Lodi781 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 hello all, Yep, new guy with all the stupid new guy questions coming. So bail now if you’ve seen this this show before...lol I have a 20 year old klipsch\yamaha system that I bough when I moved into my first condo. I have a set of rb3s, my center is an RC 3 and a pair of sb1 surrounds. I have a ksw-10 woofer. I just purchased a Yamaha RXv-4a receiver because the old receiver I gad ( I think it was a step above this one) couldn’t connect to my tv and xbox. My question is, are these speakers worth keeping? My room isn’t exactly HT friendly, and I feel like I’d like to make do with these until I move and can focus on a dedicated HT room. The system sat dormant for may years because it was too loud for my condo and my neighbor complained. Now that I’m in my own place, seemed like a great excuse to fire it up again...Thoughts? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreG. Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Welcome to the forum! As You can see in my sig, I have RF3s instead of your RBs, but tweeters and woofers are the same. You won't be dissapointed. Good for both, music and HT. Take a good listen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m glad you brought this up. I do really like the way they sound, so being able to keep them as rear speakers is great to hear. I have to go get a few more cords today so I’ll be able to see how all this works out. Thank you for all the replies. I’m looking forward to things I can learn here in the forums. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lodi781 Posted March 16, 2021 Author Share Posted March 16, 2021 (edited) Here’s my set up. Just finished the stand yesterday Edited March 16, 2021 by Lodi781 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Looking good and no worry's about those Reference Bookshelves. They are loud enough for most, along with your center. Yamaha is desirable...cool. Welcome! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lodi781 Posted March 17, 2021 Author Share Posted March 17, 2021 (edited) So I got it fired up, and It sounds better than I remembered it did. Definitely glad I decided against selling the components last year. I forgot how much better movies are with good sound.
