  1. Small update. It seems that on their own, the 504c sounds  a bit more spacious sometimes than the RC-7 but when playing with my Mains and Subs (no other speaker) the RC-7 seems to just cut through the mix delivering better more clear dialogue or singing in the case of the Greatest showman Jenny Lind performance. Bass performance even with the 8" woofers is actually very similar and if anything the 504c seems a bit more tuned to bass in some frequencies.

    I've never heard the 64-III hard to tell from memory its been quite awhile since I've ran a center speaker the RC-7 is a fantastic speaker in my opinion dialogue from TV or movies is very clear and distinct-- lesser center speakers I've owned would be hard to make out sounds at lower volumes not the case with the RC-7. I say the 7 is a toss up between the 64-II because I think overall clarity and resolution are a tad better in the 64-II but it comes at the cost of bass response which in turn makes the speaker sound a bit smaller less "meat" to the sound. The 7 has a slightly larger and deeper sound especially in male voices / vocals, which I personally preferred over the slightly clearer sound from the 64-II but I could see how others would not based on a number of factors. 

     

    Basically bottom line if you can locate a good deal on an RC-7 I think it would be worth checking out but really you are the only one that can judge which one you prefer. Nice thing about quality Klipsch gear is that it holds its value so if it turns out you don't like it as much as the others should be simple to resell and get your money back.  

    Now I got all 3 and testing like crazy :D

     I have compared the RC-7 to the RC-64 & RC-64 II-- I thought the RC-7 bested the original 64 and was a toss up between the 64-II. The 64-II seemed to be higher resolution very clear and pronounced but had almost no bass response to speak of. The RC-7 is also very clear sounding just not quite as HD as the 64-II but the added bass response gives it a fuller more rounded sound giving more weight / tone to voices that personally I preferred over the 64-II. Hope this helps good luck!

    Sure helps!
    One thing testing the 504c and the RC64 iii is the 504c seems to have some more bass to it and the RC64 seems a bit more laidback which I dont particularly want for my Center. 
    Do you feel the RC-7 is more about the same as the 64 ii , more laidback or more forward?

    Thanks!!

  4. With my setup, a third tower wont work so will have to be a center. I was just in love with how big the RC-64 is and at least, listening to a test in youtube (and yes, hard to really judge sounds that way), whenever they switched from the 504 to the RC64 (version 3 though not 1) the soundstage felt so big. Although sometimes a bit "messy" in balance compared to the 504C. 
    Sadly the local person selling the RC-64 version 1 has RF82s not 83 (was asking $850 for all 3). So I must think which way to go.
    Thank you! :)

  5. Hi!

    So I have old AV123 speakers, the RS760 for LR and Bigfoot RSC200 for center. 
    I have been meaning to move to black speakers so they dont stand out as much in my HT room when I am watching movies with my projector.

    I was considering the Emotiva T1+ or T2+ and the C2+ center but not certain things made me go back on those.

     

    So now the ones that are at the top of my list are Klipsch. Now as this is 100% HT, the center is my main thing to get first.
    For that reason I started looking at the RC64 but is very expensive. A local was selling a version 1 of it but not sure how good or bad that version is vs version 2 and 3. 
    The other more affordable option is the RP-504C. I found a Youtube comparison but hard to judge things from a Youtube video.
    With the center, I would likely get the RP8000 speakers as they seem to be the best bang for buck.
    Anyone by any chance did a similar change from the Rockets to Klipsch? The Rockets were highly regarded specially the center so its always a concern for me to change to a new one but of course, time passes. :)

    Is the version one RC64 good vs a newer RP-504C? Will it match with the RP-8000?
    Those are some of my questions.
    Thanks!
