I dont know much about the mirage omni350B but have read good reviews for the RF82s as HT speakers and say they are bright but its subjective. Is futureshop a reliable online store to shop from? Will they ship to the US? These are the older reference IV models the new ones are RF82II.

Yes there reliable, they are bestbuys sister company here in Canada, Bestbuy bought them out a few years back. And i'm not to sure if they ship to the USA i'd assume if you called them they would just placed the order for the RF82s biggrin.gif

Jump on it! If you don't think they are worth it utilize the 30 day return policy. I just ordered them to try and the RC-62 centre for $299, so that's a pair of RF-82's and RC-62 for $900 including tax and delivery to my door.

From their site it looks like they wont ship to the states. I'll try calling them. I wanted the reference ii speakers but this is a really good deal

Checkout Vann's.com. They have sells on Klipsch as well as Newegg. The both carry Reference speakers.

"karkid" - if you are setting up a home theatre system I highly recommend you buy the matching RF-62 center channel speaker from Future Shop while it is still on sale until the end of this month. It is an excellent speaker, and a perfect match for the RF-82s. You won't find this older model (it was discontinued over two years ago) for sale new anywhere else in Canada, let alone at that price.

Future Shop definitely does not ship outside of Canada.

Newegg doesnt really carry the reference line - only have the RW-12D sub. There are no similar deals in the US for these speakers. this deal beats anything on ebay and amazon.

Definitely go with Klipsch. Their Reference line is second to none.
