mrt Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 I am planning on adding two more speakers to my home theater for the 7.1 effect. I am currently using the 5.1 setup and I have two RB5 II (front), RC-7 (center) and two RS7 (rear), along with a Sunfire Signature subwoofer. My receiver is a Pioneer VSX-49TXI and my family room size is 14 X 28. My question either buy another pair of RB5 II or RS7 for the additional rears? Also, I could sell my two RS7 and purchase four more RB5 II, so I would have six RB5 all around? Have any of you tried any of these configurations? I am leaning towards six RB5 all around, I think that would sound sweet. Your advice is appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marksdad Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 question? with such a nice sized room, why are you going with such small speakers?, second the rc 7 is so much bigger than your front channels, what you really need is a good floor stander to match the center channel, perhaps a set of rf 7's to match, and use all other speaks as sats, this would greatly improve the overall effect, and would also solve your 7.1 dilemma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilMays Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 I second Marksdad comment. You have a great set-up, however, your weak link is your main speakers. Your RB-5II's are awsome speakers and would be perfect at the surround position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

picky Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 mrt: I have the same receiver as you and I am also running it in a 7.1 config. Have you considered mounting the rear speakers "IN" the walls? I'm using two RCW-5's for my two rear channels and they sound awesome! They balance-out real nice with the RF, RC & RS-7's elsewhere in the room! I hope this helps. -Picky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
