wizzack Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Hi, new to Klipsch with a quick question. Here's my dilemma: I'm about to finally sort out my surrounds and upgrade to some Klipsch Reference to match my fronts and center. I would like to get the RS-52's, but not sure if they are the best route. My sofa has to be up against the back wall, and this is the only place I can mount them. Putting them on the side walls is not an option. On the paperwork I've seen it looks like they should be placed on the sides slightly in front of the seating area. Wish I could do that but I can't. I currently have some bookshelf speakers on tables in the corners. Would I be better off getting some Klipsch RB's and sticking to the same layout (with stands instead)? Thanks for the help!

varay0816 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I say yes to the bookshelves. sounds like you are pretty comfortable with the directed vs. dispersed sound from surrounds. besides the room setup would not give you full benefit of the surronds imho. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BobG Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Putting any surrounds over your head with the sofa up against the wall will not work. My personal preference would be to put RS-52s on the tables rather than bookshelf models. At least they'll give a bit better sense of envelopment than highly directional bookshelf models.
