kohill Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 I just bought a pair of KLF-20's as fronts( which are already for sale because I don't like the black) so I moved my RB-5's to rear duty. WOW The clarity is amazing compared to my old KM-2's. Now I'm spoiled These RB's are some of my favorite speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Rex Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 I couldn't agree more. I was contemplating getting some surrounds so I could possbly use the RB5's in aither a 7.1 setup or another stand alone 2 channel system. Regardless, I have liked my RBs since the first moment I bought them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 RB's make KICKIN surrounds if you've got space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavicator Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 How do the RBs compare to the RSs as surrounds? I'm considering using RS for the L&R surrounds and a RB for the rear center on my 6.1 setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 The good thing about the rb5's is they can do surround and still get good 5/6 channel audio results.For mostly movies I'd get rs7's,for 50% music/concerts/sacd/dvda the rb's would be better,imo.

So, take it as an opinion based upon sensible reasoning rather than experience. I have not owned a set of RS speakers yet but it seems they would provide better surround sound simply because of the short distance I have between my speakers and the listening area. I am very impressed with the RB's as surrounds but I just don't think I have enough space behind my couch to make them as effective as they could be. So, if you have the space, the RBs will do great. If you don't have the space, then the RS's might be the better choice. Let me add about using an RB as a center, even if it is a rear center, I think the RC speakers are much better for this purpose. When I first got my RB5's I experimented with one as my front center and it wasn't as good as my RC3II. So, unless you already have one ready for duty, I would stick with an RC if everything else is the same. D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
