maseline_98 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Just curious what the negatives would be? The only thing I could think is that they won't play as low as floorstandings... Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang guy Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 That's actually not a bad idea for HT if you have a sub or 2 or 4... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The History Kid Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 That'd be about the limit of it. Most prefer 3 identical floorstanders for that very reason. Placement can be odd too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthews Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I run a pair of KV-1's for watching TV. Powered by a mini Onkyo receiver with an SW8-II sub. Sounds great for what I use it for. TV programs, movies, morning radio. And it gets left on all day long for my dogs Matt ♪ ♫ ♪ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptorman Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I've never seen an AVR with 3 center speaker connections Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teaman Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I am using three RC3 II's across my front stage. Timber matched and sounding fantastic, not to mention the shiny copper cones that wonderfully accent my blue lights! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paducah Home Theater Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 (edited) You can do it but it would be best if you flipped them on their sides if possible. You don't want to run three horizontal centers. Would be best to not pick a horn that has severely limited vertical dispersion if you did that though. Several speakers from several brands can be ran horizontally or vertically. Edited April 26, 2016 by MetropolisLakeOutfitters 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt I would ever do it, but I was just curious if anybody did it with success.Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wstrickland1 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I'm telling you if you can find (3) RC 7s you would totally amazed. I have never heard RB 75's but I have to believe they would be equal to them at least. I have 3 and tried it. Totally amazing in my book.

teaman Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Yep. all three of mine are horizontal keeping with their original design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frzninvt Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Forum member m00n ran three RC-7's across the front with HK amplification and said it was stellar! If you have the means I would say go for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prerich Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I'd go vertical if I were to use three MTM type center channels. I used to run three Heresy speakers up front. Now I run 2 Cornwalls and a vertical Cornwall as a center channel. I use Yamaha's shift feature to raise the center channel higher - gives me perfect pans across the front.

derrickdj1 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 (edited) Sure you can: just look at the THX line. Even five identical speakers can work. There are some trade-offs no matter what you choose to run as a configuration. Edited April 26, 2016 by derrickdj1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJkizak Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 OK, how do you hook up three speakers on one channel? JJK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noobzilla Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 If you want to run the RC-7 in a vertical orientation, you could probably take the horns out and rotate them 90 degrees, so that they still offer good side-to-side dispersion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang guy Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 http://www.seymourav.com/centerbestpractice.asp Eli5: Laid down there is interference which causes distortion as you move side to side off-axis by even small amounts. Standing it up makes that go away to a large degree.
