Unanswered 7.1 Speaker Selection Question

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

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.
