Cosmic_surfer Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 I have recently been looking at speakers that I could put in my smallish living room area. I probably will do a 5.1 system and keep it simple. I am interested in getting the RSX-5 speakers (4) some center that is compatible with them, and a subwoofer. Does anyone here have any experience with the RSX-5s? I did some google searches but found only 1 pair on ebay that included a pair of RSX-4 for around $300 shipped. Seems pretty hard to find in the market today. Any recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappydue Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 as someone who has a second theater in the living room, i can assure you you can go small, but if you have a big theater, small wont last long. no matter how hard i try to talk my self into wanting to put small stuff in the living room, some reference towers always seem to make their way back in. i currently have some rsx's in silver that i was planning to put in the living room but i am about to give that idea up and sell them. well the satellites anyway. the center was given to me by a forum member so i would do the same and pass on the good karma to another forum member if i do get rid of them. god luck on your search they are getting harder to find for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic_surfer Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 (edited) Well if you are looking to get rid of them, keep me in mind. I wanted the black and gold, but really silver is just as good. Also, which rsx do you have? Edited April 26, 2014 by Cosmic_surfer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McMiRA Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 My small second theater went from quintets to now ksf 10.5 fronts and 8.5 rears with a kv3 center. Now I'm thinking of moving the 7 kg5.5s in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappydue Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I have the rcx-4 and rsx-3. If you get em from me in a week or two then I would track down some 4's or 5's for front and use the 3's for rears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic_surfer Posted April 28, 2014 Author Share Posted April 28, 2014 Well I would probably take them. I must say i don't know how i would put any rear speakers on my setup since the couch is against the wall. I can angle a few on the sides though. I picked up two rsx-4 on ebay yesterday for $68 shipped so I have already pulled the trigger. Just need to finish it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McMiRA Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 My couch is almost against the wall, maybe 8" or so off to clear my adjustable sound confuser ( vertical blinds) I originally had my quintets hanging from the ceiling. Worked well. Now I have the ksf 8.5s against the back wall facing each other on either side of the couch. I know it's not ideal but it still works. My room is wider than long due to the layout of wall openings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic_surfer Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 I was looking at some other setups and came across my current theatres little brother (rf-3) which appears to have matching rs-3 and rc-3. This may be a possibility and it shouldn't cost me near as much to get a setup going haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Blacksmith Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 For a TV room, the Synergy line are OK and are pretty inexpensive on the used market. Not top shelf but better than most anything in a big box store. I think I bought a 5.1 setup for $400 a few years ago, it could have been a little less. Since then, I have replaced the towers with Fort'e 1s and the SC1 is a pretty good match too. It is all we could ever want for a TV setup. The HT is another matter entirely in the next room.

Cosmic_surfer Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 They were black... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappydue Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Ah well I should make a decision in the next few days about getting rid of the speakers. If so are you still gonna want them if they aren't the same color? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic_surfer Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 I suppose it depends on the price, I am not super picky on the color as of right now, I need a center, and that appears to be the best of the RX series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic_surfer Posted May 1, 2014 Author Share Posted May 1, 2014 Well I got my 2 rsx-4s in yesterday. The seller packed them beautifully and they look near mint (very minor scuffing on the cases and dust covers are a little dusty). Overall I am very impressed. I had seen an rsx satellite years ago when I was first introduced to klipsch. But the memory was vague and did not do justice to the rsx. These satellites are huge in comparison to the boxed theatre sets at walmart. One of these could easily equal 2 or even 3 of those speakers. It is very sleekly designed and well thought out. Mounting them will be easy since the foot of each satellite has a cover plate that reveals screw holes for mounting. I have yet to listen to them, but for $68 shipped this pair was a steal! Now if I can just track down 4-5 other rsx speakers to surround myself in haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had seen an rsx satellite years ago when I was first introduced to klipsch. The RSX-4's really are very nice little speakers as well as all in the RSX and RVX line. Very well built. I have owned my RVX-42 LCR's and a pair of RSX-4's for about seven years and have been more than pleased. An excellent bedroom 5.1 system. I also owned two other RSX-4s and an RCX-4 but sold them to a buddy of mine a couple of years ago. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
