dimanata2007 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Hi everyone. I’m new to forum and Klipsch product too. My set up: front F-3,center pair of RS-25,Surround SS-1. I’m using it mostly as home theatre, mostly action movies, but never go over 25-30% of my receiver (Pioneer VSX-919) power. I know my system is far away from perfect set up, but it’s just beginning. I’m looking to replace RS-25 (using pair of these as center) with pair of S-1.Will I get better sound, or not? I think they not powerful enough to keep up with F-3,but because F-3 and S-1 from same line, they will match F-3 and give me better sound. Thanks for advice.

Bill H. Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Here is what klipsch recommends. F-3 Floorstanders C-2 Center S-2 Surrounds Sub-12 Subwoofer (each sold separately) You can use the RS 25 for Surrounds. But you should try to find the C 2 center to match (voice wise) with your F 3 speakers. Take your time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Couple suggestions to piggy-back the previous post: 1) Don't use two center speakers 2) Don't use speakers intended as side or rear surrounds as center speakers Move your RS-25s to where your SS-1s are, sell your SS-1s and buy a Synergy C2 or C3 for center. Your ears will thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimanata2007 Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 Can you tell me please, why I shoudn't use two speakers for center? I borowed brothers C-2 for couple days,by my opinion two RS-25 for center sound better, wider,more crisp. Maybe I'm deff? I also tryed pair of S-1, I had to increse center channel level to +2, but othewise sound is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Traveler Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 ...I borowed brothers C-2 for couple days,by my opinion two RS-25 for center sound better, wider,more crisp. Maybe I'm deff? You want the sound coming from your center to be direct and discrete and in NO WAY would want to use 2 RS-25s WDST speakers that diffuse the sound. That being said, you also wouldn't want two center channels of any kind because of sonic lobing issues and again would defeat the purpose of having a discrete source for center channel material. Btw, welcome to the forum, dimanata2007. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimanata2007 Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 Ok.Can I use one S-1 for center atleast for now?Is it going to be better? I sold RS-25 yesterday,looking to buy C-2 used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 One's better than two, but as previously mentioned the wide dispersion speakers were never intended for center speaker use. It'll be ok temporarily but get your hands on a C2 or C3 as soon as you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
