LWhitson2 Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Alright, so I am upgrading my home audio for the first time ever. Previously I just had an RCA 5.1 System in a Box, but now I am getting the good stuff. I have been told many times that Klipsch is the best so I have started buying some of their stuff. Right now, here is how my set-up is. Center Channel: Klipsch RC-10 Front Channels: Klipsch RF-10 Rear Channels: RCA Surround Speakers Sub-Woofer: Sony SA-W3000 Reciever: Yamaha Alright, now for the hard questions. I was looking at my next upgrade as being Klipsch RS-10 Surround Speakers, but I thought that maybe should buy some RS-52 or RS-62 instead. Any thoughts?

Bill H. Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Your surrounds are important, but you would be fine with the RS 10's. However I think you should get either a Sub 10 or Sub 12 to replace the Sony Sub. then get the surround speakers.............JMHO AND welcome to the Itch Club...............(cause in about 6 months the Itch will hit you to Upgrade).

iiwiiwhat Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 As another soon-to-be Klipsch owner, this "itch"/"bug" of which you all speak has me a bit jittery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LWhitson2 Posted April 25, 2008 Author Share Posted April 25, 2008 I just bought the Sony Sub about two months ago so I figure it will be good for a while. Why do you think I should replace it though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be afraid....be VERY AFRAID!!! Don't worry though, Klipsch has been desperately working on a cure but so far, they have only been able to offer two solutions: 1. Purchase a Palladium system 2. Cut off your ears to enduce total hearing loss Unfortunately for most of us, neither is a viable option. [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted April 25, 2008 Moderators Share Posted April 25, 2008 I just bought the Sony Sub about two months ago so I figure it will be good for a while. Why do you think I should replace it though? To be honest, IMO, Sony unfortunately doesn't make a good sub. I love Sony. My DVD player and Camcorder are Sony. They make great TV's. They make a lot of good products, but to me, they should leave receivers and speakers to someone else. If you get a chance to demo even a used Velodyne sub, I believe you will find that it absolutely smokes the Sony sub with SPL, clarity and raw power. Of course, it all depends on one's budget too. As mentioned, Harman Kardon makes fantastic receivers. I highly recommend them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LWhitson2 Posted April 25, 2008 Author Share Posted April 25, 2008 Ok, I was just looking at Vanns website and they have the SS-1 on sale for 199 a pair. Would they be as good as the RS-10 at 280 a pair? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill H. Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 The SS series is for the Synergy line. The RS is for the Reference line. Though they might work, overall you'd be money ahead just staying with the Reference series...............Good Luck to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
