You will hear a difference with the 82's over the 62's. The tabe is not a big deal if you are using autocalibration to setup your speakers. The pads for under the speaker placement will help with vibration.

slonX2:
I got another (problem) whit the pacing of the fronts and the surrounds.For the fronts i try to keep 6 feet distance and to palace them away from the walls but we have a small side table (that my wife will not let me move) that is blocking the lower woofer on the left speaker when I'm sitting on the couch and for the surrounds they are not at the same level is that a problem at all? Thanks!!!

Is it possible to swap the sofa and the loveseat or will the sofa encroach into the kitchen dining space too much? If that will work, you have solved the end table blockage problem.

How do you like having the RSs all the way around? Here are some speaker mounts you can look into as well so you can aim them more towards the listening area: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00009W5X2/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00. They worked perfectly with my RS-62 IIs.

Thanks ivanhurd, i give my wall mount,s to a friend they did not work whit the klipsch,s the bracket was not wide enough. I mount them right on the wall but they are heavy. yesterday was playing around trying to hide some cables and move one of the RS42s and the speaker came of whit the wall ancor. I use another tipe that opens inside the wall but don't know how long this will hold up

you need to find some studs! The holes in the mount lined up perfectly with the holes in the back of the speaker. Here is a pic of mine:

Thanks man, i try that already use a stud finder and put the first screw right into a power cable so now i got a death line( can't fix that there is a concrete wall just 1 inch from the drywall and can't instal a metal box) i ask a friend to help my whit this and we find some studs but they are to close to the back wall and on the other side can't go back we have a glass cabinet so i mount them at 90 -100 degree from me.Will try to order the stands but i,m in Canada and amazon don't ship to here the candian amazon is a joke.
