Majestictone Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Good Afternoon Y'all.... Been looking at surrounds for the past week to replace my JBL-Northridge E10 surrounds. I've looked at RS-3. RS-35II, RP-402S. Picking up a RC-62II to replace my RC-52 since the RF-5's seem to be overpowering it now. I am running 5.1 set up for the time being in a 20 x 16 viewing area... Any input would be greatly appreciated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Most any RS series would work great. RS-3 or RS-7 would be my recommendation if you can find them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybob Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 We'll see what Wuzzzer says but, no. Have had worse than that slight crease with no ear measurable difference. Would want to demo anyway. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 One of the woofers in my RS-7s has a crease like that. It's purely cosmetic. I'd go with the RS-3s if they were less expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majestictone Posted October 2, 2020 Author Share Posted October 2, 2020 I was able to secure a deal on a pair of RS-3's shipped to me for $110.00. The removed vinyl doesn't bother me, I can always spray paint them with a rhino top type paint. Thanks for all the insight and suggestions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Majestictone Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 Update: The RS3's that I purchased last arrived... Raced home, I was excited to plug them and then my joy went away.... On one the speakers, both horns did not work and on the other, one of the horns wasn't working either. I knew I should have went with my gut feeling when they were listed for $80 that it was too good to be true and they "sounded great" according to the posted ad but live and learn... Boxed those up and going to send them back for a full refund. Found another pair for just under $200 yesterday and they just arrived this morning @ my office. Anxious to get home and to test them out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
