ccsakura Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 Just recieved this evening as I came back......... the speakers look really nice to me. Even they are cherry(didn't have the black color, sold out), for a pair of RB-5II at $500 is really nice(opened box). It's little bit too big for the table that kicked the reciever to aside again Still warming them up while 12am here...... sounds a little better than I just recieved but not completely correct pitch yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skonopa Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 Very nice! I liked the sound of those RB-5II's, but opted for full-range towers intead. They will certainly be a step up from what you had before. I guess now it time you can finally ditch those PreMedia satellites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccsakura Posted February 20, 2004 Author Share Posted February 20, 2004 here's the banana plugs with the sound king 12guage speakers...... look quite nice....... but sounds much better than the previous speakers I had(16guage monster cable) well they look nice too(altho I can't look at them when they are hooked ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This pair will be the step before full tower at the moment, RF-5s are just too expensive for me(like double the price as this pair of RB-5II, 1100 at least). I was going to buy the RF-3II thru ebay or others, but changed my mind when I found out there's a pair of RB-5II for $500 with shipping and warranty The SBS are going to the back surround...... didn't have time to finish them tonight tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripod Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 I think you have to win the prize for killer desktop system! I'll bet even the people using RF7's for their surrounds don't have anything close to this for their computers (except maybe theEars).

Still, what you have now is going to be very nice. Enjoy what you have now. You are still young, so you got plenty of time to move up the line as your budget and tastes change. Hell, what you got now was way more than what I had at your age while going to college. All I had was a friggan boombox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm considering to stop for speakers after the sub and surronud will be changed, then go ahead with amp or videos........ long way for "upgrading"(or being ripped off? ) But still, this pair of RB-5II have more than I was expected. When I thought "ok it started to be completely warmed up and here's its limit", there's another peak for better sound coming up . Nothing I can say other than I love them (thank god my girl friend doesn't read this forum ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary W. Graley Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 Very nice! and those banana plugs, are those the ones from ebay? I'm sorely tempted to grab a batch of them, are they solid feeling when plugged in? G2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G2 ---------------- Yea it's the speakerrepair, check this link out http://www.stores.ebay.com/id=2112204&ssPageName=L2 They are more solid than I thought...... actually they are using the screws for compressing the cable, not the one just simply compression by two parts. But you also need to get the tiny screwdrivers (-type for around 1mm) in order to drive the screws too. And one more note that they sell plugs as in single number. When they say 20plugs that means 10pairs, so read the numbers carefully(I got myself 40 plugs ). It accepts up to 10guage I guess, I got mine as 12guage that's close to it's limit. However I don't recommend to any others that use 16guage or smaller for the banana plug, I tried 4types of plugs so far and none of them can hold the cables that lower than 16 guage well(I had 16guage speakers with the PM 5.1 sub, 14-16 guage was its limit). I'd like to hear someone get the locking plugs someday, I couldn't afford it tho(because I switched the whole system's plug up, 40plugs would be $100 for it).

Graley Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 Sold! just ordered a set of 10 to outfit my RF7s RC7 and SB2s, that should do it! and I have the SoundKing 12ga wire all around, as well as bi-wired on the RFs...thanks...:-) G2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juba310 Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 nice... I was also kind of in a position you were in. I was looking to go with RF-25's but when I saw the RB-5II's on sale at the goodguys, brand new for $460 I jumped on it. I'm very pleased with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
