Default This is what I just picked up and have total.

Alright I pretty much have everything I need now besides the front floorstanding speakers.

Tweeter was having a going out of business sale with everything at 40% off in Oak Brook, IL. I went there looking for all the Klipsch stuff I wanted and came out with a bunch of stuff. Here is my entire setup so far.

Onkyo 605 Reciever (ECost.com) 224.99
Klipsch RW-10D (Tweeter) 384.99
Klipsch RC-62 (Tweeter) 350.00
Klipsch RS-52 x2(Tweeter) 230.99EA

I have been looking into other peoples sound systems alot and decided that for the price, thus far I don't believe any of these are bad in terms of performance and price I paid. Lemme know whats up. I am also in a pending discussion to possibly purchase a pair of Klipsch RF-82's as well. So did I do good?

hope you don't intend on buying a Klipsch subwoofer? They are overpriced, and could do better for less.

I just wanted to get all Klipsch stuff and with 40% off it seemed like a good deal.

There aren't alot of opinions going around on this page anywho I got another question when I eventually get around to set this stuff up would you recommend I go with banana clips or just hook the wires directly up to it. I hear mixed things from people on what to do some say its worth it others say it isn't. I figured I might as well just use them but I would like to hear others opinions.

I love my sub's from Klipsch. I have the sub-12 and I have heard good things about it and when I heard it at bestbuy I bought 2 of them.

I still haven't got a good answer on weather I did good or not lol. I have just been a fan of what I have seen and heard feedback wise. But judging by pricewise of what I see on other sites and as well as ebay for getting all these speakers new I landed a pretty good deal.

If you're happy with the gear, and happy with what you spent, that's all that matters......

As far as Banana plugs go..... I use them for convenience purposes, but don't expect a noticeable (let alone measurable) increase in audio-quality.

I am actually getting a set of 20 spade plugs from a guy who I work with who bought the nice belkin ones from radioshack. Not that brand matters but he couldn't use them with his pioneer elite system and he wasn't going to use them so I am acquiring them. I guess its about the same difference than the banana plugs, I just want the ease of moving these things and dont feel safe with just open wires on all this new stuff. Thats just IMO. But I am happy thus far but my credit card isn't hahaha.

This.

+1.

Whatever.


Seriously, if you like the speakers and what you spent, why do you need other's approval? They're Klipsch. They're good speakers. Personally I might question how much you spent, but if they were what you wanted then that's all that matters.

I didn't say they weren't any good...just "overpriced".
