How would these compare to RF-600 speakers for 90 % home audio/play station and 10 % stereo music?

Thanks for your question. The RF600 will provide significantly warmer and richer sound with a much larger and more focused soundstage, however if you can't fit a taller, floorstanding speaker, the RB600 is a wonderful sounding speaker that will provide you most of what the RF600 can do.

Hello Frank and thank you for your inquiry!The RB-600 is quite an amazing bookshelf speaker.The RF-600 is a fuller range floor standing speaker.The voicing of the two would be similar but you would definitly get more bass detail from the larger RF-600 speakers.This would be important for gaming for sure!I hope this answered your question and please feel free to reply if you need anything further.Thanks again,Scott G and the rest of the ListenUp.com sales team

That is essentilly what I have been using them for...I am not familiar with the RF model however. These have great sound.for the size and cost ...the klipch towers and larger models have more range but cost more also.

I picked them in a blind test over the RF-82. These speakers are for my den/game room and go along so well with the PL-28 II center annd the F-12 sub that I recommend them as a package, with what you save over the cost of the RF-82 II's you'll afford the PL-28 II center and the F-12 sub woofer with no problem.Good stuff at a great price.

Here is my two cents, Klipsch RF82 might has deeper bass performance due to its larger driver (dual 8") to handle the lower end, but Polk has a more even performance cross whole sound range and it handled the bass very well as well. Polk M-70 has a very similar SPEC and performance as their current running model of TSI500 which cost about $800/pair (which I am using). Polk M-70 ($400/pair) is a much better value (Cost/Performance) compare to Klipsch RF82 which cost about $1200/pair.

I have the RF82s (5.0 system) and these match beautifully, plus they look better than the newer or older models. If you have a subwoofer, the RS-62 really buys you nothing as you should be crossing over before the extra low range of the RS-62 makes a difference. Without the subwoofer, there is not much content below the low end of the RS-52 and in my setup the lows are directed to the fronts anyway. However don't skimp and get the RS-42 as the sensitivity and frequency response combination with that of the RF-82 will create some issues (crossover point and sensitivity mismatches).

Well if you like the highs, as I do, get a pair of polk rti a5 speakers. They have decent base but you will definitely want a sub mainly because the highs really shine at =&gt; 80 hz crossover. Mine are set at 100 hz. The mid and upper frequencies are crystal clear. The highs drift off into the listeners environment. Position them right and the sound stage is phenomenal. I have a virtual 9 foot wall of 2.2 (dual subs) channel sound between the speakers. What I really love about the rti a5s is you don't hear them. All that comes through the speakers are the sounds that came from the source. They are great for home theater but my priority is music. Any kind: country, classical, techno, rock, symphonic metal, ephemeral.... They have 2 6.5 inch drivers for the mid range with a 1 inch tweeter. I absolutely love them. You can listen for 10 hours straight (I have) with no fatigue. In my environment they sound best on 10 inch stands raising the drivers to seated ear level. If highs are want you want, leaving the bass to a sub, these are hard to beat in their price range. 12 gauge wire is recommended for connection to the amp/receiver.

If im using rf 82 id go with 62... I have rf 62 and rs 52 for surround... And they pair up great...

Don't really have anything to compare them to. We have them in the kitchen ceiling and they sound good. No problems with them at all.

But if you are going to use these specifically for a home desktop, I would suggest getting a Logitech z313 speaker set, for a better sound. :)

I use them for home. I replaced my mid range in a 3 way floorstanding speaker and they sound fantastic.

I think they would be good. They have a clear, well defined mid-range, not muddled like two larger 'book shelf' speakers I already had. A (small) sub woofer would be a nice contrast.

Yes they are. However, if you expect home theater quality, you will not be satisfied. I am content with the speakers.

If you want sound quality get the spr60c 'cause they divide de frecuencies, if you want loudness get the spr-60 'cause they are coaxial speakers, i run them on a clarion marine amp and they are pretty loud

Hi David. 40wpc is fine for these little guys. I bought another pair for my brother and he's driving them with one of those little all in one systems. You would be very hard pressed to find a better speaker for the money. If you can swing it, go for the bamboo! :)

As long as you have a decent sub that fits an average sized room, you'll probably like these. They compliment all types of music and are great for movies in that they're not overly bright like some other value speakers. Unless you're ready to pay considerably more, Steven. I think the PL-76's are probably a good choice and similar to my HT-75's in sound. I don't think I'd ever part with my 5.1 Acoustech system, they're that good! - Enjoy...David L.

Let's put it this way: The Sony SS-B3000 bookshelf speakers are about a 5/10 speaker (decent), for $36 apiece. The SSF-5000s are about 6.5/10 (respectable), for around $50 apiece. The SSF-6000s are about 7/10 (good) for $60 apiece. The SSF-7000s are about 7.5/10 (very good) for $85 apiece. From there, prices on speakers pretty much increase geometrically. An 8/10 will cost you about $150, an 8.5/10 $300, a 9/10 $600, a 9.5/10 about $1200. From there, it goes way into the thousands, and probably only dogs could hear the difference anyway. Can *you* hear the difference between, say, a 7.5 and a 9 speaker? Yes, mostly likely if you're under 45 and have at least a $500 amp. Is buying speakers better than the SSF-7000 the *most effective* way to spend your audio/entertainment $$$? Probably not...unless you already have a $500 amp, a 192K sound card, a $200 sub, a quad-core PC that Passmarks at over 5K, etc.

I use a Qinpu A-6000 MKII and its perfect, the sound is amazing. If you don't have the speakers already, you might want to consider a powered subwoofer too, as these really don't have any kick to them at all. I rounded out my setup with a Yamaha NS-SW210.

I'm using them as front stereo speakers with a subwoofer in my living room. I use them for stereo music and we use them when watching movies. They should be plenty loud. You'll have to find the right balance with them if you are using a center channel. Otherwise they will work fine. I have these and an 8 inch Yamaha subwoofer and it fills the room with sound during music and movies.
