JasonJCarney Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Does anyone run 3 rc 64's for their front stage? I have a 64ii now. I was thinking I wanted the rc 7ii's but then I saw someone running 3 rc 7ii's for their front stage. Made me think about running 3 rc 64ii's for L/R/C. I would lay them all horizontal as I have plenty of space to do it. Can anyone think of any drawbacks? I know The 7's are $2200 and the 64's can be had for $1800. I have 2 a5-350's coming so I don't think a loss of low end should be a problem. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 The only thing I can think of is that center speakers are designed to anchor dialogue to the screen and aren't really designed to have a more dispersion of sound that a floorstanding speaker will have. I don't know if you'll get the same soundstage as with floorstanders on the sides. That being said, I haven't heard any variation of RC-64 speaker, just speaking in generalities.

BluBitRates Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 I briefly considered this when i first got my rc-64ii. Was thinking i could move the RL to the surrounds once i wanted to go rf-7ii. I am glad i just ended up getting the rf-7ii to begin with. The rc-64ii looks tiny next to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonJCarney Posted April 6, 2011 Author Share Posted April 6, 2011 Could be a good point. However many people on this forum use floorstanders as center channels with no apparent complaints. Meaning that if the floorstanders are producing sound different from a center than shouldn't they suffer from poor movie dialogue? Hmmm I wish I could just try it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cornfedksboy Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 I am curious how this might turn out. I think this is an expensive experiment, hence the lack of folks trying it. I think it might work, with my only concern being that I have heard that coning is an issue when using two centers. Might be an issue when using three horizontal centers.

nezff Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 I would say no Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heritage_Head Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 I would say no They would probably sound pretty good but price wise it’s very close to the rf-7ii (like 300 retail). Two 7s and a 64 my guess would have a better stage and overall surround sound, and would look way better imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
