nuxx Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 I was wondering if anybody could give me thoughts/opinions on my system. I recently bought a pair of RF-5s to use as my front channels. I then realized that my receiver wasn't up to the job, so I purchased a Pioneer Elite VSX-84TXSi. After listening and playing with the setup for a few days, I decided I needed a little more bass in the system, so I purchased an RSW-12 to fix that. Just for now, I have a pair of Wharfedale Valdus 500's in the rear. In the coming months, we'll be moving to a new house with a much larger living room. I plan to move the RF-5s to surround, use the RSW-12 as the sub, purchase RF-83s for the fronts, and a RC-64 for the center. I was wondering what everyone thought of this setup? Here's a current pic: Thanks, -Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrios212 Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 that sounds like a great set up. same thing happened to me. i bought some nice speakers and was just planning on staying there for awhile. next you know i had spent about $3k. oh well. your rf-5 won't exactly match the rest of your system which i don't think will be a big deal for movies. it may be noticeable with audio dvds if you have some of those. it's up to you but you could probably still find new rf-7s at a much cheaper price than the 83s. that is if you like the 7s better than the 83s. i have not heard either so can't comment on that. if you went with the rf-7s the rc-7 might be harder to find but they're still out there. just some thoughts. either way, i don't think there is a wrong choice for you. jacob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How badly would the RF-5's and RF-83's be matched? -Peter PS: My girlfriend is terrible with plants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
