Johnny777 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 New member here. I’ve had my Klipsch speakers for a few years now. My current setup is: Onkyo TX NR585 Center Channel - R25C Left/Right Fronts - RF-5 Left/Right Rear Surrounds - R-15M Subwoofer R-10SW The RF-5s are excellent. Very punchy with great clarity. The R25C however is disappointing. It is often hard to make out dialogue and I have it set to +12db and the left and right at -4db just to balance the levels. The rear speakers sound fair but are thin and lack the warmth of the RF-5s. I've been looking at the RC-7 and RC-62 II to replace the R25C. Does anybody know which center channel would match the RF-5s the best, in regard to equal loudness and tone? I’m also interested in replacing the R-15Ms with RS-7s. Are RS-7s the best choice or is there something better to match the RF-5s? Thanks, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 @Johnny777, Welcome to the forum. IMO, as far as dedicated horizontally oriented center speakers go, the RC-7 would be "best, RC-3 next and so on. 17 hours ago, Johnny777 said: I’m also interested in replacing the R-15Ms with RS-7s.

RB-5 bookshelf speakers would match almost perfectly but with rear ports you would have to get creative with mounting on wall.
