mbr311 Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 So here's the dilemna - ideally i would like to get the RS-10 surrounds to keep everything I have in the reference series, but I found a great deal on some used SS-1s on ebay (I am currently winning the bidding) and even found someone on here selling their S-1s for $85 shipped. With my living room being a rectangle and the inevitable placement of my surrounds I think both will do an ample job. The question is, which one is better for me given that I can get both for under $100? This is what I could find but I'm kind of a noob (seems that the S-1s have a greater range of sounds but I dunno): SS-1s frequency response, wattage and specs: 65Hz-20Hz, 100 watts continuous (400watts peak), 2-1" Aluminum dome compression drivers, 5" square Tractrix horn, 5.25" IMG cone woofer S-1s frequency response, wattage and specs: 95Hz-23Hz, 50 watts continuous (200watts peak), 2-0,75" Aluminum dome compressoin tweeters, 2x4" Tractrix horns, 4" woofer So which is the better speaker? I have heard the SS-1s in play because my buddy has a full line of Klipsch speakers, RF-62s, RW-10d, RC-35 and SS-1s for surrounds and his living room is 500 square feet bigger than mine at least and I think they sound really good that's why I don't feel bad about not getting the RS-10s even though I know they are a better surround, plus my living room is so small I don't think it's really going to matter. But between the two, if anyone can point me in the right direction I sure would be obliged. Thanks! Oh yea the other advantage on the SS-1s are that they are white so I can blend them in fairly well mouting them on the wall which is always nice. You guys have been great with the advice sorr for the noob questions! Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
