colorado30 Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 I am currently piecing together a new home theater system. Presently I have the Center and Sub. The center is the RC-35 and the sub is the RW-12. I would welcome any advice to round out the system. The receiver is a Denon AVR-1905 that will be upgraded later on (can even add an amp to it sooner). The room this is going into is 20 ft wide and 18 ft deep. I have wired the room for 5.1, 6.1 or 7.1 (just starting drywall now) Have a chance at getting a set of RF-5s but think they might be too much for my system. I have been also looking to add RF-35s for the fronts, RS-35s or RB-35s for the rears. Other front choices were RB-75s. Just would like to see what others opinions would be. This will be mostly used for Movies and TV viewing, music around 25%. Thanks for any help or advice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colorado30 Posted October 27, 2004 Author Share Posted October 27, 2004 Would you stay away from the RF-5's then? I think I can pick these up tonight new for what I would pay for RF-35's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicholtl Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Are you kidding? For the same price? RF5's man! You shouldn't even need to ask! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JewishAMerPrince Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 I think that becomes a matter of choice. I don't think there is that much difference between the RF35s and RF5s in sound output, especially in a HT surround setup if you opt to have your front speakers set to small as many do. AND, this is an important AND, the RF5s are a slightly older design than the RC35 center and may have a slighly different timbre match. Even Klipsch recommends the RC7, not the RC35, as the center to use with the RF5. Jerry Rappaport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 If you can get bigger, better RF5's for same price as RF35's I wouldn't worry about the miniscule 'timbre match' problem. Bigger is always better and your RC35 will be just fine with these babies. Go for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.4knee Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 "lost bid by $1.01 " Ouch I feel your pain. You may want to consider filling in with something like RB 35/5/75's all the way around and turn all the bass work over to your sub. This will work better if you plan on your system doing double duty work for multichannel music as well as HT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
