The RF83 are wonderful speakers.

I would absolutely love to have a pair .

I have 3 pairs of front L/R 

right now I would give all of them up for a pair of nice Ebony R-83

 

I was using a pair of R-28f’s for my front stage . But I recently acquired 

a pair of RP-260f and a pair

of RF-82 ii ‘s I have mixed them into my surround to see if I could place them somewhere and after much listening and comparing I moved the RF-82ii to my front main. 
The RP-260’s are such a beautiful speaker .. I just wish they were dual 8”

What about RP-280s then?

The RP260 would be a great surround speaker, almost overkill.

LOL  I Actually tried the RP-260f as surround speakers ... even tho they looked amazing  ... they didn't sound bad they just didn't compare to the RS-52ii as far as surround speakers ...when i played music they sounded awesome ...i had them posted locally but its not gonna hurt my feelings to look at them everyday ..

just curious what we come up with here ..

maybe the RF-82ii or 

I have to agree with the above dual RC-7's or RF-5's best is RF-5's with RC-7 parts very close to the much larger RF-7 performance.

as a three driver two way the RF5 has to give way to the RC7 which is a 2 1/2 way design. Even with identical identical driver components this improved crossover has the advantage over a basic multi driver two way.

RC-7's have better crossover design and larger / nicer horn drivers but RF-5's dig just a bit deeper and are a little fuller sounding in the bottom end which is why RC-7 parts in RF-5 cabinets is the way to go.

yes I agree with your suggestion with respect to a modified RF5 if a single stand alone loudspeaker is what is desired, if however a single or dual sub system is the desired goal then the RC7 on a speaker stand would be a visually smaller option, that said a pair of RF5 up on stands to place the horn at your seated ear level would be best all around option especially when combined with sub(s).
