Groto Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I have had a pair of RF-7s for a few months and plan on getting the RC-64 for the center since it is hard to find a cherry rc-7 and it seems people think RC-64+RF-7 works well. My question is what I should do for the 2 surrounds/rears? I don't have room for using 2 more RF-7s for those.. Would it be better to get some RS-7s or RS-62s or would it be better to go with a bookshelf like RB-81? I looked at the RB-75s but it's too hard to find those.

IndyKlipschFan Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 RS 7's. And if your looking for the perfect match, take your time and find the RC 7 too. Timbre matters!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronmarks Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Aren't the RB-75's timbre matched as well? I suppose that you could also use some RF-5 or RF-7 towers as well, but some may think that is overkill. It depends on what kind of listening you will be doing (movies/music).

darylomer12 Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I think he was more talking about timber matching the center. The front three are very noticeable. While the 64 may sound good with the 7's, the RC-7 is a perfect match and you will not be dissapointed. Surrounds are a different story. You could get away with being a little off. I use RS-52's for my side surrounds and they sound great. Probably not as good as the matching RS-7's, but pretty close. So you could get away with the 62's and they will sound fine. I will keep my eyes open for a cherry RC-7 for you. Where do you live? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groto Posted November 22, 2007 Author Share Posted November 22, 2007 I'm in central Illinois. I've looked for the RC-7 and even online I have only found black. There may have been a cherry one once or twice but it was always in pretty terrible physical condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

masterxela Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 You should buy my cherry rb-75's. I'm in springfield, MO, but can bring them up to St. Louis They are the only bookshelf with the same tweeter as the rf-7. Perfect match One has 3 scratches on the right side. $500 obo Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UFObuster Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Since I use 5.1 (and 6.1) for a lot of multi-channel listening....I prefer direct radiators for surrounds instead of purpose built surround speakers which "scatter" sound. Someone above mentioned RB-75 bookshelfs...sounds promising. I use a pair of RF-5 towers. A lot less space intrusive than a second pair of RF-7 and very complimentary. Judging by the content of what I own in SACD, DVD-A, DTS, and Dolby records and concert DVDs, the surround content in a lot of recordings is rather thin. So, I think matching RF-7s in back is just too much....the RF-5 is just about right. Never heard the RB-75 but it may be worth a look. Have fun with this....nice problem.

Catharsis147 Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 RB-75's for RF-7's is a seamless match. Only better match I can think of are another pair of RF-7's, which I think is overkill for surround duty, and takes up a heck of a lot of space. Never heard the RF-5's with RF-7's, but the RB-75's have the exact same tweeter as the RF-7's and I can tell you with experience that the Rb-75's will be a great idea if you are looking at direct radiators versus the RS-7's.

Saturn5 Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Has anyone tried both the RF-5 and RB-75 with the RF-7? I'm thinking about either of these to go with my RF7s and was wondering how they compare if anyone has tried them both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groto Posted November 30, 2007 Author Share Posted November 30, 2007 Wow I'd be real interested in those RB-75s too but I don't want to pay that much especially with scratches. I PMed the guy with the RC-7.For the guy with the RB-75s could I see some pictures? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
