Klipsch owner thread - Page 426

I'll PM you.

The surrounds have keyholes for wall mounting so it isnt a big deal. If you need stands I would just search online and choose a sturdy looking stand with a large top platform for the speaker to sit on. The surrounds are fairly heavy. As far as you having carpet most stands I have looked at in the past have always had carpet spikes that came with them.

Hi all,

I currently have a Quintet system that I bought a few years ago, sorry I cant remeber which year, I think they are the III, but its been at least 5 years ago I bought them. Now that I own a house, I am looking at upgrading my front l,r, & center, using the current from left and right as rear surrounds.

What in the klipsch line would be a good fit to upgrade from these?

anything would be a nice upgrade to those smaller speakers

what is your budget

Shipment one of the new setup has arrived! Now just waiting on the RF-7s!

barasn, you continue to pop in with these questions, and you get responses. Yet, you never enter into a dialogue with anyone that can help you get to resolution. I say respond to some of the input you've gotten and maybe it will lead to dialogue that can help you.

I'm going to guess the Klipsch to be better performers. Usually subs don't need to match a system, but the THX U2 system is so sweet that I'd stick to the matching subs. The rest of your system is THX U2 if I remember right?

Cool I still remember my plastic wrapped pallet dropped off in my garage too.. Wife was like , I thought you where downsizing.

Talk about Xmas.

Yeah, downsizing. More like rightsizing!

But when the RF-7s and the A5-350's show up.... time for a new room!

Congratulations. You guys make it sound like Santa at Christmas though...Fwiw, I own an embarrassing number of Klipsch speakers (along with way too many components) and every single piece I picked up at the store or chose to travel to their warehouse to pick up. The irony is that none are still in business...

The funniest thing I saw was when I purchased my RSW-15 subwoofer and the chick came out carring it on her shoulder! I thought NO WAY and sure enough when we checked the box it was the considerably lighter KSW 15.

^^ ya me too...

I have enough spare speakers for another 7.1 system. and that would be Heritage

Some of you guys with a lot of heritage speakers need to help me complete a full 5 la scala surround! I have two now and want the same sound all around me. I have spotted some in the nashville area before but the market is DRY right now. Must have something to do with the audiovox purchase....maybe.

yes rest of system thx 2 ulta i need to learn miller kreisel mx-350 subwoofer or klipsch kw-120 with amplifier which one better subwoofer

+1

my budget can very, because I can wait and save up more. I have seen some recent deals on Synergy floor stand speakers on both newegg & tigerdirect where it was buy one get one free, for ~500 dollars.

Currently thats my budget for L&R. But I'm willing to wait a little till summer if a higher line is better.

Or go with another 'bookshelf' speaker like the rb-61? Which would fit the room without much rearranging.

Imho, I would wait or check audiogon and the klipsch forum garage sale. If you are serious about home theater, then the synergy line is not for you.

Thanks, I'm looking at getting more serious in home theater, and want good/better speakers now. Trying to build them up piece by piece, and have no problems going used, or waiting for sales.

Glad to hear you dont mind buying used or b stock. You could always buy your mains and center and then surrounds, sub etc... later.

@tony123 yes my system thx 2 ultra i will add two more subwoofer next month at the end 4 kw-120 and 2 ka-1000 amplifer i will mke real difference to 2 subs to 4 ?

I originally started my Klipsch experience with a pair of 1996 KG 2.5's that were being driven by a 1978 Marantz Model 2252 Stereo receiver. I accidentally blew the horn in one of the cabinets one day, and I retired the pair of them to storeage, and later gave them away to a friend as a gift.

Eventually I got back into the Klipsch stuff after I bought a Marantz SR7500 7.1 THX receiver. I Bought a pair of RB-25's for the fronts, RC-25 for the center, RS 25's for the surrounds, and an RW-10 Subwoofer. I can honestly say that while a little one the "Bright" or "Harsh" end of the spectrum until broken in, and when driven by an American designed amp, the combination of Klipsch with Marantz is simply Magic.

I once did a demo of my old KG 2.5's and Marantz 2252 for one of my dad's friends, and we played a couple different songs for him, including "Sleepwalk" and "Hollywood Nocturne" from the Brian Setzer Orchestra's "Dirty Boogie" CD, as well as tracks from the 20th anniversary edition of The Dark Side of the Moon. Let's just say that everyone in the room had goosebumps, and the hairs on the back of their necks, and on their forearms stood on end. The sound quality was THAT good, and the soundstage was that open.

I've been able to recreate a similar soundstage with the Refference Cabinets and the newer Marantz AVR. Movie soundtracks are absolutely amazing, especially in DTS soundtracks, with the RW-10 shaking the heck out of everything in my basement with ease, and the tweeters and mids in the other speakers being able to almost tear your face off, without any distortion, and almost no colouration.

I remember when I was looking at other speakers, and I found that other brands like Paradigm that people seemed to be so hot and bothered by, sounded dull and muddy by comparison. I found the same with a lot of stuff made by Bose just couldn't keep up with the Klipsch stuff.

I think that in the future, the only upgrade I might do, is to replace the RB25's with some RB35's...so I can have a little bit more muscular cabinets for 2-channel audio like CD's and Vinyl.

I think unless they do something totally wrong, I'll likely be buying Klipsch speakers for life...

I thought this question was asked before in this thread and the answer was to use room treatments instead of more subs because 2 should handle a decent sized room. Maybe I am wrong...

Found what I think is a good deal on RF-15 speakers on ebay. Are these a good upgrade from the quintents? Or should I hold out for something with a 6" speaker.

Edit:

How much am I losing if I use bookself speakers vs a full tower (in the same size line, ie reference 62 floor vs book)? I have a feeling bookshelf will have a better WAF factor.

For example, the RF-15 floor standing on ebay, vs the rf-62 bookself speaker?

It will rock when you get it done.
What are you planing to use as a sub? EDIT: Never mind, found it. You should be fine!

Brandon... You can buy mine but you gotta pick them up... In Cali

Brandon, sometimes my mind wanders to other options....sort of the "grass is greener" syndrome. Kutlow has three of the Triple 12's for sale that I wouldn't mind trying out. I have a set of three LaScala that I would have to sell to do that. It's a long shot. I'd have to get a favorable price on both ends of the deal for me to feel okay about it. Even still, all I have to do is crank up my current system and it makes it hard to justify any change. But you and I aren't that far apart geographically.
