lupp5214 Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 I have a question about my surrounds. Right now I am running a 9.1.2 setup with RP280’s as fronts, 504 center, 2 sets of rp 160m’s as side/rear surrounds, rp 402s as rear height and 41SA’s as front height (I use them as atmos). My question is concerning the 160’s. Really love the speakers, but is it overkill using them as surrounds? I got them at a great price so don’t plan on getting rid of them but thought about possibly moving them to another room. Will I really notice a difference replacing them with smaller (cheaper) surrounds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO. 8 hours ago, lupp5214 said: thought about possibly moving them to another room. You could do that. They would make excellent computer speakers, or use them in a smaller stereo rig. 8 hours ago, lupp5214 said: Will I really notice a difference replacing them with smaller (cheaper) surrounds? I don't think I would go smaller than the RP-150Ms. Bill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WorkingEdge Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Using them as surrounds past few weeks. Big improvement from R1650’s in the wall. I guess it’s not suppose to match with my front sound stage (Forte-Heresy-Forte) but sounds really good to me. Nice full sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
