Need advice (urgently please!) on replacing a Klipsch surround

[lancestorm]

Hi guys, been a long time since I've been on this forum. Have a semi-urgent question.

Currently I have 5 RF-3II's in my theater along with an SVS sub for my

5.1 setup. Basically, the surround floor standers can't

stay. First, they take up too much floor space. Second,

they are at ear-level to the front row, and below ear-level to the

back, something that is unfortunately unmodifiable and is driving me

absolutely insane!!

While I realize I will be losing my perfect timbre match, I believe

getting a true surround sound is the best option. So...

I went to the dealer. Both he and I suggested that the RS-7

(which is discontinued, but may stil be available) would be my best

choice for getting the best match. I'm inclined to believe it

since it is an 8'' driver that matches the RF-3ii's. However,

Klipsch would probably recommend based on their brochure to use an

RS-35.

Which way should I go? RS-7 or RS-35? Is the additional

cost of the RS-7 worth the money? Surrounds aren't used THAT

often in movies, and besides I am using all speakers set to small with

a crossover at 80hz. So I think either surround would be

adequate. But I wonder if my better-than-average ear would much

prefer the sound of RS-7 over the RS-35.

Opinions? Or think you might have a better speaker suggestion for this dilema?

I appreciate all responses!!!

looking at your thread title, I was going to tell you that gorrila glue, some clamps, and a new surround would be your best shot!

The RS-7 will use the same woofer, but a different tweeter that your fronts. I myself would go with a 3 series surround.
