Scrappydue Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 In search of a third tower for a center channel. Want an LCR setup. And it's either find a pair of cherry rf-63's or sell them and go to jtr speakers they are the only others that I have heard that I can afford. So if anyone has or knows where a pair are and could help me out I would be very grateful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budman Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 i can't wait to hear the results of the blind listening tests when you find that 3rd RF-63 for center verses your RC-64 center Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K5SS Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Are you worried about the horn not being centered under your TV? The reason I ask is because I am about to order three WF-35's and I was planning on using one of then as a center channel, it would fit in my rack under the TV but I am worried about the sound with the horn way off to the left or right. Sorry to take your thread a little off track:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opusk2k9 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Likely black, but I can't tell for sure from the photo and they don't mention in the description. http://syracuse.craigslist.org/ele/3655035743.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricius Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Get a pair of RF-83 and use your current 63 as double center Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted March 6, 2013 Moderators Share Posted March 6, 2013 Using dual centers isn't a good idea due to "Comb Filtering". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappydue Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 Get a pair of RF-83 and use your current 63 as double center sorry if you missed my statement of wanting LCR speakers. Not only wanting a tower. I want three identical speakers. Otherwise I would just keep my 64 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to take your thread a little off track:)if I do,find a third center it will be for my dedicated room with a false wall and an AT screen. I don't think my OCD would allow me to turn a tower on its side. Maybe of I never seen it lol. Which means it would be behind a false wall anyways. Or maybe an entertainment center with a large opening then covered it with speaker cloth or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can assure you that if you run pink noise through these you can hear a very easily distinguished tonal change. I have read it about it in a few different threads. Not sure if that is the case with the 64ii/7ii. May not be but with these it is. That and the few home theaters I have been in that I absolutely loved were LCR setups behind AT screens. In fact they were all bookshelves too. Really high end ones but still. Such a great soundstage when all three are the same and perfectly level with each other.

willland Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I can assure you that if you run pink noise through these you can hear a very easily distinguished tonal change. I have read it about it in a few different threads. Without a doubt, identical LCR's is the way to go for perfect seamless front soundstage. Dedicated room, false wall, AT screen, more so. With that said, I also have contributed to threads about the RC-64/RF-63 or RF-83 not being tonally "perfect", until now. I finally ran my NAD T175HD pre/pro's Audyssey MultEQ XT and implemented the proprietary NAD target curve, and now my front soundstage is about as tonally "perfect" as it can be without adding another RF-63. This difference was the first thing that jumped out at me during first "corrected" demo. I am more blown away than ever with my system. Just food for thought, Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorm Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 You could always create your own Center channel and new morter board from an exsisting RF-63. Might be tough to look good though since your dealing with three speakers instead of two on each side of the horn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
