MikeAK Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Recently moved and am looking at a bit of a space crunch.. What are some opinions on placing my RB61's mains ontop of my subs at the front stage? What I'm looking for is opinions on if there is any risk of damage to the 61's. I hope some will chime in and give their opinions. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 MikeAK, I see no issue with doing that. Actually it sounds like a cool idea. You will have instant full range tower speakers. The only issue I can forsee is that your RB-61's will be sitting a little low. Do you have a way to tilt them up a few degrees? Remember whatever you do, place something between the 61's and the subs to protect the finishes and help eliminate vibrations. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My PB12's are about 20 inches or so high and if I place the 61's ontop the tweeters would be about 3feet off the ground. When I'm sitting thats just about perfect. As far as placing somthing inbetween, would a simple cloth work or should I be looking at something a little thicker/solid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought about the height after the post. 36 inches at seating position is probably dead on. As far as putting something between the 61's and your subs, try to get eight of those little black sticky half moon feet that come with the reference center channel speakers and stick them on the bottom of each speaker near the corners. They work great to protect and help with vibration control. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
