That's exactly what I'm trying to do is match up with the RB75's that will be my mains and/or the RS7's that will be my rear surrounds. I think the RP-450C would be an over kill for my older Onkyo TX SR701 receiver. The RC7 would be ideal, but can't find a decent one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, one that note...what center would you use with the RB75's as mains and the RS7's as rear surrounds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 Somehow I got confused about the RF-62s in another room? Unless you want RC-7 for the 75s, which would be alright, the 3s should do you. And would match the timbre of your surrounds. As for the 75s, and match, the 62 center would well suffice. Any more would be the RC-64 for a larger space. Questions...

If you can't find the RC-7, the next one would be either the RC-64II or III version. I'm not saying you couldn't get one of the smaller ones to work, but the larger compression drivers in the RB-75s is what makes them special (read cleaner) and the ones I mentioned should fit the bill...{Note: The original RC-64 isn't on that list because it was voice-matched to the warmer RF-83.} YMMV.

That's an awful big center channel for a bedroom. I was hoping to spend no more than $500 for a center channel. On that note, which center channel would you go with. Also, don't forget, I will be using my older Onkyo TX SR701 receiver to drive it that says it's 100 watts per channel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hold out for a RC-7 they were very popular and show up used all of the time just have to be a bit patient. There is a huge gap between the RC-3 & 7 not that the 3 is a "bad" speaker but it will not match well and will under perform next to the 75's. If you do go with the 3 around $150 for a nice one is what I'd expect to pay. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have a a RC3, but they are out of town till Wednesday. Sucks when you want to try and find one and there are really none out there for sale or a local sale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceptorman Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 This place always delivers. badboyspack, good luck on your search for a center, it's cool seeing people helping in your search. Most just want to help get the best speaker for your system, even if it might cost a few more dollars....upgrading after a purchase is never fun....it's always fun spending other people's money 😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badboyspack Posted June 6, 2023 Author Share Posted June 6, 2023 Well, I found this one. They got it on hold for me tomorrow to look at. What do you all think? Grab it for the price or nah...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
