Vladi Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 I am looking to purchase a pair of RS-3 II, possibly from a forum member. I searched eBay, but currently there are only a few RS-35. (edit) I am looking for black color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladi Posted November 14, 2005 Author Share Posted November 14, 2005 I still need a pair. Anywone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael hurd Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 The sound is very close on the RS-35, I would find a pair of those, and not worry, unless you are a real stickler with matching. I have mismatched rears, and notice no real drastic change in panning to the rear. I did have a mismatched center, and found that it did work ok, but when I got the proper center, seemed like a mcuh better match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmushkin Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 This may help you decide on alternatives. From the spec sheets, RS-3: 61-20KHz +/- 3dB, 95dB sensitivity, Two K-106-K 1" (2.54cm) Titanium dome compression drivers, K-1086-S 6.5" (16.51cm) Cerametallic® cone / cast polymer frame RS-3 II: 61-20kHz +/- 3dB, 95dB sensitivity, Two K-106-K 1" (2.54cm) Titanium dome compression drivers, K-1086-S 6.5" (16.51cm) Cerametallic® cone / cast polymer frame RS-35: 81-20kHz +/- 3dB, 97dB sensitivity, Two K-137 1" (2.54cm) Titanium dome compression drivers, K-1126-O 6.5" (16.51cm) Cerametallic® cone / cast polymer frame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladi Posted November 15, 2005 Author Share Posted November 15, 2005 RS-35: 81-20kHz +/- 3dB --> this is exactly why I don't want the RS-35, their frequency response is a whole 20Hz above that of RS-3 II. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTADDICT Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Hey vladi, I thought I emailed you but maybe it didn't go through, I have a pair of rs 3ii's and am looking for a pair of rs-7's, still interested? Let me know and I'll start looking for a pair of 7's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 60 Hz in that region is, let's see 60-120 would be an octave, so going from cutoff of 60 to 80 is like about one third of an octave, or a whopping 3-4 notes. Not a super huge deal. If it's HT, you're probably crossing over at 80 (THX standard) anyway. Really, no big deal, unless you can grab a pair of 3II's used cheap. EDIT **Do you have the RB5 as back surround and want to use the RS for side duty, or vice versa? Those RB's have pretty substantial bass, so I can see why you might balk at the 35's paltry performance. Any way to squeeze 4 RB5's back there for surround duty?

VALGOLFS Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 I have a pair of RS3 in black, great condition in the Northbay. Still looking? I may be interested in selling, move to in ceiling rears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
