justrelaxing Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Well got my basment ready. Its about 13x17. I have a klipsch center speaker (think its a C3) I have Klipsch Tangent 50's but that takes up too much space. Is there speakers that can go from book shelf to wall mount in about a year or so? I am being deployed, but would like to buy some speakers to set up with current tv. When I get back from Iraq, I would like to install a projector and thinking wall mount speakers would be the way to go. If anyone else has done a different set up or has ideas, I would love to hear them. Any help is useful. Will be buying a Denon 2807 at the end of the month when I get a few days at home prior to flying out. Budget would be around 1500 if that sounds reasonable. Or will I have to step into another area for a brand of speakers. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoudnClear Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 First, thanks for you service to this nation. The RB-81s are sweet bookshelf loudspeakers that wouldn't be hard to wall mount. A nice sub and you've got a respectable entry level theatre front end. http://www.klipsch.com/products/details/rb-81.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MatrixDweller Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 On your budget I would consider two pairs of RB61's and a Synergy Sub12 or a RW12d. That will squeak you just under the $1500 mark. The RB81's, although very nice (I have them), would put you over budget. If you could find some Synergy B-3's they would do fine as well and are mated with the C3 normally.

justrelaxing Posted June 9, 2007 Author Share Posted June 9, 2007 I took a look at the RB-61 and RB-81...both seem sweet. Would you buy 2 pairs of them? front and rear? Or would you use them for either the front or rear and go with another size? Also, is there a big difference with the the size 10 and size 12 subs? I am in the Army...........heading over to the sandbox in July Your welcome for my service..... Thanks for all your help.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatrixDweller Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 I'm using bookshelves for Fronts and surrounds and am pretty happy. People say that if you use 5 identical speakers in your 5.1 set up you will get the best overall sound. If you look at Klipsch's THX Ultra 2 speaker system they use identical LCRs for the fronts and center and slightly smaller model for the rears. Since the bookself speakers lack a little on the bass side a good sub is a must. The RW12d and Sub12 output a little more and go a little lower than their 10 inch brothers.

NorthernXposure Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Hi I have recently started upgrading. I have a complete package that I would let go for right at 1500$ if you are interested. There are all brand new KEF. I have used them for about 5 months very lightly as I live in an upper duplex and can't disturb my neighbours. The front floor standers are Q5's, center is Q9C and surrounds are Q2DS dipoles all in Dark Apple and in "as new" condition from a smoke free pet free home. I have a complete set of photos if required. please feel free.These are mind blowing at any price. Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
