greg0320 Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Need expert help here. Since the RF82 was not in yet, I made the mistake of listening to Klipsch RF63 speakers. Excellent!! Issue is, accordingly to Klipsch, the best match based on same compression drivers (?), RF63 works better with RC64 center channel speaker versus RC62. The difference in price, and more importantly size, between the two center channel speakers is hugh. The RC64, being 4 6 inch woofer versus RC62 (2) represents a difference in width of 10 inches (23 vs 33). I would have never considered the RF63 given the price difference between it and the RF82 ($850 per pair). However, this store currently has the RF63 "B" stock a cosmetic difference which with black speakers I cannot see) at a price of $450 less per pair). Question is, since I am not really considering jumping to the RC64, does the difference in matching the RC52 with the RF63 regarding sound quality outweigh the cost benefit of purchasing the RF82 with the RC62? Definitely need help here. Thanks Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg0320 Posted May 5, 2006 Author Share Posted May 5, 2006 By the way, not sure if it matters, but AVR that I will be using is Denon 807. Thanks again Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.HUNT Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 if cost is the issue go with the RC-62 and RB-62 so you match driver size and and tweeters. The best way to set up a home theater is to have 5-7 of the identical speakers, or at least match the drivers and tweeter. For instance my setup runs 7 RC-62's all arround and sounds seamless! I am contenplating going with the RC-64 for my center just because I like how big it is. So I may have a 2 week old RC-62 for sale cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg0320 Posted May 20, 2006 Author Share Posted May 20, 2006 RB62?? Definitely prefer floorstanding versus bookshelf for front speakers. Listened to RF63 and RC62 today with movie where dialogue is switching front left, right, center (Finding Nemo). I know that these are not supposed to match, but I think anyone would be hard pressed to tell the difference. When the RF82 comes in this week, I'll listen again. May come down to which front I like the best (RF82 or RF63) since I think that either will actually go with RC62. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfsBane Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 I have to agree that you want to keep the drivers of all three front speakers as close as possible for better uniformity and sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
