purplehaze Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I currently have a quintet 5.1 system with a rd12 subwoofer. Would buying a pair of rf52's work as fronts for my system to make a 7.1 system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Yes although you'll want to upgrade your center speaker to match the RF-52s. The Quintet center will be a little overwhelmed by the RF-52s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplehaze Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 i found a rc3 or a kv1 for a relatively cheap price locally. Will those work or do i need a rc-52 for my system to sound correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshjp Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 You would need to get a RC-52.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappydue Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Yeah I'm notmsuremwhat your budget is but since you bought the older rf-52's a matching rc-52 should be very easy to find. In fact I know a guy that has one sitting around. It's my old one that he bought from me and he almost immediately Bought a rc-62 cause a local one popped up and he had 82's for his mains. I can ask how much he wants for it. Where you located? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liebherr954 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Greetings I started off with the same quintets and i bought my current RB-81's and used them with the quintet center and it worked but as someone else mentioned the center channel does get overwhelmed. I would save up for the RC-52, i owned that speaker as well and it was a huge jump in sound, everything sounded bigger (sound stage).The center channel and the subwoofer tend to be the most important speakers in a home theater. When listening to music you will notice a huge difference between the quintets and the RB-52's. Don't get me wrong your current speakers are good but the 52's will be a huge step up in sound. Plus like you said you can go from 5.1 to 7.1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
