The RF62s will definitely need a subwoofer, and if you are serious about HT gear you are going to want a subwoofer regardless of what speakers you buy. The KGs will definitely provide you with more bass overall, but I think you will...

The KG's are great speakers from what I understand, but I would still go with the RF62's. The main issue you are going to run into is that the system you posted about it piece-parted together with speakers from different lines. I would...

I would definitely get the KEFs. The prices for the Klipsch speaker sets are way too much for the performance. Just try and find a nice sub to go with them.

Honestly it all depends on your listening habits and personal tastes. I have not actually heard the KEFs, but they have a great reputation for being musical speakers. From what I understand the two brands have completely different...
