JDB_Rocks Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Due to the odd shape of my living room and limited surround placement options in my apartment, I'm wanting to upgrade to a 5.1 system so I've been trying to find some nice RSX-5s (or even RSX-4s) at a reasonable price for quite a while now with no luck. I've not really been seeing them up for sale much recently and when I do they go for a price. In looking around for the RSXs I'm seeing more RCX-4s available at reasonable prices. So my thinking is that since I can more easily get 2 RCX-4s for the same or less than 2 RSX-5s or 4s would the RCX-4s work as surrounds in my setup (see below). I would love to use some RS-xx surrounds but that's just not feasible. I need the wall &/or ceiling mount capabilities, flexible positioning and lighter weight of the RSX/RCX speakers. Thanks for reading and I look forward to your input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) Thanks for reading and I look forward to your input. The RCX-4's would work fine as surrounds. I used a pair of RSX-4's as surrounds with my RF-63/RC-64 combo for over two years and they sounded fine. I eventually did upgrade to the RS-35's which do sound better but the RSX-4's held their own pretty good. The RCX-4 with the added 4 inch woofer is a little more efficient 94dB vs 90dB for the RSX-4 so it should have a bit more presence.
