evolusean Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 I'm new to the AV world, & I went out & purchased a pair of RF-82s , RC-52 center, & a RW-12 sub. These were bought from a local "CHAIN" store. I am about to buy some speakers for the rear, either RS-42s or RB61s. I now realize that these speakers are from different series of Klipsch. So basically is it a bad thing to have such a "mix" of speakers? The room is 12' wide, & 18' long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Those speakers are all from the current generation of Reference speakers so you'll do fine with either ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello there, for surrounds (placed on each side of the listener in a 5.1 system )I would go with the RS series, much better for "surround" use in movies, the RB series is better suited for use as small front speakers or rear surrounds( in a 7.1 system located on the back wall facing forward). Those speaks will all mix quite well together, just ensure that each channel is balanced for output levels( all speakers are at the same volume at your listening position) Enjoy!

evolusean Posted March 21, 2007 Author Share Posted March 21, 2007 Thanks. I'm going to audition a store set up tomorrow that has the same speakers. This should be interesting. The room my be a bit too small for 7.1, but you'll never know[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
