bongo4 Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Here it is. I'm building a HT for my girlfriend. we are only going with 3 speakers and a ksw-10. She has a budget of 1k. I can get some brand new rb-3's and find a rc-3II on e-bay. Do u guys think, that would be better than a new 25 series? Rb-25's and the Rc-25. She doesn't have allot of room to work with. Do you think the older 3's will be better? It's a tough decision. I have some rb-5II's and love them. That's why i was considering that route.

skonopa Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 I personally think going with the RB-3 with an RC-3II center would get you a better setup than the '25s. However, the '25s are a good set, but definitly, if you can swing it, go with the higher. General rule of thumb when it comes to Klipsch - buy as big and as high-up the line as your budget and space allows. I.E., if cannot decide between Synergy and Reference, go Reference. If cannot decide between '25 and '35s, go '35s, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 3's will be better, but they do have the bass ports in the back. So just watch positioning. You're a good boyfriend to set her up. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pythagore Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Since space is an issue and women usually don't like big speakers, the Reference sattelites may not be a bad choice. 2 RSX-5 for the Front, 2 RSX-4 for the Back and one RCX4 for center, and you have money left for a RW8 sub. Actually there is ebay auction going on for 4RSX-4 and one RCX4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colterphoto1 Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 I have to disagree with the RSX selections. Seems like not much more than a pretty quintet system. Did one for my brother and it's horribly inadequate. Stick to the RB lineup if you want to spend any quality time with this gal!

bongo4 Posted June 7, 2005 Author Share Posted June 7, 2005 Thanks for your help guys. And your right, I need a decent sound system, when I'm over there. We went with a brand new pair of rb-3's in cherry $350! WOW! And are looking at some rc-3II's on e-bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
