jdant Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 I currently have 2- RF-3's, 2- RS-3's, RC-3, and a RSW-10 with a Denon 3805. I have a chance to buy a Cherry RC-7 for $399 brand new on closeout. If I make the purchase, I would take the RC-3 I currently have and move it to my rear center and make the new RC-7 my new front center speaker. Would this really make a BIG Difference in the way my system sounds. I listen to 20% music and 80% movies and TV. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Has anyone actually compared the two, or made the switch between the RC-3 and the RC-7???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Elm Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 From all accounts I have read, I must say DO IT (this coming from an RC3II owner myself). Much clearer voices (apparently) and a more dynamic cc is never a bad thing. The only thing you need to worry about is timbre matching as I'm not sure how well the bottom of the reference line matches with the flagship. $400 is an incredible deal too. It would be tough to pass that up. My two cents based on others opinions. Remember I have never A/B'd the two. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ottscay Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Do not pass "Go", do not collect $200 dollars; run-don't-walk to the store and go get that RC-7. I had the -35 series (like your rc-3 no slouch), but the improvement in upgrading to the rc-7 was one of the largest single upgrades I've done. Especially for movie dialogue (and even more for off-axis listening). Seriously, you will not regret it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Rex Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 I went from an RC3 II to an RC-7. I also had plans to keep my RC3 II as a rear surround but I just didn't have the space to keep it. The RC3 II is an excellent center channel but the RC-7 is a significant improvement. I wouldn't hesitate to spend the $400 for a brand new one. You could use it for years and then, when you go to sell it, you would probably be able to make a Benjamin or two! Take care, D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockbobmel Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 I sold my RC-3 for a 7 and WOW! what a difference. But I had to make a bigger TV cart to fit it. It is BIG! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Rex Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Two years ago I am not sure I would have ever said this about a speaker but for $400 I don't see how you could go wrong! Congratulations! D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
