Tim_in_NC Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Hi Guys ...I haven't posted here in a while but I've been thinking of adding to one of my current setups ... Here's my thoughts ...Here's what's currently in my Main Theater Room:Klipsch RC-3 (Center), RP-5's (Main R/L), RF-3 (Rear R/L), RS-3 (RearFill R/L), and a Velodyne DLS-5000R ... all powered by an Harman KardonAVR 7300I'm considering upgrading my RC-3 to an RC-7 and then I'd like to takethe RP-5's and relocated them to another room (for those that might notknow, these consist of one 1" horn tweeter and then one 8" mid as wellas a Powered 12" woofer).To replace the RP-5's in this setup, I'd love to replace with eitherthe RF-5 or RF-7 speakers but I've been having some issues finding agood set ...I've thought of just replacing them with a new set of RF-82's ... but... If I mixed this newer Klipsch reference product with my older line,would there be any matching issues? OR ... would this RF-82 be a finematch for my current, older reference speaker setup? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted April 21, 2008 Moderators Share Posted April 21, 2008 It would be best to keep within the same series if possible to maintain timbre matching at least for the front three speakers. The rears aren't as critical. Here are a pair of RF-7's for $1100 which is a fair price for them. Usually see them for around $1200. RF-7's with the RC-7 is a sweet setup.

Guest BobG Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 RF-82's will match surprisingly well to your rears and center. they would NOT match the RP-5's or RC-7 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
