winchester21 Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Hi folks New here and I don't know jack about the new stuff. My 10 year old Sony surround sound receiver died so I had to start buying stuff. Been out of the product loop for about 6- 8 or so years. I bought a Sony DA4300ES and decided to go to 7.1 Bought RB81 rears and RB61 for sides. I had a b&K power amp and a HK 870 from back in the day so I am running the rears with the BK and the sides with the HK 870. I bought a Carver A753 3 channel amp from e-bay which is running the fronts and the center. The Carver is a beast and has got me looking at a new center/fronts. Also maybe a new sub. I am seriously looking at RF83s and an RC64. mabe the 12" Powered sub. My system sounds great compared to before but I can see that my older speakers may need an upgrade. Any advice or reccomendations are greatly appreciated. TIA Sony DA4300ES- new Sony BPD-S550 blue Ray-new Adcom GCD700 DC Changer-mid 90s? Rb61s- new RB 81s - new RF3s- 7 or 8 yrs old Klipsch KV 2 center- mid 90s? Definitive powerfield 15 sub 370 watts harmon Kardon 870 amp- old B&K 4420ES amp- late 90s Carver A753 3 channel amp 2001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falcon20x Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Definitly upgrade the center with the RC 64. The RF83 is a great speaker, it will be an upgrade compare to the RF 3, but don't disregard the RF 3 so quick. I still think it is one the best speaker you can get for the money. If you can I would return the RB 61 and move the RF 3 to surround duty. Regarding the sub, there are so many choices. I personnally like the RSW 12 and RSW 15 but alot of people have been very happy with SVS, epic and HSU subs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
