The first real stereo I ever heard was my mom's, she bought a pair of Klipschorns with a Heresy center. When old enough I got my own Heresy's and later Heresy II's. I still own the Heresy II's (22 years), but I now own a pair of RF-63's and and an RC-52, which I like much more than...

As a retired USN LTCDR, all I ever got was a boat that could do 48 knots with a range of 240 nautical miles. Currently I own a pair of RC-52's with an RC-10 center channel, cool considering I am 7' from the tv. I also own a pair of Heresy II's I purchased back in 1985, and for some crazy...

my room is about the same size as yours...I have a pair of Heresy II's and a pair of the RF-52's with an RC-10 center channel, my listening position is about 7 - 8' away from the TV and speakers, and yea, I can get more than I need. Actually the 52 has a lower frequency response than the...

Sounds like it, this morning I just bought a pair of RB51's to go with my RF-52's and RC-52, I won't go into power or how I'm driving my receiver (spdif from computer). This Klipsch thing is like chasing the dragon, you never catch it, but you come close. My system is in a 12x8x10 room...

Today's Klipsch are way better than 5 or 10 years ago. I have owned or been around Heritage series stuff for a good portion of my life and the Reference series is a real evolution in design. In 1962, my mom, like any good Carlsbad, CA housewife had a stereo installed, MacIntosh Power and a pair of...

No way, go with the RF-83, maybe an RC-64 in addition, the center channel does add presence. As a guy who has grown up with Heritage series equipment, I see the RF series as a serious step in evolution. As an owner of both Heritage and RF series, I prefer the RF series for listening. Geez, the Cornwall...

They are both excellent choices, there is an online dealer (http://www.universallcd.com) in NY that will get you the RF-63's for $1499.99 and the RF-82's for $799 a pair, that's quite a price difference. Like all things sonic, it comes down to which you like better http://www.universallcd...

It is the "big box" stores like Best Buy that have brought Klipsch to New England, so even those of us with $$$$ to spend are wise to go to the "big box store" where there are bound to be a few young hotties to look at as well as our favorite products. Best Buy will have all the names...

This one is easy, I have the RF-52's and an RC-52, I use a Yamaha RX-V661, conveniently available at BestBuy for peanuts (relatively speaking), I drive it through a creative digital I/O module attached to an SB X-Fi audio extreme, conveniently, the I/O module lets me run a spdif cable to my receiver...

This is about the 901 - the world's most overrated speaker, but Amy Unger, I hope you take some notice of this rather long winded posting: I remember when I first moved back east to go to College, I grew up in Carlsbad, CA, where every good home, including ours had a stereo; a pair of ' 62 Khorns...
