ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 ก.ย. 2018
- Today I help my son's friend begin to build his first home theater. We ended up finding a pair of Klipsch RF82 and RC62 for $400. This video serves as an encouragement that you can build a home theater on a very small budget if you are patient and shop the used market.
The RF82 / RC62 are discontinued but if you the New Version II of this series is currently available on Amazon.

I can hear the excitement in your voice. I’m really glad you are helping young people get into Audio.
Thx Darion. He really loves Klipsch too.
Hello Youthman, I’m glad you’re helping Joe find his first home theater system. Boy does this bring back memories when I purchased my first stereo system over 50 years ago.
Back in the day, we had a local Northern California stereo store called, Pacific Stereo, which sold beginner stereo equipment, to high end systems. After saving all my hard earned monies from two summer jobs, I purchased my first stereo setup, which to this day, I remember the exact day.
To see Joes excitement, brings back those special events that happen in our lifetime. Joe will always remember the day you helped him find his first set of speakers, which you could see Joes appreciation in his eyes and tone of voice when he was talking about his newly acquired speakers.
As myself, I now have my 7.1.4 Atmos system powered by my Anthem MRX 1120 receiver and KEF Q series speakers, which I’m enjoying in my retirement years.
Just think when Joe is in his 50’s or 60’s as to what type of stereo equipment will develop in the coming years. I’m sure it will be mind blowing for sure.
Keep your vids coming, which they are so informative and fun to watch.
An awesome start! Cool that you took the time to help him out!
This is fun for me. I love helping others find deals.
GREAT Video! That was so nice, the way you helped that young man out with his very first speaker purchase. It's great that you were able to help him get the most for his money. Nicely done!
Thank you kindly. He’s still rocking them today while he’s off at college.
Props to you sir! Always good to see the younger generation get into home theater!!
Yeah he’s soooo stoked!
This man is a wonderful person. I may subscribe only because of who this man is
Thanks Jonathan
And getting him swagman deal. You’re an inspiration keep getting nice young people into this game we need them.
Thanks Darion.
I boughta pair of the Klipsch Synergy f-20's for $180 aussie dollars. I know there an older budget model, but they sound so good to me. Very happy with my purchase.
Loveing that 1-1-Six tat
Great vibes YM! THANKS FOR THE VID 🙂
Glad you enjoyed it
Love videos like this! One of my favorites!
Thanks John! Appreciate the kind words.
Thank you so so much, because of this video, I will be able to get some bad boy speakers for a great price. This is going to save me hundreds!
Glad to help Peter! Lots of great gear in the used market. Most of my home theater is the result of what many refer to as Youthman Deals.
👍 it reminds me of me when I was young when I got my first set I was that excited too and I started out with three Center and front speakers I could imagine what his systems going to be like 10 years from now with the knowledge that he's getting from Youth Man lol
Yeah, it's cool thinking how far I have come since I first started when I was 12.
Lots of good deals in the used market with a little common sense and patience even on high-end items! Love buying used.
Me too! I have purchased so many good deals, the guys in the Klipsch forum coined the phrase “Youthman Deal”
Great to see young people getting into this hobby.
I agree! Trying to pass it on to the next generations
Perfect setup for a bedroom and at an excellent price. No need to break the bank, especially if you're just starting out. Patience pays off.
I agree. Sadly, he got it home and setup and found out his older Onkyo Receiver has no audio from the HDMI ports. So I found him a Pioneer SC-85 local for $200. Picking it up today.
The dreaded onkyo bad HDMI board. :-(
Yes sir. I've had experience with my previous Onkyo and a friend even had his sent into Onkyo 5 times (although Onkyo paid for shipping each time), they finally ended up giving him an upgraded Refurbished Dolby Atmos Receiver.
That's a great deal! And they rock!!
I agree
I know that's a old video, but how those RF82 compare? they are bright?
I’m 19 did a huge amount a research and I ended up getting me the Sony str-dh590 5.2 receiver and almost brand new monoprice 10565 5.1 set up for less than 300 on eBay I’m pretty excited to push them to its limit compared to my old cheap 4.2 sound bar system I had ( 2 soundbars with 2 subs used Bluetooth to control them has 1 )
That’s a nice upgrade. Congrats!
Wow I found it...lol klipsch budget speakers ..U THE MAN BRO!
Thanks
Congratulations 🍾 to Joe!!
Great video youthman. It’s all about finding that deal and being patient. I’m always building and looking to do upgrades. Currently running klipsch but I’m thinking about checking out the SVS.
Awesome. What Klipsch do you currently have and what are you considering upgrading to?
Youthman - currently running RP-260, RP-450C, the junk RF 15M for front height and rears, and RC3 in ceiling. For power I’m using Emotiva xpa3 and marantz sr6012. I’m thinking about looking at the ultras. I have a video up of my setup if you feel like taking a look. I know you have had both brands, what did you like better?
Also have a SVS SB 16 ultra for a sub. If you decide to take a look then look at the 5.1.4 video.
are these any good for a back patio?
RF 82's to start off with. Good grief, I'm damn near 70 yrs old and have the smaller brothers ( RF 62's ) with a couple of matching subs. I listen to a lot of 2 channel music without the subs, and they go plenty deep. That's a great front stage. Should last an 18 yr old many years.
Nice one. Wish I had a setup like that as an 18 year old. I was more into car audio back then tho...
Me too! I was much older when I had my first nice system (RF83 / RC64) System
Are the rf-10 for $150 a good deal?
Happy to see that you still love klipsch
I will always love Klipsch as I love the sound of the horn.
It’s funny when I get comments like “You need to branch out from Klipsch”. I have no problem reviewing other speaker brands but so far, every non-horn speaker I’ve heard is to laid back for my ears.
Hello Youthman, love the content keep it up. I have a question is there much of a difference between klipsch reference II and reference IV in quality? Comparing rc 62 centers in both generations. Any input is appreciated.
Mostly cosmetic between the RC62 and RC62 II
Another good one !!
Thanks Dustin
Joe! 11 six clique!!! Yeah boi
Dudes pumped
Very nice. I think a lot of people don't realize how much bang you can get for your buck. Sure you could spend big bucks on some RF7 speakers, huge subs, monoblock amplifiers and some ridiculous pre/pro. Or you could spend less than 1/10th that and get 85+% of the way there.
I agree. I have built most of my systems from buying quality used gear over the years. Lots of incredible Youthman Deals out there.
I had those speakers and they sound amazing the line of speakers are great.
I think he next buy it should be a good future proof receiver.
Because once you are into this you start to want more.
Yeah unfortunately Joes Onkyo Receiver doesn’t work! So now we are looking for a descent, sub $200 receiver
Youthman that’s sad. But it’s nice of you helping him and guide him building his system.
I been getting older models on accessories 4 less that it can be future proof unless with 4K and Dolby Atmos
A4L is a great place to save some money.
Hi can you please review Nakamichi shockwafe 9.2 SSE?
I have the RF 82 towers with the RC 62 center and was wondering if the RP 450C center will match the towers? Thanks
It will definitely have a different sound then your towers. Likely a bit more laid back due to the refined top end
@@Youthman Just wanted to improve the center sound a little. I have my center +4 just to stay even with the rf 82's.
Hi! Youthman I'm looking to buy a Emotiva amp 5 channels 110 watts RMS do you think is enough power for Klipsch 280 tower speaker?
Hi Otto, as with most Klipsch speakers, the RP-280Fare very sensitive at 98dB. That means it takes very little wattage to get them to hit Reference Levels. If you need more info on sensitivity, I made a video on it here - th-cam.com/video/g-GOvn6_um8/w-d-xo.html
So with the A-500 being 125 wpc, it would look like this...
1 watt = 98dB
2 watts = 101dB
4 watts = 104dB
8 watts = 107dB
16 watts = 110dB
32 watts = 113dB
64 watts = 116dB
128 watts = 119dB
It takes twice the power to gain 3dB in volume. As you can see, with less than 10 watts, you are at ear bleeding levels if you were sitting 3' from the speakers (1 watt @ 1 meter). So 125 watts is definitely sufficient to power the RP-280F speakers. Granted, not all 125 watts are the same. Every amp uses different topology, some use massive terroidal transformers etc but as far as power is concerned, it's definitely hard to bet 125 watts for $499.00.
Hope that helps. If you do end up purchasing the Emotiva A-500 and use my Amazon Affiliate Link here - amzn.to/2xoRhy4 I would be grateful.

I just got 2 rf 82s, rc 62, 2 rb-10s, rw12d all mint for 350! First dive into this rabbit hole. Any help/advice with set up would be amazing. Can't wait to eventually get atmos set up with these. Great videos and info on all your videos.
How is the rc-62? I've got mine arriving in a couple of weeks. I've heard peopel sayign it's almost identical to the modern rp-600c.
cool vid we all had to start somewhere dude nice buy
Exactly. I know I didn't start out my audio journey this nice when I was 12. LOL. I'm not even sure when I was 18 my setup was that nice.
Hi man, 4 days ago I bought a denon avr 2400h amplifier combined with the klipsh rp 160m speakers. And I do not know why when I raise the volume around 90db the loud tones of the speakers are a disturbance from the twetter, like zrr .... What does it mean? The speakers are broken? Thanks in advance.
Not sure without hearing it myself. There is something definitely wrong as 90dB isn’t extremely loud.
Thank you, for example today the speakers done that disturbance on this song : (Sarah McLachlan - In the arms of an angel) 101 -102 db , is it normal ?
I’ve never heard anything negative from my speakers during that song.
Youthman you seem like a good dad and dads friend. If only you were closer to me, you would’ve saved me some good money! Keep the vids coming! Btw, I’d be interested in videos where you review some good movies with good atmos or bass tracks
Khai Le Check out brass tax
Thanks Khai Le. I do my best and have always treated my kid’s friends as my own children.
Thx for the recommendation Chris. Also check out Spare Change as Shane does movie reviews. Not sure I’ll do much of that on this channel.
Youthman haha yeah I’m watching spare change right now lol. good sound makes the movie 10x better imo.
Totally agree.
Ooh I want
sehr gut,
danke
Planning on building a home theater with Dayton Audio speakers! Floorstanders as well as Sat-BK's for surround, Dayton's 3-Way center channel and a Polk PSW10. These'll be paired up with a $200 5.2.2 ONKYO receiver. Going to add some of their cube satellite speakers for Atmos height channels.
I'm on a pretty small budget, so would you recommend these or pass?
Honestly, the best way to stretch your money is to buy quality used gear. You can typically get much higher quality gear and speakers for the same or often less than new pricing.
I have not heard any Dayton Audio speakers.
@@Youthman Okay, I'll look into those soon! Just one more quick question-- what gauge wire would you for general speakers? Basically what you'd typically use for home theater. Thanks!
Note: you should probably have a listen to some Dayton speakers. They're really budget friendly, and for their price they sound great! (At least to my ears). I'd recommend you review their MK-402 speakers. Joe and Tell did an awesome video review of their Bluetooth counterparts.
I have been using this 14 gauge speaker wire for many years - amzn.to/2N1lSYs. It's very budget friendly and is a very nice quality.
I would highly recommend getting the Dayton Audio speakers from Parts Express, they have the best prices, buying used speakers is always a gamble not knowing how abused they are.. I recently re-did my TV parlor its a smallish to medium sized room at about 13'x14' and went with all Dayton Audio AIR series speakers, I went with the AIR T-652 towers for the mains, book shelf AIR 452's for rears, and the AIR series center speaker hooked up to a Yamaha HTR-5240 5.1 DTS receiver with optical audio inputs. You may need 12" stands for the tower speakers to get them at ear level.. but in all they sound great!! Very clean and defined sound and they get plenty loud for that sized room.. and if you can afford a extra $50 avoid the PSW10, and go with the Klipsch K-100SW for a sub if you only have room for a 10" or for the same price the Dayton SUB1200 if you have the room for a 12" I had a PSW10 with my old set up and it was just a 50 watt rumble box, rather muddy and farty sounding when pushed hard..
Total cost for my new setup was $842 about the same price for 1 SVS 12" sub :)
I have no regrets.. Fantastic Picture, nice clean tight "balanced" sound not window shattering over-powering bass, just a awesome theather like experience for on the cheap!
Hisense 60" UHD with optical output -------------- New : $384 Walmart closeout
Yamaha HTR-5240 5.1 DTS receiver -------------- Used : $89 like new condition E-BAY
Dayton Audio AIR Towers (pair) ---------------- New: $130 E-bay
Dayton Audio AIR Rear (pair) ---------------- New: $51 E-bay

Great video
Thanks
Good beginning ...
Absolutely
Hi Youthman, I'm in the market for some new front speakers (Def Tech BP9060, Klipsch RP-280fa, SVS Ultra towers or Polk RtiA9) and move my Def. Tech. bp-7006 (current front) to the rear for surround. My question to you is, since the bp-7006 are powered towers, should I stick with powered towers or go with one of the others and bi-amp them? I have a yamaha rx-a3070 (roughly 150x7) for the power. I would get a separate amp in the future if I needed one. I value your opinion and appreciate all your hard work making these awesome videos. Thanks
Hi XtremeHam, it has been many years since I've heard Def Tech speakers. They have a different sound due to their speaker arrangement. I used to own Polk speakers and ended up purchasing a small system with a pair of older Klipsch CF2, KV3 and a Velodyne F-1500. I bought the system with the intent of keeping the Velodyne and selling the Klipsch but after hearing the Klipsch, I discovered they offered SOOOO much more detailed than my Polk RT-800 speakers that I sold the Polk and never looked back.
The SVS Ultra Towers are fantastic speakers. Here is my review of them - th-cam.com/video/3AyZ6SJlfNo/w-d-xo.html
I have not heard the Klipsch Reference Premiere speakers yet. Klipsch will be sending me a 7.2.4 New Reference Premiere System sometime this month.
I tried biamping once but did not hear any difference myself.
Your Yamaha RX-A3070 is 150 with only 2 channels driven. The more speakers you add, the lower that wattage becomes per channel. I had a Yamaha RX-V1800 that claimed 140 x 7 but bench test from Sound and Vision showed it was 140 x 2, then once you add 7 speakers it was only 55 x 7. The Klipsch will be the easiest to drive since they have a higher sensitivity rating.
Let me know what you decide to go with and I can provide you with an affiliate link on Amazon or through SVS directly. It's the same cost to you, the affiliate links just provide a small commission to me for referring you.
Hope that helps,
Michael
Bedroom! Say loud
I have the RF62ii and RC62ii for our living room. They are fantastic
That’s a great setup Thomas.
yes I have had them since new and paid NEW prices. so you got the speakers for basically $1000 less than me :) Also mix in a Sunfire HRS 12 for the bass and nice Denon 3805 receiver. I did just pickup a pair of Klipsch KG 3.5 for $100 and they are fantastic (for the bedroom off a Denon DRA 825R). I love the vintage Klipsch logo and sound and these are actually built in Arkansas. I enjoy your channel so I can keep up with other Klipsch "people"!
Thanks Thomas. I have owned two pair of KG 3.2’s over the years. They sounded great in my office.
@@Youthman
I am really enjoying the Kg 3.5. Your reviews are great
Thank you Thomas
Youth man is the man
Is this a good deal for $1600? Klipsch 5.1.2 Atmos Bundle w/Receiver - Bundle Includes : (QTY:1)Pioneer VSXLX503 (QTY:2)Klipsch R-625FA (QTY:1)Klipsch R14M(Pair) (QTY:1)Klipsch R-52C (QTY:1)Klipsch R-120SW
They seem way too big for the room and are placed to close for stereo separation. I would recommend sensible smaller more articulate speakers with bigger sound at lower volumes. In the UK we have Wharfedale DX2 5.1 which are specifically built for rooms of this size and are a complete system off the bat. With an AV amp supplying 25-45 watts to each speaker they would be banging out sound compared to the Klipsch.
Repping 116! Killer.
Hi bro pretty good video I was wandering are you in Florida?
Hi Josh, yes I’m in Florida.
Maybe one day when he gets his receiver you can show us music demo?
Maybe. Audio Demos are often difficult due to copyright issues. It's hard finding good quality non-copyright content to do audio demos.
I don't know if he has the room but he should get a cheap Klipsch sub for about $120-150 just to add some low frequencies.
Next Buy will be a receiver. He found out his does not work lol
Youthman what kind of receiver is he getting I just picked up this same set up and don’t know what I should match it with I don’t want to spend over 300$ if possible
Hey Youthman. I love your channel. I've watched several of your videos. I realize you have 70k subscribers but I have one question for you. Have you ever done a side by side of the Klipsch reference IV and the Reference II. I run the II's in my home theater. I am setting up my buddy like you did for this young guy in the video. I love the II's but the earlier IV's are more common in the used market. Have you ever done a side by side of the two series? I've read that people have said they couldn't tell a difference. I suspect you'll have an opinion that will carry weight with me.
Pat from Canada :)
Hi Pat, I have owned over 50 pair of Klipsch speakers, many from the old IV series. I always enjoyed the IV series. They have a slightly brighter top end than say the RF 7 II but I believe the IV offers an incredible value on the used market. I would have no problem recommending them.
Well thank you so much Youthman. Really appreciate your responding. Best wishes sir.:)
Pat
I had to double take I thought you were Tim Cook!
What if I told you I have a solid klipsch system. I mean sounds great Rocks. But I also have a pair of old realistic speakers that are every bit as good as rp8000s. . These things are amazing. I have both. But I love the old realistic. Paid 25$.
Absolutely nothing wrong with that. Are used to run 40 year old scholars that sounded absolutely incredible. Age doesn’t matter
I think that would be nice you build a Gaming home theater environment with old speakers, that's can be lot's a fun.
I have a gaming home theater with Klipsch LaScalas from 1980. Gaming rocks on a 150” screen!
LAScala rocks, do you believe that's my friend use their la scala in their studio? Yes they use with a guitar, don't ask me why, but is awesome.
Haha nice. I think LaScalas were designed for churches, concert halls etc. Not sure Paul ever dreamed they would one day make for incredible Home Theater soeakers
Youthman, a guy wants to sell me a 5 channel klipsch setup in decent shape for $350:
Klipsch center channel RC3 ii
Pair klipsch front bookshelf RB3
Pair klipsch surrounds RS3 ii
Should i buy?
Hey Youthman, I am literally mentally drained trying to decide between the Klipsch and SVS Ultras (equal price point Klipsch)............... HELP!!!!! (Are you able to give a genuine response without damaging your relationship with the company?? lol.... Geeeesh)
His face when the phone falls hahahahaha
I heard it drop when I was filming. Cracked me up when I was editing the footage
He’s smashing the gas
Full throttle
Hey joe!
Hey!
Love hearing hit that subscribe button
Of course you do Darion. That’s the only reason you watch my videos. 😂
😱
Klipsch loves the gas
Always has
I guess Joe has been watching movies with u and ur son. As he has listened to ur movie theater sound (addicted to that sound), he will not be satisfied with his budget in the future.
Yes, Joe was a youth in my Student Ministry for many years. He and my son have been friends for quite awhile and has watched many movies at my home.
I will never forget Youthman sitting next to me during a scary movie! Which I do not recommend.
Made you jump. LOL
You are top tier gas
Haha
So, only better than TV speakers? Really? 😂
If that’s what you get out of this video, you completely missed the point
@@Youthman , contrary, I got a lot more out of it! Just pointing out the comparison to a TV speaker-driver even a sound bar could beat. Nevertheless, kudos for guiding your son into the audiophile realm, best of all you’re cementing that father son bond, many young people lack this day s as de age. Great admiration for your videos BTW.
Funny thing is this video so old I don’t remember what I said in the video lol I have to go back and watch it
The RF-82 and RC-62 is a killer setup. Definitely zero comparison between any soundbar or TV speakers. 😀
