the5chord Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 The 8000’s are twice the price of the 82’s locally. I am looking for an upgrade from my 62ii. I seem to push them too hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you driving them with? How large is your room? 15 hours ago, the5chord said: The 8000’s are twice the price of the 82’s locally. Are you saying on the new or used market?

pzannucci Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 RFs are not built quite as nice as the RPs and the RPs have a better high end and smoother. You should listen to both (in your room if possible) to make the determination. You may actually like the RFs for the price difference, depending on the size of the room and the electronics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the5chord Posted October 13, 2019 Author Share Posted October 13, 2019 (edited) Thanks, happy to be here. One is $799 cad and the other $1398 new at two different stores. Unfortunately can’t hear them side by side. the room has lofted ceilings. Sort of open concept with dining room and entry etc. So lots of space to deal with. using Harmon Kardon 3380 or Yamaha A-S501 depending if I want two subs. I might pick up a used 3490 to get a little more power. Edited October 13, 2019 by the5chord Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the5chord Posted October 15, 2019 Author Share Posted October 15, 2019 Went with neither. Wanted to try the Klipsch Heritage stuff out so listened to some Cornwalls and then some Heresy II’s. Came home with the Heresy II’s I don’t know if I am correct but it appears that the soundstage is much improved. I am running the Heresy’s with 2 subs.

pzannucci Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 The Heresy IIs with subs is an excellent choice. Heresy IIs are a favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
