J.4knee Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 IMO Go with the RF-5's and yes the hsu should be a good sub if you can't get a Refence sub to match to the RF-5's. You could aslo consider SVS but if you can get a Reference sub it would be the best match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdsang Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 Mileage does very from room to room and system to system, but I had my RSW-15 in my front right corner and did a frequecy test. I didn't like it so I talked to forum members and I moved it up about a foot and got a smoother frequacy response. So I may suggest about a foot away from the corner but you can keep it parrellel with the wall about 6-10 inches away. Again mileage varies. You could get an RSW-15 if you don't mind buying a transformer. Annoying I know as I use to live in Germany. A good one may weight in at about 40 lbs. Just a thought. I hope this helps.

jon604 Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 The rf-5 sounds a bit better with the larger horn but not for the price difference. Get the rf-3II if you can find one. I didn't like the rf-35 at all when i listen to all 3 of them next to each other at the dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got lots of reasonable advice to your other questions in your recent thread. Want some more confusion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tunemanjjw Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 I've said this before, but i've owned all the floorstanders at one point. RF-5 ALL DAY LONG. Everything about it is better. The vocals are much larger sounding, the bass is deeper...to be short, it's refined, a lot. Also, as I always mention, I could never tell at the dealer that there was that huge of a difference b/w 3 and 5. Set up at home though, the difference (and where all the extra money went) was very obvious to me and the roomates I had at the time as well. No mysticism to it at all. You MIGHT be happy with rf3/35, but you WILL DEFINITELY be fully satisfied with the rf-5. Why compromise if you don't have to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
