dbb Posted January 1, 2003 Share Posted January 1, 2003 Hey, Gang! I've got a question from my 7.1 IN A SQUARE ROOM post that I'm still struggling with, regarding speaker selection. Poster "bruinsrme" had a similar question in his HELP WITH 7.1 UPGRADE post, so maybe we can both be helped by answers to this... Was considering the following: RB-3 front L/R pair RC-3 center RS-3 L/R surrounds In-wall RCW-3 rear surrounds The RCW-3s are essentially an in-wall version of the RB-3 bookshelf speaker, from what I understand. Is this a good choice, or would I be better served by using the true RS-3 surrounds for the sides AND the rear? Thanks, -David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundthought Posted January 1, 2003 Share Posted January 1, 2003 Hi there. I would say to go with the RS3 for rear surrounds. IMO. unless built for and properly installed, In-wall speakers have gobs of inherent acoustical problems. Plus you have to cut holes in the walls. Yuck. With RS3s you have complete flexiblity of placement with no set obligation. It has been my experience that utilizing a 7 channel set-up requires lots of placement tweaking, in order to acheive your desired sound. Just a little food for thought. John.
