fred jones Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 hi there. after being into audio for 20 years, i have decided to get out of that side and am going to do a small ht / gaming setup for the wife and i to enjoy. have a question or two. i have most of the speakers already bought and waiting for them to arrive : klipsch rs-62 ii klipsch rs-35 surround klipsch rc-52 ii i have a pair of older ohm ( upgraded ) that i " could " use for the mains but the closer the wall you put them to the wall, the more bass you get from them and of course if you pull them out , the bass is less....but the room is only 12 x 12 x 8, so not a very big room and if i pull them out to far, they will be very close to the side surrounds that will be on stands. so my question is this : would it be ok to use a pair of klipsch bookshelf say a pair of 600m ii for the mains instead of the Ohms and then i could put the klipsch closer to the back wall? i have two svs subs that i will also be using. thanks in advance 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter P. Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Can your A/V receiver equalize just the front main Ohm's? If so, I'd try to equalize the bass level to your satisfaction. Otherwise sure; you can use Klipsch bookshelf speakers for the mains. You've already got subwoofers to carry the low frequencies. The proof is, Klipsch already offers such a package.

fred jones Posted December 27, 2023 Author Share Posted December 27, 2023 i am not sure if the receiver offers that function or not......but i did see a you tube video of the receiver and the setup so i could go watch the whole thing and see if if that is an option. well, since they offer a package, then maybe i should just do it then ( dont have to twist my arm : ) i could just sell the Ohms. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khornukopia Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 @fred jones It is very clear about what speakers you have. I think that forum member @YK Thom has some Ohm speakers in his place. Maybe he will see this and can share some useful information for your home theater system. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fred jones Posted December 28, 2023 Author Share Posted December 28, 2023 @ Khornukopia maybe we will get lucky, we shall see. i ran across a member at another site that has a pair of klipsch 600m ii for sale and that is why i started this thread to see if they would work for fronts and told the seller i was interested in purchasing them and then nothing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybob Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 Yes, you can put those Walsh speakers in a 2 channel setup. Welcome! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
82 Cornwalls Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 Obviously the Ohms will not timbre match the RC-52II center, may not be important to you. Why would you move the Ohms away from the front wall? They were designed to be used against the wall. For music I would want to use the Ohms, but for HT/gaming it wouldn't matter at all to me.

YK Thom Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 I use a blended system, Ohm Acoustics 2000s for front mains, Klipsch for everything else. I have found that that the Ohms work extremely well with the Klipsch centres. I have never encountered any issue, timber match or otherwise. I switched out a pair of Klipsch RB61 II as my front mains for the Ohms back in 2016. I find the centre and the Ohms neutral enough they blend extremely well together. If you are dipping into HT you must have an AVR. I roll my Ohms off at 60, the centre and rears at 80 and it works like a charm. I would suggest you try this. Which model Ohm do you have? If it is a 3 (upgraded to 3000) it may be a bit too large for your room. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred jones Posted December 29, 2023 Author Share Posted December 29, 2023 @ YK Thom thanks for the reply..... i have the Walsh 2 that have been upgraded. i only listened to them a few times when i had the 2 channel setup and then i decided to get out of the 2 channel side of things and they have just been sitting there, and then i got the idea of doing this ht / gaming setup and here we are. the room we have is only 11 x 12 x 8 or lets just say 12 x 12 x 8 and if i put the Ohms closer to the wall, then the low end increases and that would be fine if i was doing 2 channel , but we arent. so yes i can move them out into to the room, but i cant move them to much out into the room as then they are going to be to close to the side surrounds. if the room was bigger, then of course this wouldnt be an issue , but there is only so much i can do with a room this size. i can try your suggestion of the settings....and i do have a avr, and last night i was able to get lucky and a member on another site was selling a pair of Klipsch 600m ii, so i was able to grab them this morning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
