    RF35 or RF82?

    Whats the difference?  I have a gentleman selling some to me, he said he could give me a good deal on RF35s.  Im kinda leaning towards the newer RF82s honestly.

     

    any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    There honestly isn't that much viable difference.  I would go with the Newer RF82 , thus being able to get the other component's that go with that system..............JMHO

    A rookie here.  I also am looking at the 82's with the center.  (Have to wait for the sub and surrounds.)   Anyone here have any good or bad about the 82's and my debated RC-52 vs RC-62.  As far as receiver, probably can only afford something like the Yamaha 661 or 663, or 861/863 at the top end.  Any advice for an idiot would be welcome.

    Dude, I wish.  I had to sell the wife on this.  Not easy since a baby grand piano and a drum set for twin 9 year old boys just came into my future.  She just fell in love with the 82's at the store (right next to the 63's, thank God).  I've read alot of you and your brethren's posts and respect your input.  Thanks in advance.

    Nezff,

    When I wrote my eariler post I didn't realize you already had RF 62's........... that being said, I really don't think you'll achieve 200.00 more enjoyment from the 82 VS 62's.   Now if you were jumping to the RF 83 I say go for it.  Thus my comment below:   Good Luck.

    I am assuming you bought from an authorized Dealer?   Just take them back. Even with a restocking fee, it's better than waitng to see IF you can find a buyer...............Just an Idea.

    Re: RF35 or RF82?

     If you've got a decent sub, is there any need to upgrade to the 82's over the 62's?  Do the 82's do anything better than the 62's above 80Hz?

    Re: RF35 or RF82?

    yeah i was thinking the same thing.  I was really leaning towards not getting them.  I love my 62s.  Honestly when I can afford it, I would love some 63s!!!

    thanks guys for your help.

    As much as the 83's look so *** impressive, if I were to upgrade from my 62's, I'd get the 63's myself. Space savers, and wife not kill me.

    Without great frequecy response & sensitivity, what do you have left???

    Re: RF35 or RF82?

    What center would you recommend with the 82's?  Primary space 15x17 with open kitchen behind about the same space,  Have to put the center on top of the ent. center.

    Re: RF35 or RF82?

    Re: RF35 or RF82?

    The matching center for the RF82's is the RC-62.

    Re: RF35 or RF82?

    Thanks fellas.  I'm actually taking the wife to hear them today and might be buying.  Any tips on pricing off retail.  I want the retailer to make a fair gross, but I don't want to get raped either.  What do you think is fair.  I have been there a couple of times and their service is good.  Any help would be good.  Pretty novice at HT.
