dexter Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Here is my current set up: RF-7s front RC-7 center RS-35s surround RC-35 rear RSW-15 sub sunfire cinema grand 5 channel amp pioneer elite receiver Is it worth spending the extra money to upgrade the surrounds on my current set-up and if so will i notice it more on music, movies, or both. I need to be able to justify an upgrade to these speakers.. (extra $600-$700 expense) I was once told by a salesman that the RS-35s are more than adequate and upgrading to the RS-7 or RB-75 would not make enough of a difference to justify the added cost... Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lo123 Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Can't help you on your comparison question, but can you tell me how you mounted your RS-35s? I have been trying to find someone who knows the size of the threaded insert on these speakers so I can research speaker brackets for them. Any info on thread size? thanks - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMcGoo Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 I have a similar setup. It was worth it to me to upgrade to RS-7s. Everyone's point of diminishing returns is different. If there is no financail strain, then go for it. The Reference series will be totally revamped next year. If you ever intend to get them, now is the time unless you do not mind buying used.

IAmtnbikr Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 If I remember correctly they are a 1/4" coarse thread size for the insert.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ygmn Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 change all surrounds to RS7... Better timbre matching...for seemless sound.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to be able to justify an upgrade to these speakers I do not think you will get a decents night sleep until you upgrade, always wondering in the back of your mind if your system is complete. I like the RS7's in my room, even better than the RF7s, but some say the RC7 makes a good speaker for rear surrounds too. Decisions..........decisions........decisions...........

HTADDICT Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 surprisingly enough, I kept my rs3ii's and added a pair of rf-7's. Kept my rs3ii's exactly where they were, left them hooked up to the receiver power,......put a pair of rf-7's directly below them, ran them off of an old kenwood amp 200x2 via surround preamp outs, and I really liked the results. The benefits are that you get a little extra of everything, directness of the rf-7, and the tonal match, and the rs-3's high above them give it that extra wide, dispersed sound. Really adds alot to the surround sound. Plus an extra pair of Klipsch's in the house are always welcome! If you can at least try a tower along with your existing surrounds. I don't know if many are doing this, but I am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylanl Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 What about RF7's all the way around. I use miss matched Klipsch towers in my system all the way around. I think it sounds great. I have always wondered what RF all around would sound like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
