bismarck Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Currently, I own the Synergy B-3 system, and am very pleased with it. I am looking, though, to upgrade. Currently, as many of you know, Magnolia started to carry part of the Klipsch line. This is good for me, because I now get accommodation on the reference series and plan to buy a system. Also, I just began to get accommodation on HK receivers, so I am looking to order one of those. Do you think that this system would match well sonically, have enough power from the receiver, etc...RF-62RC-52RS-42RW-12dHarmon AVR-245Monster power HTS 1600 (because I get it for half and it's stackable)or would I be better off going with the entire synergy F-3 system? from what I have looked at the reference definitely seems like the better choice.

tommyboy1587 Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 That sounds like an excellent setup. I would definitely go with the Ref line instead of the synergy's. I also have synergy's. I am upgrading to reference when I get back to the states. (military, stationed overseas). The HK receiver should definitely do the trick for pushing the speakers, and making them sound awesome. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arky Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 I'm not familiar with your the spks you picked but I ran an H/K 7200 with 7's (before going separates) & it was a great match...good choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bismarck Posted December 25, 2006 Author Share Posted December 25, 2006 the HK is rated at 50x7. I am only going to be running a 5.1 setup. Will it actually be able to push more to the 5 channels, or is there a limiter or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrWho Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 How loud do you watch your movies? And what percentage of music/movies? The recommended RF-62 system is: RF-62 Floorstanders RC-62 Center RS-52 Surrounds RW-12d Subwoofer http://www.klipsch.com/products/details/rf-62-home-theater-system.aspx Any particular reason you selected the smaller center channel and surrounds? If funds are an issue, then you might consider purchasing just the RF-62 and RC-62 and using your old Synergy for surrounds. Then when more funds are available you can upgrade to the RS-52's. I guess it'll be up to you to determine how much short term enjoyment you're willing to sacrifice for the long term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bismarck Posted December 25, 2006 Author Share Posted December 25, 2006 The reason is that those are the speakers i get accomodation on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bismarck Posted December 25, 2006 Author Share Posted December 25, 2006 would that system work, or would i have any timbre matching problems, etc..?I use the system for 80% music and 20% HT. I am happy with my current B-3 system, but if i ca sell it and upgrade to reference for maybe a 200 dollar difference, i will definately do so.

DrWho Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 I think you will be fine - that's quite a bargain you're getting there [Y] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetJockey Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 That HK will really kick those 62's, you will love the setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
