not for sale my friend. You might want to open your search to include the RS-62 II's. According to @Youthman they sound the same but the II's have a round grille instead of the triangular one, and it attaches via pegs and not magnets. Here is the RS-62. The natural light on the left side shows the darker cooper looking woofer, the other side I used a lamp and it looks much brighter but it isn't. The light is playing tricks on the woof but it is perfect. I know there isn't much to show the size but these are high quality, large, fairly heavy, built like a tank.

Moderators Youthman Posted October 3, 2018 Moderators Share Posted October 3, 2018 Yes, I have owned RS52, (4) RS62 and now (4) RS62 II. Only difference between the RS62 and RS62 II is a rounded grill and RS62 II woofers look like copper where the older RS62 have bronze colored woofers. 59 minutes ago, wvu80 said: You might want to open your search to include the RS-62 II's.

Actually @wvu80 the RS62 II have magnetic grills as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Youthman Posted October 3, 2018 Moderators Share Posted October 3, 2018 @King Kong I ran RS52 for awhile and they had absolutely no problem keeping up with at the time, my RF83 / RC64. I found a good deal on the RS62 and even better deal on the RS62 II. The RS62 do sound slightly larger, maybe a bit more enveloping, but it's certainly not night and day. In this thread, I shared my thoughts on the differences between the RS52 and RS62 It's hard to tell from the photos I took when I had the RS52 and RS62 but this photo of the RF83 and RF7 II show the same differences in color between the two series. You can see in my photo below how the RS62 II woofers are copper in color 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W27 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 The RS62’s don’t pop up often. A pair just showed up on eBay at a good price. It looks like local pick up only. Maybe you could message him and get him to ship. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F123401306933 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted October 3, 2018 Moderators Share Posted October 3, 2018 Just for clarification...his Ebay Ad says RS62 II but they are the original RS62 that you are looking for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you could message him and get him to ship. I had to read the ad twice, it said "four available" and there is only a picture of a single, not pair. Even though the ad also says "speakers" (plural) I bet that is $299 each. The pic shows the original RS-62. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W27 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I agree, it’s a very misleading ad. I noticed it said RS62 II and they were the version 1’s. Because it said speakers, you’d think it’s a pair. I’d definitely message the seller for clarification if there’s any interest. Maybe not a deal at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kong Posted October 3, 2018 Author Share Posted October 3, 2018 (edited) Yeah I noticed that too. I sent him a message for clarification. Would these surrounds be better/advantageous to use than say a floor standing speaker(RF82II) for surrounds?

If you could describe your layout or post a picture or drawing of your setup. We could help with what would work best for your needs.

He thanked me for the correction that those are the original RS-62. He also clarified that the $299 price is EACH. He offered a discount for buying multiple speakers but he didn't say how much.

It all depends on the room but, if is nice to preserve floor space and wire management. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W27 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Here’s a pair of RS52 II’s if you can convince him to ship. Shouldn’t be a problem shipping them. https://www.avsforum.com/forum/209-audio-gear/2978864-klipsch-ht-fs.html#post56904652 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
