Watson Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I recently purchased some RF-63's, I got a fairly good deal on them, $950 for the pair, and I would like to build a 5.1 setup around these speakers. I notice that Klipsch reccomends the RC-64 for a center channel, and then RS-62s for surrounds, but my question is could I get away with using the RS-52's? As far as a sub is concerned I was looking at the RW-12d... Anyone see any reason as to why the RF-63s , RC-64, RS-52s, and RW-12d wouldn't mix?

JCHout Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I would like an answer to this question also, as this is exactly what I am thinking of doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arky Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Anyone see any reason as to why the RF-63s , RC-64, RS-52s, and RW-12d wouldn't mix? Welcome to the forum guys! My answer is based on the previous reference 7 line. I think you will be fine as long as they are all in the same class of the reference line. I am not familiar with the new line nor that sub. I do know you will want the best center channel available which would be the 64 in that line. Someone else will answer eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watson Posted June 20, 2007 Author Share Posted June 20, 2007 Thanks for the reply, I was basically trying to find a way to save a couple hundred bucks by using the RS-52 surround speakers instead of the RS-62, the only difference I saw in the spec sheet was the size of the drivers... Same with the Sub, the recommended sub is a 700W three driver sub, the one I was looking at is a single 12" and only 340W... Im just curious as to whether or not the difference in driver size or output will make all that big of a difference in terms of sound quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arky Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 If you're setting up a movie theater I would not skimp on the center or the sub. It's annoying to not hear clear dialogue & you have to feel the booms, bangs etc. of the lfe effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's annoying to not hear clear dialogue & you have to feel the booms, bangs etc. of the lfe effects. Yeah thats true...Im just struggling to justify the $1600 for a sub?...I dont know. The center channel will certainl by an RC-64, I have heard the whole 60% of sound bit enough times to not want to skimp on that...Rear surrounds though are an even tougher choice...I mean not only is there the choice of the WDST or Direct sound from a traditional speaker, there is size coming into play.. I have never used a speaker that uses WDST so I dont know if I would really hear a difference, but, I have read posts in this forum of users not liking it all that much in comparison to a non-WDST speaker.

oldbuckster Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 $1.600. is alot for a sub......in my opinion.......I would buy a less expensive unit, if you like it, you could move up the line later....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts exaclty.... One somewhat off topic question; Has anyone purchased anything through a company called AVB Direct, they have a lot of Klipsch speakers, infact all of the speakers and the subwoofer I was looking for for really nice prices compared to local retailers. I just rarely order anything off Ebay and was wondering if they are good as their feeback makes them look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watson Posted June 21, 2007 Author Share Posted June 21, 2007 Alright Im just going to run this by anyone that might read this and let me know you thought on the setup I am proposing... Currently I have a pair of RF-63's Looking at purchasing a RC-62 for center channel RS-52s for surrounds and and RSW-10d... If anyone has any advice regarding this, whether it be, for or against the purchase of these additional speakers it would be greatly appreciated.

Watson Posted June 22, 2007 Author Share Posted June 22, 2007 Okay besides WDST versus a Traditional style speaker, whats the difference between a pair of RB-61's and a pair of RS-52s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
