thecoffeeguy Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Hello everyone. I have a Klipsch setup at home; my center channel is a RC-10 (discontinued) and I have been thinking for awhile about upgrading my center channel. It just seems that a lot of the sound that comes from the center channel is very quiet and I have to dial up the volume to really hear it at times. Yet, when I do this, then stuff starts to explode, I have to dial it back down. So my question is, would a bigger, better center channel help me out with this? My room is pretty big. It is a combo family room/eating area/kitchen so I have a lot of room. I wasn't sure if that it would help or not, so I wanted to ask here. If a upgrade was needed, what would be a good option to go for? Maybe the RC-52? Thanks TCG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuBXeRo Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 I had an rc-10 as well and i loved it. I am constantly messing with the cvolume as i cant have it at reference volume because im in an apartment. Upgrading a center would be good since you have a larger room but it depends really, itshard to say what your exact issue could be. I like my rc-3 II way better than my rc-10 and its not overkill at all. I dont know what you would be mating your center channel to so i cant really give you a suggestion. whats the rest of your system look like and what settings have you applied as far as x-over and gains and whatnot. Are things set to small or large? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Yes it would help. Let us know what your other speakers are to be able to give a good recommendation of an upgraded center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonJCarney Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Upgrading is always good...just ask wuzzer about his upgraditis! lol But seriously I would get the best center channel you can afford (thats works with your fronts). Some of the upgrades from the 10 a quite large though so make sure you have the room for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Upgrading is always good...just ask wuzzer about his upgraditis! lol I'm on a self-imposed buying hiatus until the end of 2011. Way to strike a man while he's down! [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thecoffeeguy Posted September 13, 2010 Author Share Posted September 13, 2010 Thanks for the help. Let me give a rundown of my other stuff. I have a Denon 1910 Receiver (just got it). I have (4) CDT-5800-C speakers in my ceiling (2 front, 2 back...came with the house). Link: http://www.klipsch.com/na-en/products/cdt-5800-c-overview/ Pretty sure those are the ones I have. I have a KSW-10 subwoofer that I am borrowing, because my other subwoofer, the amp died. So I will be shopping for a sub here as well. Hope that helps. Let me know what else I can provide. Cheers, TCG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 The RC-52 is only 1dB more sensitive than your RC-10 so the RC-62 at 3dB more sensitive seems like a good choice for your problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 yeah I read that post too....sorry bud. Thanks. But, I really can't complain considering what I do have! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
