willland Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 I have an opportunity to buy a pair of RF-63's(cherry) for a great price. I am currently using the RC-62 as center. For a non-audiofile, how would this combination work? The RC-64 is way too big(heavy) for my shelf and too steep for my wallet. I spoke with a Klipsch tech and his opinion was that unless I was an expert, I probably couldn't notice that they were not a perfect match. Can anyone else concur with that? I am very close to pulling the trigger on the towers. Thanks, Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted May 24, 2008 Moderators Share Posted May 24, 2008 My personal thought is if you can get the RF-63's at a great price, get them. Only you will be able to determine if the RC-62 sounds "right". I'm probably like you in the fact that I do not have super sensitive hearing therefore as long as the RC-62 could keep up with the RF-63's in volume and clarity, it would likely work fine for my use. If you get it and it is lacking, begin to save money each month towards the RC-64 and a new shelf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InVeNtOr Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 i agree with Youthman, get those great speakers now, and see if the center sounds good with it. good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted May 24, 2008 Author Share Posted May 24, 2008 Thanks Youthman. Great advice. If I haven't heard the RC-64 I really cannot compare the two. I think the 62 and 63's will sound just fine to me. By the way we are kind of like neighbors. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted May 24, 2008 Moderators Share Posted May 24, 2008 If I haven't heard the RC-64 I really cannot compare the two. If you do get the RC-62, just don't ever go and listen to the RC-64 and you will probably never be disappointed. [] The RC-64 is a fantastic center though. Again, if you have it for awhile and you are interested in upgrading, drop by a local Klipsch Dealer and see if they will let you bring the RC-64 home for a test drive before you buy it. Radio Active is pretty close to you (5855 WEST COLONIAL DR.ORLANDO, FL32808). They have the best Klipsch setup that I have found near me. You might have other options on the other side of Orlando to check out. You can Locate a Dealer here. By the way we are kind of like neighbors. Howdy neighbor. Since we are now neighbors, can I borrow your RF-63's to use as rear surrounds when you get them? Isn't that what neighbors are for?

LoudnClear Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 The 62 as a center with 63s is certainly passable. The 64 just goes further. You should definitely not worry about getting the 63s, they are wonderful for theater duty! Kimball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted May 25, 2008 Author Share Posted May 25, 2008 Wow. Just had the 1.5 year old cherry RF-63's($1000.00/pair) delivered to my house by the previous owner. Did I say wow? As far as I am concerned, the RC-62 sounds great with the 63's. I have only listened to some Irish acoustic guitar music so far but I can say that it seems the performance is taking place in my family room. Crisp and precise. Can't wait to put in King Kong(HD-DVD) and Saving Private Ryan(DVD) to test the setup with HT. Thanks for all the advice you "well informers" gave to me. By the way I would have bought them anyway even if the consensus was no. Now I have to take back the RB-35's before my 30 days are up(only way the wife would let me buy the 63's). Hey, wouldn't the 35's be great as rear surrounds? I had better quit while I am ahead. Thanks, Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted May 25, 2008 Moderators Share Posted May 25, 2008 That's great Bill. Thx for sharing. Let us know how HT sounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
