streyle Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Currently Have an RF-7 II System where I'm using RB-51 as my rear speakers. Thinking of upgrading to 7.1 system. What does everyone think of RS-42 vs. RS-52? In a 7.1 setup, sould I use the RB-51 as the side and whichever RS I choose as the rear?

Scrappydue Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 You would Most likely enjoy the rs-series on the side and your direct radiating speakers in the rear. That is how most run it. The matching ones for the rf-7ii set would be the rs-62ii. Not sure how big your room is but I wouldn't do the rs-42ii's just because you have the biggest front setup. As for the 52ii's they will probably be just fine and fulfill your needs. However if you ever get that what If feeling, the rs-62ii are the answer to that. Youth man has wrote a great review between his rs-52's and the rs-62's he upgraded to and he is extremely happy he did. So I would go with the rs-62's. you'll be happier in the end.

Scrappydue Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Oh and make sure you buy them at the right price. Like from someone like panacea engineering. He is a member on this forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streyle Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 Thanks for the advice....I'll take a look at the RS-52 to RS-62 reviews. I've asked for pricing from the member you suggested. I'll cross of the RS-42 and consider RS-52 or RS-62 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted January 24, 2013 Moderators Share Posted January 24, 2013 Scrappy is right on. I would not recommend the RS-42's for your setup. I used the RS-52's for awhile with my RF-83 setup and they worked great. The RS-62's were definitely an upgrade to the RS-52's, just not night and day. If you go with the RS-62's, you'll never have the upgrade bug for your surrounds. W.C. with Panacea is a great guy to work with.

ivanhurd Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 as said above, you will most likely prefer the RSs on the side. It's always worth a shot listening both ways to see what you prefer yourself tho. You can read about mine in my review link in my sig.

Moderators Youthman Posted January 27, 2013 Moderators Share Posted January 27, 2013 sould I use the RB-51 as the side and whichever RS I choose as the rear? I would suggest the other way around. RS for side surrounds and your RB-51's for surround back. THX recommends it that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
