Living room setup.

[jnelson88]

This is my first setup and so far IMO it sounds amazing. I went to my local movie theater after watching my fair share of test movie on this setup and it just wasn't the same.

I have a JBL sub and will post it during the day when I can better light.
Receiver: Yamaha RX-V663
L and R: Klipsch RB-81
Cnter: Klipsch RC-61
Surrounds: Quintet 3 Surrounds
Sub: JBL P10SW
Next Project Re-Wire. My next setup will be completely dedicated. So wiring isn't that important to me right now.

that looks pretty sweet . how well do the klipsch sound?

 

[fast1]

looks pretty neat! hoping to see that photo soon

 

[jnelson88]

In my Opinion they sound oustanding. They have a crisp clear sound to them which is what I love about them.

hmmm......maybe i should look into a set of those myself. i just bought another lcd tv (samsung 40b550). looks like i'll be making HT setup number 2 now

 

[jnelson88]

I hear you, I lucked out on my RB-81s bought them on ebay used for $400 and when I got them one of the woofers had came apart literally. Still just called kilpsch and they overnighted me one and once I got it audio heaven. They dont covor them on their warrentee unless you buy from and authorised retailer but their parts aren't that bad to buy.

Looks really good man.. Klipsch makes some nice HT stuff... Glad you like it... Those 81's are beefy bookshelves man.. they'll get it done.. Nice setup...

 

[jnelson88]

thanks. Ya they weight over 30 pds a peice. It kinda made finding some speaker a little bit of a challenge.

dimensions wise i just looked up the rb-51 which would fit perfectly on the new tv stand. as would the rc-52. i think that might be a half decent front setup. i've blown way too much on my 1st system. i wouldn't mind trying to locate a paradigm cc690v4 for my centre. they are as rare as rocking horse sh1t now

 

[jnelson88]

ive heard good things about the 51s I havnt heard the personally if they sound anything like the 81s your good to go. What kind size room are you going to put them in?

i don't own any klipsch's......all my stuff is paradigm reference and thats all in the HT/family room. i just bought a 40" lcd to replace an older 26" tube. i had some old gear laying around, so i just rigged up something on a temp basis. a 10 yr kef Q centre and a pair of jbl bookshelves that are @ 6 yrs old mated to an awful jbl sub. so i might look into the klipsch route and i'm sure the missus will love the crispness of those speakers.

my paradigms are still big daddy though

Ya i have mine cut down below half way, my plan is to go with a better sub once i build my room.

yeah i hear ya......i'm unsure what to do with hers. either give her my paradigm ps1200 and upgrade myself to a seismic 10, or eventually buy her all matching klipsch equipment. i dunno how well klipsch subs sound

Well ive heard mixed on the subs, honestly after hearing their Sub 10 and how pretty much boomy it was im thinking about another brand but I plain to go later this week to a store that sells the ref line and listen and Ill let you know what I think.

Nice set-up! I like the painting behind the TV - is it really partially hidden behind it?

 

[jwenthold99]

I like the setup, and the klipsch reference series just look nice! I have a Reference setup as well, and I agree with the amazing for movies assessment.

ya when we recently moved the living room around to put in the bigger speakers and to give a better sound stage, its actually going to be moved to the dining room.

Wow. A string of new Klipsch systems on the forum. Nice and clean setup. Well done and it goes without saying, nice speakers!!!!
