Audible Nectar Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 [H][H][H]"APPLAUSE"[H][H][H] For the gallery reading out there, full sized third mains as center channel are the way to go. If one is serious about home theater and wants the best results, it starts right here.....every move made should be towards the goal of a trio of mains across your front soundstage. Nice work!

Gorm Posted November 10, 2011 Author Share Posted November 10, 2011 No crosover changes. Just a regular DeanG modified crossover. (Had to grab one out of the other RF-7 tower while Dean is building this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorm Posted November 11, 2011 Author Share Posted November 11, 2011 I have an extra RF7 that if someone wanted I could sell them, it isn't in the greatest shape, but I would let it go cheap. The new motorboard itself is farily easily to make if you know your way around the woodshop. Basically used the following tools on the motorboard, table saw, drill, hand saw, router. Then used wood goop to seal it back on. (Most of the RF-7 is glued...I wans't expecting this. The front is held on by what looks like hot wood glue, I had to heat it up and then use a chisel to remove it.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuBXeRo Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 people often dont realize the power of a quality glue. I too would prefer everything to be fastened together, it adds strength but sometimes glue is just enough i suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CECAA850 Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Nice job! I wish I had the room to put one of those in my HT. I've seen that config before, but it's been a while, nice to see it resurrected again. I can't think of a better center channel in that application.[Y] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is NOT insane - it is the proper and expected enthusiast approach to doing a home theater properly. As much as 75% of your HT sound comes through the center channel, so it stands to reason that your center channel should be the most robust - just as a 2 channel listener would want those two speakers to be as robust as possible. Specially manufactured "small" center channel speakers are COMPROMISES, and should only be used when your significant other threatens you with death[]. With the advent of wall mountable flat screens, there are NO MORE EXCUSES to avoid the third main as center. If people reading think I am beating the drum for this approach and encouraging everyone here to do the same, they would be correct. Listen to me now, and believe me later[8-|] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psg Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Us old Heritage folks have beendoing that all along... no choice anyway! I'll agree that the second best improvement in my HT was switching from a Heresy II center to a La Scala (well over 100 lbs too!). It might even be a tie with the sub...

Yesfan70 Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 [Y] [Y] Very impressive.I bet that was hell getting that beast up there. I gotta agree, a matching trio is the way to go for the front end. PS: Nice WJ (I have a 2004). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
