thecutter Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I recently changed my set-up. I had an old Kenwood setup with pre-amp, amp and Kenwood speakers. My recent set up is an Onkyo 705, RF-63's, RC64 RS62. I got a RT-12d but have not set it up yet. The RF-s were set up with the Onkyo. They sounded lifeless. I got an Emotiva XPA5 amp. This improved the sound but hey still sound bright. The midrange is good. Highs are a tad pronounced. Lows are flat.I plan to set up the Sub. This may help. The speakers are 6 to 7 feet apart. Any suggestions? My old set-up sounded better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoudnClear Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 The speakers need to be further apart if you can. More like 12 ft with you seated 10-12 ft out from the fronts. What do you mean by "lows are flat"? lacking? My 63s most redeeming quality is the full bass. The speakers need to be at least a foot out from the rear wall and prefereably 18". Those ports need to breath freely. What are your room dimensions and what is your source player and material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecutter Posted September 7, 2008 Author Share Posted September 7, 2008 My Onkyo has a bi-amp option. Will I see any benefit bi-ampiong the RF-63'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willland Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I too own a pair of RF-63's powered by an Onkyo TX-SR705. My room is 16x30 with my seating position @ 12 feet from the TV wall. I have them in the corners toed-in about 30 degrees and 10 inches from the corners. Being a large volume room(appr. 5000 cubic feet), I have them close to the wall to offer more bass during 2 channel playback. I feel the Onkyo/Klipsch combo are far from lifeless. With that said, my Adcom/B&K setup really does bring out the lion in the 63's. Experiment with placement and your EQ settings before you render your verdict.

thecutter Posted September 7, 2008 Author Share Posted September 7, 2008 I spaced the Speakers further apart and about a foot from the wall. The room has alot of glass and hard surfaces. Will try some treatments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
