Griffy Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 hi, I want to upgrade my current surround sound setup, but I am unsure of how to do so. I have considered either replacing the surrounds with dedicated surrounds, such as the RS-10, but I have also considered replacing the mains with something better and moving the RB-10s to the rear as surrounds. I have a tight budget (around 350), therefore I have considered the RB-51s as new mains or the RS-10 as new surrounds, but am unsure of what would have the greater benefit. Would the RB-51 provide any noticable quality over my RB-10? My current Setup: Yamaha HTR-5730 Klipsch RB-10 (mains) Klipsch RC-10 (center) Klipsch RW-8 (woofer) Klipsch SB-1 (surrounds) thanks for your help.

TNRabbit Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I think your best bet would be to upgrade your mains and use the RB-10s as surrounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shochman Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 The most important speaker is the center speaker, since all of the dialog goes to it. I would recommend upgrading to an RC52 and then when you get more money, upgrade the rb10's to rb51's. You can always sell the old ones on E-Bay to finance the upgrade to the RB51's. The SB-1's or the RB-10's are both fine as surrounds. It is not anywhere near as critical to match the back speakers to the front as it is to match the center and main speakers.
