Emile Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Just got a pair of RC-7's to use as L/R speakers for tv (horizontally). Learned that one woofer handles freqs below 500Hz, while the other one goes up to 1950Hz ( a 2.5 way tapered array). But ... have no clue if the low freq speaker is the left or the right one. (Haha, of course I can hook them up and then listen, but at 45 lbs each I do not feel like having to lift them multiple times as they are going into a hard to access slot.) Also; what would be better ... low freq woofers on the inside, or outside? Thanks, Emile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emile Posted May 28, 2022 Author Share Posted May 28, 2022 OK; hooked up ONE single as a right channel The <500Hz woofer is the "left" one (in the box). Will flip the next (left channel) RC-7 over so they are symmetrical. Sounds pretty good, even with the port holes stuffed Add-on: Know you guys like speakers w/o grilles, but grilles will be "on" before the wife gets home 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried propping the rear of the speakers up to get the drivers aimed at the listening position? Looks like you may have room.. would be curious to hear a review after you get some time with them they look good up there like they were meant to be congrats! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back of the RC-7's is against the wall; not enough room to put them about 2" off the back Also, they would be "very enclosed." On the left section, only have about 2" on the sides and 1/4" on top - thought it might be too "boomy." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emile Posted May 28, 2022 Author Share Posted May 28, 2022 OK; "left" one in place Sounds very good, especially with the volume "up." Not sure if it was worth $1000, but it's only money 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emile Posted May 28, 2022 Author Share Posted May 28, 2022 OK; just listened to some "rock," and Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto in D. Op.35, by Itzhak Perlman. Very nice indeed; full, well balanced and refined ... haha; $1000 well spend (OK; actually $890) ... guess my ears just had to get used to them Thanks @jjptkd for recommending this setup. And the good part is that my wife won't even notice (the speakers that is; but she won't notice the money spend either ) Jeez, she went to the Indy 500 and probably spend double (Did not go myself; been there, done that and don't like having to fight with 300,000 people ) Almost 5pm ... going to open a bottle of vino and enjoy these "new" speakers. Highly recommend this setup if you don't have room for "bigger ones," or to compliment your 2-way system with some additional AVR/TV speakers. No match for my KPT-904's with JBL HF section ... but actually, they keep up pretty good Cheers, Emile Add-on. Played Beethoven's Fifth, Presto, "Alle Menschen werden Bruder." The vocals and choir is amazing on these 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
