    First time speaker buyer not sure sales rep sold me the right klipsch system

    I have that receiver, 2 - rf 82 II, 1 RC 62 II, and 2 rs-42 II. I haven't connected the surrounds, yet, but I've had the fronts and center connected for about six weeks and I'm very happy with the setup. I'm sure they aren't the best speakers available, but I'm satisfied with them and...

    Speaker opinions!

    Those surrounds can be wall mounted, if you prefer.

    Home theater receiver vs multi-room receiver

    The consensus I have read is that it's a good idea to match the brand and series for fronts and center. If you can match the surrounds, also, that helps, but not as important as the front three. Subs don't matter for matching. I recently bought Klipsch speakers for my front three and...

    Power question

    Thanks everyone! :) I had used some calculators online but much of this is new to me. This is the first time I've had good speakers and so I've never paid much attention to specs in the past. I didn't want to blow the speakers through a mistake.

    Power question

    In all seriousness, what is reasonable? I do like loud, but mostly for music and I probably won't be using the surrounds when listening to music. The surrounds will be for movies and I probably won't have the volume at max at those times. Thanks everyone for your replies!

    Power question

    My receiver is a Pioneer SC-1222-K. It claims to be able to put out 115W per channel. I bought a pair of Klipsch RS-42 II surrounds. Those speakers are rated a max of 75W. Do I need to return them and get the RS-52 II or RS-62 II to handle more power or will these be fine in a surround...

    Pioneer Andrew Jones SP-PK52FS review

    I agree that it's relative to price. It wouldn't surprise me to learn that they were not setup well in that Best Buy. However, I didn't buy anything there, so their loss. Mainly my point was that this thread gave me the impression that the new Pioneers were something amazing and drastically...

    RF-7 II or RF-62 II

    If you have a Frys Electronics near you, the Klipsch RF line is on sale at 20% off right now (at least in Phoenix). It's not advertised. I found out when I went in on Sunday to listen. Checked the prices and they were indeed 20% lower than elsewhere. I don't know if they carry the RF-7 II...

    Pioneer Andrew Jones SP-PK52FS review

    Best Buy. To me, they were quiet, subdued, and had no bass.

    Pioneer Andrew Jones SP-PK52FS review

    I heard the FS52s over the weekend. Perhaps I had a bad setup, but I did not hear what people are raving about. They sounded like cheap tower speakers to me. Obviously everyone has different tastes but I thought they were nothing special.

    Pioneer Andrew Jones SP-PK52FS review

    Thanks, I appreciate the input! The loud might be what I want. Most of the music I listen to is either rock and roll or metal. My current HTiB leads to listening fatigue when I turn them up louder. I like to listen loud and feel the music. I am planning to add a sub as well.

    Pioneer Andrew Jones SP-PK52FS review

    I'm in the same situation. Been considering the RTi A9s for weeks and missed NewEgg's last deal on them. I recently bought the Pioneer SC-1222-K receiver and wasn't sure if I would need another amp with those speakers or not. Also considering the new Pioneers. If you do pick up the A9s, I...

    Opinions requested for new loudspeakers for music

    Thanks! Not really set on Polk; the HTiB I have is Polk and I thought it was decent for it's price, so I figured I would look there. I'll take a look at Focal. Thanks for the suggestions!

    Opinions requested for new loudspeakers for music

    Thanks! Any idea how these would compare to something like the new Pioneer FS52s ? I've been reading the other thread and am considering picking up that set. The problem is I really don't know how much of a difference there is between those price points.

    Opinions requested for new loudspeakers for music

    Bumping this thread to ask what people think of the Polk Audio RTi 12 speakers. Fry's Electronics is clearing them out and I could get a pair in my budget this weekend. Thanks again!

    Opinions requested for new loudspeakers for music

    No, but I'm aware there is a city named Drumheller. :) It's a character name from a novel I read. Thanks everyone for the input! I'm still uncertain and will continue to read and consider options. Where does everyone go to listen to speakers? I have a Frys Electronics and Best Buy...

    Opinions requested for new loudspeakers for music

    Hello everyone! I've been reading threads hoping to learn more but I'm still very much a novice. Currently I'm using a cheap HTiB configuration. I've never put together an audio system before so most of this is new to me. I purchased the Pioneer SC-1222-K receiver. I'm looking to get...
