Allright, allright... i'll pickup the 82s. Unfortunately, ive no choice in the matter for a center channel speaker right now. I'll get an RC-52. I'm sure I'll be able to hunt down a used RC-62 if i'm not happy with this one, in time. If it turns out the WF series rock the RFs in time, ya'll are gonna hear about it ... i'm not holding my breath though. Havent the WF's been out in US for a year or so already?

okay so i know im new here, and am probably pissing off some of you by now. However, bear with me please ;) Major purchases require research and opinion gathering. In doing a little reading online about the RF-82s vs the RF-83s (or 63s) it became apparent that the 83s/63s are made in USA where the 82/62 are made in China. Today, at work, i gave the demo pair of cherry RF-82's the good ole' knock test up and down the side of the cabinet. You know the one... Ive got to admit, I was not impressed

hey guys, i did not realize that i get a very good price on RF-82's here in my store, and that we have them in both black and cherry. nice... Is an RC-52 center going to be overpowered by RF-82 mains, even after running the audyssey on the new onkyo TX-SR806? EDIT: Anyone had the opportunity to hear this setup in person? with a diff amp .... EDIT#2: why do folks say the 52 wouldnt be the best? it uses the same tweeter as the RC52... from klipsch.com: High Frequency Drivers 1" (2.54cm) Titanium

are the RF-5's internet direct as well?

I'm starting to think that I should just purchase a decent AVR for now (onkyo TX-SR806), use audyssey multiEQ to calibrate my current setup, and go from there. One step at a time, eh ? Means i wont get a discount on WF's if I dont get em before i leave my job, but maybe it does mean i'll pickup something 'better' used down the road, for the same cash or less?

My store has two RF-82's for $1000 (pair) ...they are in the light oak color though, and HUGE cabinets. I like the smaller tower design of the WFs I dont know if they have any matching RF centers left though. EDIT: Ive got a large center channel boston vr-12 (8.5" high) and it's too tall... i'd prefer a lower height one, to fit directly under my TV. It's currently one shelf down, which is not ideal.

hello again klipsch community! Any opinions on bookshelves as mains? (WB-14) instead of towers (WF-35) ... ive got a nice big sub to take care of everything below 80hz, though im not sure i like the idea. Isnt there stereo (front) or even surround effects for that matter, below 80hz in todays movies? surely you're missing something with bookshelves as mains? And i dont just mean that towers 'play louder'. Bookshelves cannot reproduce stuff below 60hz-70hz accurately... surely there's

Updated my profile quickly at work. Check it out. I prefer accurate sound, definitely... even if just on principal :) I prefer to listen relatively loud, nothing uncomfortable though. Obviously dependant on the time of day being in a basement suite. I prefer new goods, though used is an option locally. My experience is limited to what i've got unfortunately. I've auditioned Boston VR3's in a proper soundroom, and have listened to some tube driven speakers at a friends years ago, but not

They may have good deals, but i doubt they can beat cost +5%. Do they carry klipsch? Or Boston? Ive got Boston A100 Series II's and a VR12 right now. Love the VR12, would love some Boston VR3's in black ash. Eeither that or the WF-35 / WC-24 setup... my dilema :/

no, but i could special order anything from klipsch... not very helpful btw :P EDIT: hey, im in victoria. Small world!!! checked out the sound room at London Drugs on yates street by chance? lol
