Go the RF-63's for sure. They're significantly better than the RF-82, particularly the build quality. The 63's are certainly next on my agenda (I currently have the RF-35's).

I agree with everyone else who agrees. Get the bigest, baddest fronts you can almost afford. You won't regret it. I wish I would have.

You are asking the wrong group. We'll help you spend all your money. :)

He's right. The general rule is, if you can easily afford the speakers, they're not big enough.
I like the way you think, I agree !

Hey etc6849----

Guess you got an even better deal then I did at Ultimate--you're right about the 83's but for the money.........unfortunately Ultimate did'nt have the 83's on a comparative sale nor do they ever.....wahhhh! But I am very happy with the 82's. Wish I had the room for the rc-64 but it is just too huge to put on a shelf above my screen and below is not an option.

I totally agree with Wiland, I just picked up a pair of rf-82's from Ultimate Electronics on sale for $700/pr new sealed and full Klipsch warranty (authorized dealer). I feel like I got the deal of the decade. They are replacing a pair of KG-5.5's but these can now go in the living room. The 82's are flanking a Mitsubishi diamond series 73835 73" DLP. I am using an rc'62 for center and a pair of KSF-S5's for surround. I have an HSU VTF2-MKIII sub and am really enjoying myself these days. The 82's are truly remarkable----clear, clean, dynamic, LOUD! when you want them to be. All hail Klipsch!!

I own the RF-83's and use the RF-82's as rear speakers. The tweeters on the RF-83's are better than the 82's in terms of clarity. You can hear the difference if they are both side by side. However, the RF-82's are great speakers for the price. I got them half off for $299 each at ultimate electronics during their thanksgiving sale.

The 82's build quality compared to the 83's is not as good and the 82's are made in China versus Arkansas for the 83's, but the 82 is a very solid speaker for $299/each that beats anything best buy normally carries.

The 83's I have were also demos and I bought them for half off MSRP at the time (I'm thinking this was $700/each and they were from a local Chicago area dealer). There was a ding on one of the corners, but it was on the back and isn't very noticeable at all. I definitely love the RF-83's over anything I've heard in the price category and they easily compare with much more expensive speakers I've heard.

I'd get the 63's now and worry about the surrounds later. Deals alway pop up and the surrounds aren't nearly as important as your fronts.

OK new question and im sure yall will think it is stupid but a retailer in the metroplex is going out of business. He has the rf82's for 600.00 and the rf63's for 1100.00. Now my question is do I do the big upgrade now and get the 63's or go with the 82's and get the rs 52's which he has for400.00. I I can only do one or the other. I didn't really get to crank the 63's so I might not know what their fullest potential is, but with my virgin audio thought process ( Is the 63's worth twice the price of the 82's). Should I just get the 63's now and hope that another deal comes later to pick up the rs52's. Thanks for any help
