tercero6869 Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 i have a 4 year old onkyo htib . keeping receiver for now 100 w per channel. budget is under 1400. was thinking of quintet III with sub 10. or would the f1 system with sub 10 be that great of a upgrade . this is strictly for home theater. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 http://www.klipsch.com/products/lists/floorstanding-systems.aspx That link shows a couple systems in your price range. The F1 system (which you mentioned) and also the RF-10 system. I would highly recommend either of those over the Quintet III system unless you need the smaller speakers that the Quintet system has. Between the F1 and RF-10 system the RF-10 would get my vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tercero6869 Posted September 23, 2007 Author Share Posted September 23, 2007 you are saying the rf10 is a better system than the f1 , as the sub goes rpw 10 or sub 10, remember this is strictly movie sound.i want to feel that explosion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Reference series speakers will always get the nod over Synergy series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndskyz Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Dont forget about the Cinema Series. Reference sound in a much smaller package http://www.klipsch.com/products/details/cinema-10.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MojoRisen Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Probably missed you on this but..... I would get the RF-52 system. You could get that from Best Buy / Magnolia on a price match for around 1480.00 (whatever 20% off MSRP is). I think that would be a jammin' musical and HT system. BB met a local dealer's price (20% off) and gave me 2 years with no interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brac Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Best Buy is selling Reference series? Your kidding right? What state are you in? Thanks Brac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MojoRisen Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I'm in Daytona Beach, FL. I don't know if all but..a lot of BB stores have added a Magnolia Audio/Video section to their stores. The only problem....while you can get RF-82, 62, and 52 mains there, you can only get RC 52, RS 42 and RW-10d as add ons. I ended up with RF-82, RC 52, RS 42 and RW 10d. At first, I was disappointed with the overall sound and thought I wanted a different sub and center. I went to a local dealer selling Klipsch and didn't see a lot of difference (it was there but not like night and day) after playing with all the options. Played with my system for a month. Once I got it dialed in....I am totally thrilled. What really made this system sing was Cross over at 45 on the sub, set all speakers to LARGE, and Bi-wired the 82s to A/B on receiver output for mains. I may have bought the system from the local Klipsch dealer but he would only go 15% off and did not have a same as cash finance plan. I didn't need the financing but...If I can get 20% off and 24 months no interest (which I got at BB/Magnolia), then I'm going to take it.

Guest srobak Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Chicagoland BBs are selling RFs now too - have been for at least 6 mos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
