    Speaker Matching ? (RF-7s, RC-64 and RF-15 rears)

    in Home Theater

    Posted

    Hello!


    I currently have 2 cherry
    rf-7s. My friend has less then a year old cherry RF-15s that are in
    perfect condition. He's going to sell these for 300 dollars and that
    seems like a really good deal to me. I was thinking of buying them and
    using them as the rears in a HT setup. My RF-7s are just running in
    stereo mode right now. I am also thinking about purchasing an RC-64
    center speaker to go with these. I have read on these forums that
    several people actually prefer the new center AND prefer the older
    RF-7s matched together. Since the RF-15s are the same generation as the
    RF-7s would these be good to use as rears... and do you all think 300
    would be a good price? These speakers are in flawless condition.



    Thanks!

    Thanks for the replies! My problem now is becuase of the design of the room we have to use RB-51s. Would these be good enough still? Would they need to be turned up a bit at the default level with the receiver? My other problem is that these are rear ported and would be hung on the wall. They are actually going to be hung on a 1in thick column that is connected to the wall. Behind the column is just air/fiberglass. Would cutting a hole in the column where the speaker port is allow enough air for the speaker? What are all of your suggestions?

    The bigger RB-61s are too wide and deep for the setup we are going to have. Thanks

    Hi, my parents are putting in a home theater and I was wondering what
    you guys would think of this setup:



    The room dimensions are about 15x19 and the room will be acoustically treated.



    Klipsch RF-82s fronts



    RF-64 center (I know the 62 matches but since the center is such an
    important speaker I thought it would be ok to step up. Let me know if
    this is too much and would drown out the fronts.. I think I remember
    earlier in the klipsch owner's thread people using this with the RF-82s
    though)



    RB-61 rears



    RS-52 sides



    HSU VTF-3-MK3 subwoofer



    My question is would the RB-61s match well enough with the RF-82s and
    RC-64? Would it be better to use four RB-61s and no RS-52? I didn't
    think of RS-52s for the rears (for 7.1) since the sound comes more out
    of the side rather then directly straight. Or would using all RS-52s be
    good? I'm trying not to use the RB-81s or RS-62s since they are huge,
    but if they would be the best to use with this setup I will try and
    make it work.


    Are the RS's bipoles, dipoles, or capable of functioning as both depending on some setting?



    Thanks!

    EDIT: I have another problem now...because of the design of the room and special columns on the walls I need to use RB-51s and/or RS-42s for the surrounds because anything else is too big. I know these aren't the ideal match but aren't surrounds the least important speaker since the least amount of sound goes to them? Could these be calibrated to have a louder default volume with the receiver? It doesn't need to be exactly perfect. What do you all think? I hope I don't need to get smaller mains and center =/

    After using the RC-64 and RF-7s for a longer time period now, do you still think they are a perfect match? I have 2 RF-7s and can not find the RC-7 cherry for sale anywhere and want to know anything I can about pairing the rf-7s with the rc-64. Thanks.
