Thanks. This just settled it for me. It sounds like the RC64 center (and probably all klipsch centers) are voiced and tuned for dialog clarity at the expense of a wider natural frequency response. I suspect other home theater companies most likely do this for center speakers as well. That's quite unfortunate. I felt like 2 RC64 as mains would have been perfect for midrange and clarity and would win with just about any music. I really like the sealed box as opposed to ported because I can shove it straight against the wall. I didn't care about the 10" woofers for bass, because I had a capable 15" subwoofer anyway. Oh well, I guess I'll have to make space for the RF7 III in the future.

I've been desperately trying to find reason NOT to use the RC64 as RL mains. So far I've come across no reasonable argument against it. The only justification I hear not to do it has always been "use the RF7s because they're better". However, the RC64 seem like they'd have better midrange and better placement opportunities. The lack of rear port and their diminutive size compared to the RF7 makes it way more feasible for my setup. Does anybody here have information that would go against RF64s used as stereo mains?
