guidedbyvoices Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 I currently have RF-7's and the RC-7 center. My theatre will have columns on the walls, and I would like to conceal the speakers in the wall columns. What would mate well with my existing speakers that isn't rear ported and that is small enough to be concealed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymd Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Welcome to the forum. What's the maximum size you can fit? The RS series are pretty small and they'd match your front speakers perfectly. I'd see if RS3s (or RS3IIs) will fit although I'm not sure they are still being sold new. They're about a foot wide, 8" tall and 8" deep. I'm just guessing though. You can get exact dimensions from the Klipsch home page. The newer series (RS35s?) would probably do just as well. Whatever you do, stay with the reference series to get the best timbre match.

gcoker Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Yes the RC-5 in-wall speaker will work with the 7 series in the rest of your system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myriadcorp Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 I'm not sure putting a speaker into a wall that was not made for that use is smart. Maybe look at some inwall type speakers. I know triadspeakers.com has some good ones that can be used both in wall and out of wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunatly, they are no-longer in production, according to the product info page. The current version would be the R-5800 W That would be what I would suggest doing, if wanting to mount speakers in the columns, but make them descrete. That is assuming there is enough space in the column to fit the in-wall speaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The result can be having the sound seem to jump from speaker to speaker rather than enveloping you as it should. You have enough choices with Klipsch so that there is no need to look elsewhere.

marksdad Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 j.a.p. is right, plus even the rs's are small for your set up, thier frequency response is so limited, could you swing a good set of rb's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
