Figures. As soon as I thought I knew what speakers I wanted for my 7.1 theater setup, I find the PSB's. So my question is, can anyone offer a comparison between Klipsch RB-35's and PSB 2B's? They would be hooked to a Denon 3803 and this would be used almost exclusively for home theater. Room is 12 x 21, low ceilings, plenty of carpet and furniture...a good room acoustically in my opinion. My original thought was Klipsch RB35's for fronts, side surrounds and rear surrounds and a Klipsch RC35 center. Now I'm wondering what a PSB setup would sound like using 2B's for fronts and all surrounds and a 9C for center The other option is 2B's for fronts, a 9C center and PSB S10's for all 4 surrounds, but even the B stock S10's are over $400pr.
Basically, as far as price goes, it would be around $450pr for the Klipsch RB35, or I can get PSB 2B's from yawaonline's B stock for about $260pr.
I know the old saying, I need to hear them for myself. I listened to the Klipsch today at Vann's, but they don't carry PSB, so any thoughts or opinions would be appreciated. I like the Klipsch's when hooked to the Denon. How would PSB's sound with a Denon. Also, looks like PSB's are 4ohms min and 6 nominal. Would that work alright with the Denon 3803?
Thanks. If I need to supply any more info, please let me know. BTW, the sub would be HSU or SVS, not sure yet.
OPTION 1
fronts: Klipsch RB35
center: Klipsch RC35
surrounds: Klipsch RB35
rears: Klipsch RB35
OPTION 2
fronts: PSB 2B
center: PSB 9C
surrounds: PSB 2B
rears: PSB 2B
Note: This would be the preferred option if I had to pick between option 2 and 3 due to the lower cost of the 2B's compared to the S10's.
OPTION 3
fronts: PSB 2B
center: PSB 9C
surrounds: PSB 10S
rears: PSB 10S
