big bones billy Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Hello all I'm looking for a RC - 3 to match up to my RB - 75's for a small home theater. What would be a fair price these days for a RC - 3 in decent condition? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JefDC Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 I had a RC3 with my RF3's (17y ago) and was not happy with it, sounded small and muffled compared to the RF's. I can only imagine it will be even worse next to a RB-75. The RC-7 will match but difficult to find and a lot more expensive of course. Probably the newer Centers might be a better match as wel. Sorry for the 'pain in the a**' reply. Edit: I think you posted in the wrong forum (Garage Sale). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 @big bones billy, Do you still have those mahogany RB-5s at your place in Bradenton? As far a center channel with your RB-75s, maybe look for an RC-7 or even an RC-64II would work great. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Traveler Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 I agree with willand and think an rc-7 would be ideal or possibly an Rc-64ii. The lower end models may work, but the larger HF driver in the RB-75s will be cleaner and may show the weakness of a lesser center channel. Btw, I had an rc-3 between Rf-3s a while back and thought it was a seamless soundstage but not with the larger speakers (RB-75s and rf-7s). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I still have them here in Bradenton. I think the RC - 3 should be sufficient with them, don't you? What would be a fair price? Also sorry for posting on the wrong section. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Traveler Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 RC-3 would be the center channel to have between RB-5s because they use voice-matched components. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think so as well as @Zen Traveler. 11 hours ago, big bones billy said: What would be a fair price? Maybe $100.00 to $125.00? Not the price expert hear. Maybe you and @mustangerfourlife can discuss privately. Hope it works out for you two. Bill 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverSport Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 in a smaller 3 speaker HT set up I use an RC-3 (ll) between RB-5 (ll)s and think it matches very well...I understand how many will tout the superiority of the RC-7 but I have not been able to find one at a decent price and now I just don't concern myself with looking further... Good luck with yours... Bill 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSport Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 ...because I like the combo of RB-5 lls and RC-3 II in that setting so much...in case I hadn't made that clear 🤪 Bill 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
