Looking for my Home Theather Front Speaker, Now my HT Set is - PSB B15 (Front), Klipsch RC-62(center), Velodyn CHT 10Q(SUB) and China Brand suround Speaker with the Yamaha RX-v440.

All Sifu said - is good if the front speaker can pair with center speaker - timbre match!! is it??

I just bought the Klipsch RC-62, so now I looking for RB-61 or RB-81?? which better?? or you have better suggest within this 2 to pair with my RC-62??

PLEASE GIVE SOME SUGGESTION... Thanks..

the correct pair for rc62 is either rf62, rf63 or rf82.

My house really cant fit any floor stand speaker, that Y I have to choose bookshelf speaker.

I know U r Klipsch supporter!! so how?? Klipsch RB-81 good or not??

Klipsch RB81 is good. but it's not pocket friendly.

ah ic ic. then it's either rb61 (same driver size with ur rc62) or go for big brother rb81. sure good

But his avr might not be able to extract the full potential of RB81 unless he intends to upgrade avr soon.

Sure soon I'll change my Amp, but I think I want to change my front speaker 1st, as u said last time - my center really over perform with PSB B15

I think that should be no problem since Klipsch has a very high sensitivity DB ( >95db for both model) so don't really need a lot of power to make it sing. I learnt that the hard way

+1 Agree

Sorry bro..Can u xplain to me what is dB related to speaker power.. And how can i determine if my amp power not enough to drive my main/center speaker... FYI i'm using pioneer VSX-AX2as (170w per channel) with JBL ATX61 as main speaker and JBL S-studio ii center speaker

Speaker sensitivity is used to determine the amount of power necessary to drive or operate a speaker.

For example, a speaker with 85 dB sensitivity rating will take twice the amplifier power to reach to same volume as a speaker with 88 dB. Similarly, a speaker with a 88 dB rating will require ten times more power than a speaker with a 98 dB rating to play at the same level.

I also cant understand about dB.. so meaning highest dB will be better??

Nothing to do with the Db, it's the sensitivity of the speaker.
Go ahead with RB81 You can change avr later.

Yes!! I agree with u, I know AVR is important (HTKAKI - Thanks for ur advice), but after I test my friend new bought AVR - Pionner 1019, seriously, I dun like it - is 2 soft compare with my OLD AVR system!! may.. MAYbe I still not use to it or the AVR setting problem..

I changed my Subwoofer I can feel the different, I changed my Center I can feel the different, MY FRIEND changed his AVR I ALSO can feel it, but... not feeling upgrading!! WHY

Bro.. Wat AVR & Front Speaker u using?? Seriously... RF-62 better than RB-81??

im using peasant rf52 n ronald is using elite rf82

Floorstanders has better internal volume and lesser distortion for 2 drivers.
IIRC RF62 is slightly more expensive then RB81.
RB81 is good as well. You seem to be over-worried.
Give it a go man.

I am using Denon 4310 and XPA5 now.
Seriously speaking and as commended by bro remy, Klipsch is not power hungry and does not require a power amp to make it 'sing'.
You can change avr later after you change your fronts.

Please bro remy do pm me if u plan to upgrade.
Peasant can only afford used.

That mean floor stand have better perfomance compare with bookshelf, even RF-62 vs RB-81...

Yup.. a bit worry!! scared buy a wrong front speaker again!! PSB B15 is my 1st mistake already, but I still can use it as a Suround Speaker!!

Bro remy using RF-52 with RC-52, Bro ronald using RF-82 with RC-64, so if I buy RF-62 with RC-62, so 3 of us can 2gether open a shop to sell a full set RF & RC already... hehe opps... still miss out RF-63 & 83!!

Thanks for ur advice... let me find a place to put my RF-62..

Superyaw is using RF62 as well. You can PM him.
Remy is going to get RF63 and RF83 soon.
There are elite Palladium, THX and Icon series too.

So far no regret for getting RF62. Now i am thinking of doing some treatment for my room. Keep hearing my plaster ceiling shaking and i dont even have sub yet.....

May I know wat brand/model u using for ur center speaker?? U just started set up your HT only, is it?? Y no SUB??

Subwoofers are becoming more and more crucial to the home theater experience, is the sound you actually feel; the deep bass that shakes you up and gets you right in the gut. Anyway, this is my opinion only!!

Superyaw is using Klipsch Center RC speaker as well.
He is going to get SVS soon

Now without the sub the roof already shaking, if with sub i think my neighbour is going to bring "Gun" to shoot my head. I am thinking of Martin Logan Dynamo Sub. It got pretty good review in net but dont know where to get in KL or SG. I think i will do the treatment for my room 1st.

How high is your plaster ceiling? Put some carpets and see...
I don't have much problem with mine...only slight rattling when LFE kicks in.

Now i put the Auralex Subdude HD under the floor stand and the shaking is slightly better. All the while i am using manual EQ for movie after i run the audyssey. If i use Audyssey, everytime while the LFE come then my plaster ceiling is going to shake like crazy. It don't have any problem if i am using manual EQ now. For music i am using Audyssey flat. My plaster ceiling is about the height of 2 1/2 of my floor stand.

I suspect that the plaster ceiling joints that are making the ceiling to vibrate upon LFE kicks in. Not easy to solve this problem .

Orang kaya use subdude HD.

a'a... just the RC62 for now... waiting for arremie to start bidding on his RF52... ur RF52 want to open bid too also can..

if add 1.9k rugi lor... one of the BD comes with special/limited edition case...

u upgrading too bro?

oit that one not for sale. took me sometimes to hunt it down

Boss, only RF-83 available now (a pair on display and another is new - down south). The other model need to be ordered.

RF-83 the most expensive

RF-63 is still a viable option. Only that it takes 2 months to reach our shore.

janji puas hati.....

This baby is taking too much space. 20" deep. 50" high

yeah it's too big

No it wont .. it'll just look fine when u get your 50" ..

Yah man..

I personally like those huge ribbons of Martin Logans ..

D bigger d better..

Wait until you have a look at JBL Everest. Auditioned it today. Tested music, songs as well as movies.

Very realistic reproduction. Bass is punchy and tight. I especially like the guitar plucking in Hotel California.

Top Gun never sound so good before. The Tomcat taking off at the opening scene is so powerful that as if I am there. A pair of Everest for the front with a pair of 13-Ultras.

ronaldjoe, you should go and audition. PM me for details.

Display got cheaper price?

Think i would miss it as I need to rush back early morning tomorrow.
Hardly have time as just finish jobs on hand.
I go solaris to see see look look when it's set up.

It is scheduled to be opened by next week. It is inside Soho. The Jazz Bar is on the ground floor, with it facing the highway.

jazz bar? where?

Soho, Mont Kiara. On ground floor at the back of the building. Very cosy bar and I heard that they hired Ning Baizura as their resident singer (not sure on regular basis or there is a scheduled performance).

ning singing jazz? cant imagine that

Bro, no lah. Not only jazz. A wide spread of genre will be played. Ning will probably belting out those famous songs.
