Taylorbaby Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 i can get the RC-3 II for 399 euro instead of the normal price 499 euro. I've seen this center and its BIG. My room is not big but a normal bedroom wich is about 7 meters length and 3 meter wide, and Is this center too big for my room along with a couple of rf-5's? If so what center is recommended? oh and... why isnt the rc-3 II not on the klipsch website? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruinsrme Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 Is the system in your bedroom? I would suggest buying the RC3, sell your current bed and pick up a small bed. Actually you might consider the RC25 or 35. With these speakers being front ported they can be mounted nearly flush to the wall where the rc3 is rear ported and needs to be way from the wall. Try to squeeze the large front in the room as possible since this is where most of your sound, from movies, will come from. good luck, scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marksdad Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 actually for the rf 5's the center is too small, this will be obvious after you get used to the 5's the 5's will make the rc 3 seem small and it is. but as far as the room is concerned, as long as you arrange the system along the long wall you will be just fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladi Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 Actually the RC-3 and RC-3II are not ported, they are sealed enclosure so they can be placed anywhere including mounted on the wall. As you can see from my signature, I have the RC-3II, RF-3II as mains, and RB-5II as surrounds. The RC-3II is a very good center, but its small woofers and sealed enclosure cannot keep up at loud levels with the RF-3II. This is most obvious while listening to multichannel SACD and DVD-A. I am myself considering upgrading to RC-7, but it is too dam* big and does not fit on the shelf under the TV However in a small room like yours, it might just do the job if you don't listen very loud.

Vladi Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 Oh, and RC-3 and RC-3II are not listed on the website because they are discontinued. You can find the specs going to product search and entering RC-3 in the search criteria. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruinsrme Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 Thank you Vladi. I am so used to looking at my RC7. I did take a look at my RC3 and said uhmmmm I thoughtit was. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zandern Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 Too big. Never. Cause some day your move out of that room and wish you had bigger. Or the upgrade bug will bite you and your be kicking yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zandern Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 You can still find the rc3II and rc3. They are under the classic reference speakers because now the new models are out and they are listed under the reference series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
