Barley boy Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Good evening Gents new to this forum, I have just sold my B&W Matrix 805s with matching center channel. Tomorrow I was planning on purchasing the RP6000F & RP600C any thoughts or guidance would be appreciated thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyrc Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Welcome to the forum! I can't believe we let 9 days go by before anyone answered you! The Klipsches are more sensitive ("efficient"). It will be like exchanging your amplifier for one of 4 times the power. Even so, some B & Ws are "voiced" to give you more bass proportionally (but I don't know about the Matrix 805). The Klipsches will probably be more "up-front." Place them near a wall for boundary gain, but don't block the port. Give yourself time to vary the positioning of both the speakers and your main listening position. Allow time for speaker break-in. This is a controversial subject; estimates of the time it takes varies from 0 ("it's hogwash") to hundreds of hours of playing music. My take: Klipsch speakers I've had seem to sound better after about 1 or 2 long weekends of constant (or at least repeated) use. Start at a relatively low or low-medium volume at first, then louder later. Turn up the bass control (if any) a little if you need to, or add a good subwoofer, but one that can keep up with your Klipsches. What kind of amplifier or AVR do you have? Good Luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
