whell Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Now that the RF-7's are in the house and singing, I have a decision to make. Before the RF-7's arrived, I used my RF-3's for fronts and RB-5's for rears. I now have moved my RF-3's to the rear, and the RB-5's are sitting downstairs unused. I also have a pair of KG-4's, which I really like, on a small 2 channel system with a TT downstairs. I've not experimented with either of the Reference speakers on that system in place of the KG-4's, but I guess selling the KG-4's is another option. I just have more speakers than I need, and would like some thoughts on which would be best to part with. Having the RF-3's on the rears seem like a waste, but they do sound OK back there. However, RB-5's might make a good substitute for the KG-4's (haven't tried this yet), though I'd probably give up some bass. What do you all think?

whell Posted September 23, 2003 Author Share Posted September 23, 2003 By the way Craig (NOSValves), if you're still interested in acquiring an RC-3, I've decided to let go of one or the other RB-5 or RF-3, and keep the RC-3 center. I had toyed with the idea of using the RB-5's for a center channel, but one of the local Klipsch retailers talked me out of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymd Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 If you decide to sell the RF-3s, I am interested. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marksdad Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 wheel, from my auditions the rf is twice the speak as the rb, i used the rf 3 as my sats for my rf 5's and the soundstage was wonderfull, it really makes you realize just how much info is transmitted to the sats, floor standers have a wider range for movies, and if you like music, but keep all, you can never have too much klipsch, you WILL have a need for them in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 Does the wood on the RB-5's match the RF-7's? I'm personally not to keen on the plastic wrap around the RF-3. I don't know much about HT, but RF-3's on the rears sounds like overkill. You really need an RC-7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whell Posted September 24, 2003 Author Share Posted September 24, 2003 Dean: An RC-7 doesn't stand much of a chance due to WAF issues. There is just no room for it in my setup. My RF-3 and RF-7 are both black. I'm leaning toward keeping the RF-3's as rears, moving the RB-5 into th e2 channel set up to replace the KG-4's and selling the KG-4's: this based on my audition of the RF-5's in my 2 channel set up.
