Vankyra Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Greetings, Me and some friendly folks in here had a talk the other days about speakers and avr's. I came to the conclusion that Id by the 820F's for 650€ (black friday sale). So I paid for them via Visa card. The guy from the store called me immediately saying that this model is out of stock and it should be here in 15days or so. In the mean time, I've been searching and reading..did I make the right choice? Should I push the budget and go for the Reference Premiere serie, like the RF-250f or even the RF-5000?? Most people swear that the Rp series is only worth it and everyone should skip the R line. I need your honest opinions 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 (edited) So, it will take around Christmas to get the 820's? Where is that list of towers you have access to? Cannot recall if they had any R Favailable besides 5he RP towers. Going smaller, not as good per our conversation. 2 different lines, RP and Rf.

Exactly, around Christmas. And until then I cant help it but to search around, if I made a good choice. Rp250f at 840€ Rp5000f at 990€ Rp4000f at 800€ The bigger ones like the 280f or the 8000f's go 1000€+.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 8000 is an RP also, as well as the 280's. These and the ones you ordered are 8 inch driver speakers. So, looks to me that the only special price is on the RP-820's. If correct, unless they let you have the 8000 or 280's for the special sale price, you will pay more for those not on sale. Correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vankyra Posted December 7, 2020 Author Share Posted December 7, 2020 Yes, the 8000f's are almost double priced compared to the 820f. Should I go for a smaller speaker but from the RP line since the quality could be better or? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you call and speak with the salesperson to find out if you could get the 280's or 8000 for the price you have already paid on your card? Maybe not you but, I would be unhappy they are out of stock this time of year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would the quality be better in the smaller speakers? 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 820f's I ordered costs 650euros.. so if I wanted to change my order I should pay the extra money.. 3 minutes ago, billybob said: All of the speakers we have talked about so far is the RP line!

I wouldn't concern yourself with the wattage. The RP line is up the Klipsch chain. If you think you might want to upgrade sometime, now is the time, especially since you haven't taken possession of the 820s. Upgraditus is a serious condition! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are smaller is the only difference that matters. Given you my best... Would wait on the 820's and save my money. Your decision.

MicroMara Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 I don't understand at all why you are questioning the decision you have already made. We all worked very hard last week to find the right way. Sure you'll have other speakers and AVRs at some days in the future , but remember you're just starting out and the selection is a really good entry level equipment. Especially in the price-performance ratio. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebuy Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 If Money is the issue and you want a fuller range speaker consider the R-620F. I don't know what they have in your country but the 620's would be a little less expensive and have a good sound. If they have them in stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebuy Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 The Reference Premiere Series will be a better speaker as it uses different materials for all drivers and a better crossover. The cabinet will be better quality also. it depends on your budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was always concerned about wattage, it's always a lovely feeling to have the equipment that can be pushed hard. You have a point there, it's a serious condition and it's on its peak the last few days.. 14 hours ago, billybob said: They are smaller is the only difference that matters. Given you my best...

I will post my thoughts, my budget etc below. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
