Porschetech1 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Hello everyone I'm new to the forum. I've decided to take a different route with my setup. I've heard a lot of good and bad about klipsch but I've always been curious about their best bang for the buck sound and quality. My previous setups were the paradigm studio 100's and matching cc690 centre. I recently just sold my monitor audio golds which were also amazing too. The studio 100's were impressive and the monitor audio gold centre was very detailed. I've kinda narrowed my next venture down to the older klipsch speakers. So I'm in the market for a pair of RF-5's and matching RC-7 in the black finish. If there's any avail please let me know. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CECAA850 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Porschetech1, you've selected a really nice front 3. I ran that exact setup for a while and LOVED it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an IB subwoofer in my living room. Basically it's four 18" subwoofer drivers mounted in a wall. There was a guy that was considering building an IB and wanted to hear what one sounded like. He came over and I played a demo for him. The first thing he said after the demo was "what kind of center channel is that?" You're going to love it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CECAA850 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Definitely hold out for the RC-7. It's in a different class altogether. The 25 is way too small and the 3 isn't near as good of a match to the RF-5's as the 7 is. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjptkd Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Great choice in speakers! I personally prefer the RF-5's over either of the RF-7's myself and the RC-7 is arguably one of the very best center speaker ever made by Klipsch. Also the RF-5 / RC-7 combo were built for each other and make a seamless front stage, I think you'll be very happy with that set up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
