Babylon7 Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 Clinton - I haven't properly placed the RC-25 in the center yet since it just didn't sound good to me. I currently have it in place of my front right speaker (about 2' space to the back, 3' off the ground) to compare to the RB-25 on an equal ground basis. Youthman - I'll probably have to live with this for a while until my wife forgets when I bought this and then go for an upgrade... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand . Hopefully the placement will help improve it somewhat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youthman - I'll probably have to live with this for a while until my wife forgets when I bought this and then go for an upgrade... I see, it might sound better between the 2 setup properly. If you a AVR with audessy you should run that after you place all your speakers where you will be leaving them. Also be sure to run them as small reguardless of what it tries to set them at. If you do end up wanting to upgrade to a RC-35 LMK as mine will be for sale in the next few weeks as I am going with RC-7's across the front. I'm in Canada BTW.

Babylon7 Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 (edited) I did that right at the beginning, not entirely a proper set up, but when I had the receiver set to add the center speaker, the receiver seemed to pushed most of the output to the center (because the L/R became much quieter) but the center sounded even worse. Basically just setting the receiver to 2 channel sounded better than adding the center. But I will have to play around with the setup more later. Thanks for the offer on the RC-35, but at this point I'll wait and see what I can do with what I got.

nitrofan Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Rc7 walks all over the rc3. Not even close. I haven't heard any center klipsch or otherwise in the same league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClintonH Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Rc7 walks all over the rc3. Not even close. I haven't heard any center klipsch or otherwise in the same league Who said anything about a RC-3? The OP is trying to match to his RB-25's, the RC-3 would def not work . RC-7 is a supposed to be a nice center but not a match in the least for a set of RB-25's, largest he can or should pair with that to get proper timber is the RC-35.

nitrofan Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Sorry I've been drinking a lot but i thought someone had mentioned rc3 as a choice. Regardless i say get the best center you can afford and be done with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The History Kid Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I had mentioned the 3 as a tertiary option if neither an RC-35 nor 62 could be found. However, I had assumed one of the first two would be discovered and therefore the third option not necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babylon7 Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 So an update to the story... Finally I couldn't take the muffled sound anymore... playing with the receiver EQ didn't help. So I called Klipsch again and they say it might be due to a partially damaged tweeter. I called up the Canadian distributor (which happens to be in my city) and they happen to have a couple in stock but there is a no-refund policy. So I took my chances and fork over the cash and pick up the tweeter not knowing if it's really the speaker design or bad tweeter. And the moment of truth - the speaker with the new tweeter sounds so, so, so much better! Now I'm gonna see if I can get some reimbursement from the seller (won't be surprised if I don't hear back...). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I have the RC-25 in my set up and you can see the rest for my living room set up in my signature. They sound nice and I've never had any issue with it. The set up you have with the RB 25's match well and if you can get a pair of the RF-25's/35's for your front L/R mains, I'd do it, or just get a 2nd set of the RB-25's for surrounds as well. The RS-3 will also match. I was going to say it sounded like a tweeter issue as my RS-3's had the same issue with a tweeter on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
