thump4863 Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I just got a good deal on a brand new reference system. 2 - RF-35, 2 RS-52, a RC-35 and a Sub 12 I currently have a sony receiver that puts out 80 watts per channel. I have about a medium sized room. Will these sound good with my receiver till I can save the money to get a better one? Also I havent heard the references but the salesman told me that they are better than the F-3s I was wanting. This setup was cheaper than the F-3s and he said it was a lot better system.

Vladi Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Well, what is the receiver make and model? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thump4863 Posted August 14, 2007 Author Share Posted August 14, 2007 Sorry its a Sony STR-K502. I bought it about 4 years ago in an upper level theater in a box. I will get one eventually just curious how it will sound until then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldbuckster Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 It will be ok..................I had a Sony, great Home Theatre, a little weak in 2 channel reproduction, it will work for now............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelA Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 As oldbuckster said, it will be ok for the time being. I had a Sony before I went with the Denon, and noticed a big difference in surround sound quality.I feel the Denon has better channel seperation and is a warmer sounding receiver. The problem with your question though is that it generally leads to a upgrade once you start hearing everyone's opinion.[] At least listen to the Sony for a few weeks and ask the question again. The speakers you have are very nice, so dont give up on them if you are not satisfied with the sound from the Sony. They will reveal the weak link in your system. Only you can decide if you like the sound of the Sony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tangentially, how do the RS-52s sound in that setup? I have pretty much the same system with the RS-35s but was thinking about upgrading the surrounds to RS-52s and moving the RS-35s to the rears. Was worried they'd be overkill unless I also upgraded the fronts. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
