Billy Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Hi, I'm from Paris, here Kilpsch are quite pricey. I can get a pair of RF-5 for 1500$ which is almost half price compared to the French MRSP. Do you think it's still worth to get those RF-5 or should I wait for the release of the new reference series such as RF 63? Would they match with the RC35 and the RS35? Thanks for your help.

CECAA850 Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Welcome to the forum. The RF-5's will match up nicely with the RC-35 and RS-35's. If you go with the newer Reference line, I would change center and sides also. I have NOT heard the RF-63's personally so take my advice with a grain of salt. I like my speakers to be from the same line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Traveler Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Hey Billy, Welcome to the forum. [] If you can get new RF-5's for half price I would think it would match your system quite nicely. I don't know how it compares to the RF-63 but for half the cost you couldn't go wrong. If I can find a pair of RF-5's for a good deal I am going to switch out my RF-3's that I have in my HT listed below. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Posted May 22, 2006 Author Share Posted May 22, 2006 Hi, Thank you for your answer. As the new reference line is still not released in France, I can't go to the nearest dealer shop and ask him for a demo. I've heard the RF-5 and the RF-7 and I love it very much. It seems the new RF-82 sounds very great too. I can imagine the RF-82 will be priced alround 3000$ in Europe! How much do they cost in the US? Thanks.

SilverSport Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 welcome Billy...there are many here who like the RF-5s over the RF-7s...I have RB-5s (little brother to the RF-5???) and they are very nice...good luck...you are well on your way when you start with Klipsch...AND this Forum!...Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Posted May 23, 2006 Author Share Posted May 23, 2006 Hi silversport, You're from Illinois, the first time I discovered Klipsch when I was in Chicago. I was very impressed about the great sound. Then back to Paris, I bought a KWS 12. I'm also very impressed about the equipment you guys have, most of you have big speakers that produce big and great sound. In Europe, and specially in Paris, we usely have smaller rooms, and we can not buy such a huge speaker, it won't fit the size of the room and will sound bad.[] I'm very happy to be able to discuss and share information with people like you, I think I can learn a lot from you all. Thanks. Billy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybertec Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 I just got the new RF82 Towers and RS62 Surounds, and they sound great with my RC-35 center, I also use a 900Watt SVS Sub PB2-Plus, hope this helps you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 I've owned 3/5/7s,the rf5 is a very nice speaker and will perform great in all but the largest rooms.If you can get a deal I'd say go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
