gedwyn@mpinet.net Posted July 27, 2001 Share Posted July 27, 2001 In the essence of saving money would a pair of RS-3's be okay to have as surrounds instead of the RS-7's?? Anybody have any opinions on this?? Thanks, Paul ------------------ Paul Graber gedwyn@mpinet.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the borg Posted July 30, 2001 Share Posted July 30, 2001 RS-3's won't match up with the RF-7's. I had KSF5's which are somewhat similiar, running with RF3's & RC3 until recently when I updated to a complete RF-7, RC-7, RS7 system. The RF7's will completely overpower the RS3's to the point where you will have your receiver pushing the surrounds at more than +6db just to be heard. Buy the RS7's. Those speakers are so efficient that you will hear things never heard before and at 0db!! With my current system, I am running my old RF3's as the pair of back surrounds, and they have to be boosted to +5db's just to be heard while running the RF7, RC7, and RS7's at 0db!! I'm getting full, "full" surround sound output at volumes as low as -40db to -47db! Unheard of performance! My system: -Denon 5800 -Sony S7700 DVD -Pioneer 606/dts/dd LD -SVS 16/46c subs (with Samson 700 amp) -Klipsch RF7's -Klipsch RC7 -Klipsch RS7's -Klipsch RF3's (surround back pair) -Proscan 60-inch rptv -JVC S-Vcr -Monster Z2 wiring for the three front speakers. -Monster THX rated wire for surround speakers -All Interconnects are Monster Z3 & M-Series cables Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
