elitericerocket Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Looking to pick up a 2.0 setup using my Best Buy accomodation with Klipsch. I think I'm going to get a Harman Kardon 3485 since I can get one for $250ish unless people have a better suggestion. Is this receiver capable of powering the RF-62's or RF-82's? If so, is the quality difference enough to justify the price difference? I'm planning on using this setup with my 37" Sony LCD to watch movies, TV series on DVD, and occasionally listen to some music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill H. Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Kllipsch are very efficient. If your going HT Look at the HK 247 Model receiver along with the RF 82's. Get the Best speaker you can Afford. Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peshewah Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I have the 62's and they are nice. But.I really wish I would have waited and saved alittle extra cash and went with the 82's. Everyone told me to go with the 82's and I didn't listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vick's Pit Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Since you are gong with a 2.0 setup, I would go with the 82's. This will probably give you the best bass response without the sub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elitericerocket Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 I will most likely go with the RF-82's. Will the 3485 power them? I'm not going for HT so I will most likely get a stereo receiver. Since I work at Best Buy I'm trying to get my receiver from their to save money and the HK 3485 looks to be the best bet for what I can afford.

jimmy4300 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I'm planning on using this setup with my 37" Sony LCD to watch movies, TV series on DVD, and occasionally listen to some music. Why are you going stereo since you're going to watch movies? 60% of the sound track comes out of the front (center) channel. Without a center speaker, you'll be missing a bunch. At least go for a 3.0 set-up. I have a 3.0, but I just bought an RW-12d to turn it into a 3.1. (My wife refuses to clutter up the house with surround speakers). I have RF-82s and an RC-62. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
