javelkjell25 Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 (edited) Hi there My current setup is: 2x RF 82 (front) 1x RP 440 C 2x RP 250 S I need to downgrade the RP 440C center speaker (it's too big), and therefore I'm looking for a three-element speaker, and swap it with my five-element speaker. The criteria: It has to be a "budget" speaker, and it should fit with the current setup, sound-wise. The lighter, the better. I also welcome suggestions for speakers that are not currently in production, as they may be available on the used market. In advance, thank you so much for your help.

willland Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 @javelkjell25, Welcome to the forum. I am guessing your RP-440C is too wide? No brainer here, RC-62. I see them pretty often on the used market. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Klipsch-Reference-Rc-62-Center-Channel-Speaker/274359189209?hash=item3fe114fed9:g:5MoAAOSw~K5etIKV You could also do an RC-62II. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Klipsch-RC-62-II/303460889560?hash=item46a7adb3d8:g:GRsAAOSwU4heLJdZ https://www.ebay.com/itm/Klipsch-Reference-RC-62-II-Center-Channel-Speaker-Black/254590638432?hash=item3b46c8d960:g:HfQAAOSwzKpetDf~ https://www.ebay.com/itm/Klipsch-RC-62-II-Center-Speaker/324160989766?epid=114175690&hash=item4b79802a46:g:pVQAAOSwQxReWH-Z https://www.ebay.com/itm/Klipsch-RC-62II-Reference-Series-Center-Channel-speaker/303543474150?epid=1600601063&hash=item46ac99d7e6:g:2uEAAOSwX~hemmdv:sc:FedExHomeDelivery!34711!US!-1 Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javelkjell25 Posted May 10, 2020 Author Share Posted May 10, 2020 (edited) Hi Thanks for the welcoming, and for your answer. I appreciate the warm welcome, and for helping out, even though it's my first post 👍 I will keep the RC-62 as a candidate. It looks looks like it has good reviews, and it's affordable. Actually, the weight of my current center is of great concern (I'm maxing out the TV-table's allowed weight), and I see that the RC-62 is in the same weight range as RP-440C. There's a couple of lighter ones in production, for example RP 400C, R-52C, but I'm afraid it might ruin the overall experience. Any helping suggestions would be greatly appreciated 🙂 Thanks Edited May 10, 2020 by javelkjell25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Keep in mind, the RC-62 is the tonally matching center speaker with the RF-82s. The RC-52 would work also. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
