dademorrison79 Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Hello everyone, I would like to understand what are the differences between Klipsch RS-52 and Klipsch RS-52II? If the internal components change and if the RS52II sound better or not. I can not understand why the RS-52 weigh 100 grams more than the newe model RS-52II and I do not even understand why the RS-52 can be installed from 1.50 meters up in the instructions while the RS-52II must be installed by at least 1.80 meters up. You can help me choose thanks David p.s. sorry for my poor english Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 The grille covers on the 52 are angled and on the 52 II they are curved. The 52 II is slightly wider (by 4.3cm) and has a wider +- 3dB frequency range. I attached PDFs of the specifications of the two that I found. Recommended minimum height probably has to do with the difference in size, although you have to go with what works best for your room. One may not necessarily sound better than the other. Just slightly different. RS52_635042119333830000.pdf RS52IIcutsheet_635042121882700000.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted December 1, 2018 Moderators Share Posted December 1, 2018 I have owned the larger RS62 and RS62 II and my ears could not hear a difference between the two. The Version 2 have rounded grills vs triangular shaped grills. Woofers on Version 1 are Bronze color while newer Version 2 are a nicer looking copper.

dademorrison79 Posted December 1, 2018 Author Share Posted December 1, 2018 Thanks for the answers, seems that RS52II is a bit 'better but I can not understand why RS52 can' be positioned from 1.50 meters while the RS52II must start from 1.80 meters up to 2.20 meters. I can only mount it at 1.50 meters, I would not want there to be problems with RS52II. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe now it is more common to place a bit higher. I'll bet it has nothing to do with design "differences", size, or performance. My RS-35s sound awesome at 1.93 meters.

wuzzzer Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 You won't have problems mounting either one in any location that works for your room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
