enavarro51 Posted October 4, 2001 Share Posted October 4, 2001 I'm planning on using the RB-3 as my main speakers, RC-3 as my center, KSW-12 as sub. I have a 30 degree sloping ceiling above and behind the listeners and would like to do an in-ceiling mount of the surrounds. Does anyone have any experience/recommendations regarding using the RCW-3 or 5 or the RCR-3 or 5 for surrounds? Primary use is for HT.

Underhanded Penguin Posted October 5, 2001 Share Posted October 5, 2001 That sounds perfect for in ceiling mounts of the RCR-3 or 5. Since surrounds are suppose to be placed high anyways. the 30 degrees slope will automatically aim the surroudns towards ear level listening position. I don't have any experience with the RCW series but the recommended surround for any of the reference sries is the RS series speakers. I'm getting a pair of RC-3's for my RB-3, RC-3 setup. Personally, I like the dipole surrounds better than the direct radiating ones because it gives you a more ambient soundstage, which more accurately represents evironments in movies. The sound appears to envelope you more, and spaces are more accurately conveyed in movies. With that being said, I know many people on this forum prefere direct radiating surrounds better because of its precision and localization of effects (not that the RS-3 can't localize effects but I guess direct radiating surrounds are more accurately localized.) Anyways, sorry i'm of no help to your topic, but I felt the urge to comment anyways. Good luck! -UP ------------------ I love you Aki Ross!

badbob Posted October 5, 2001 Share Posted October 5, 2001 Because of the WAF factor, I am using the RCR-5's as my rear surrounds (as opposed to the RS-3's). I am very pleased!! The tweeter is on a post that allows it to rotate and tilt. This allows the tweeter to be "pointed". I have mine mounted in a normal/flat ceiling about 1 foot behind the sofa (i.e. listening area). The tweeters are positioned to fire towards the listening area. Hope this helps. ROCK ON!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
