t-man Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 What's better 1. Front RB-75s with RC-7center -0R- 2. Front RB-75s with RB-75 center laying on it's side (no room for vertical) How bad would the RB-75 be if it was on it's side under a HUGE 60-80" screen?

Moderators Youthman Posted January 21, 2010 Moderators Share Posted January 21, 2010 Many people have recommended the perfect setup being all three front speakers being identical. The RC-7 has totally different drivers than the RB-75's do so if you went with the RC-7, the front soundstage would not be timbre matched. If it were me and I had to choose between option 1 and 2, I would go with option 2 and get three RB-75's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-man Posted January 21, 2010 Author Share Posted January 21, 2010 Thatnks Youthman, but I changed the options so your reply likely won't make sense to new readers..... I have an option to buy 3 RB75s for about 1000 or a pair of RB75s and an RC7 for 1150. Seems like current market value, so no major good buy, just fair??

Now I use three RF-7's upfront and it is fuller/smoother (not that it was bad with the RC-7). Youthman - I was under the impression the RC-7 was a match for the RB-75. Klipsch included the RC-7 as part of their "RB-75 Home Theater System" http://www.klipsch.com/na-en/products/rb-75-home-theater-system-overview/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted January 22, 2010 Moderators Share Posted January 22, 2010 Youthman - I was under the impression the RC-7 was a match for the RB-75. Klipsch included the RC-7 as part of their "RB-75 Home Theater System" Thx Forty. I was mistaken. I tried to look up the RB-75 system but could not find it on the new Klipsch website. With the previous website, you could simply go to the RB-75's and they would show "Related Products" and would have had the RC-7 listed there. I did look under Home Theater Systems but forgot to click on the "Product Archive" link. Thx for correcting me. I do find it interesting that the drivers in the RC-7 and the drivers in the RB-75's are different yet they are supposed to be paired up with each other. Go figure.

Arky Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 The RC-7 is the center match for the 7 series but 3 RB-75's will sound the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go figure. I'm curious about that too. Hopefully I can get my hands on some RB-75's and test them with the RC-7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted January 22, 2010 Moderators Share Posted January 22, 2010 Unfortunately, the RC-7 comes by much more frequent than RB-75's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
