Beetlejuice Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 I'm looking to add a rear center to my system. I don't have the space for 2 more RF-7s. I need something smaller that can be mounted higher. So I am thinking either 1 RC-7 or 2 RB-75. Last night I moved my RC-7(center) to the the rear center position so I could get a rough idea of how it would sound. I proped it up on one of the boxes my RF-7 came in(not the best speaker stand). I thought it sounded pretty good, considering it was sitting on an empty box and I hadn't calibrated the speaker level. There was plenty coverage in my main seating position. My question is are there any other advantages to using 2 surround back speakers other than just covering a wider area.

Beetlejuice Posted May 19, 2004 Author Share Posted May 19, 2004 Thx for the reply. I'm going to go with the RC-7 for a 6.1 setup. Some day I would like to get another RF-7 to use as a center. Of course thats if can can buy a single RF-7. I would then move my current RC-7 to the rear for a 7.1 setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
