Klipsch RC-52 II vs Klipsch RC-62 II

[mmarsh]

Hello Fellow Audioholics, I need a tip...

I Recent purchased the first 3 audio pieces of my new Cinema, that being

2x Klipsch RF-62 II and a Denon AVR 2113. I also have a Samsung UE55D8000 and added a Logitech Harmony Touch to control everything.

Very please so far, but the goal is a 5.1 system. The surrounds will go last as I need to have a think about how to cable the room (its an odd shaped room)

So next up is the center speaker, and here I have encountered a problem.

My first choice was the RC-62 II, but after doing the measurements it will not fit into my cabinet. Its small brother, the RC-52 II does fit. (Its a difference of about 7 cm lengthwise that's posing the problem).

I want to know how much of a sacrifice it would be to take the RC-52? I know the RC-62 is the correct speaker to be matched with my Left+Right Channel will the difference be noticeable?

The only way I could get the RC-62 to work is if I mounted the TV on the wall, and put the center on top of the cabinet. This is a nuisance and I like where the TV is now, but if the center channel sound is really going suffer under the RC-52 II I may have to consider it.

Your thoughts?

There is only a 10Hz difference between the two in the lower midrange (57Hz vs 67Hz) and a slight bump in sensitivity for the 62. While it would ultimately be better to have the 62, I think the 52 will work fine. When crossed over with a 80Hz x-over, I don't think you'll notice the difference.
