Vonbek777 Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Hi, I am upgrading my home theater to a 7.1 setup. Currently I have 4 RF-35s, a RC-35 center, and a RW-12 sub. I was thinking about keeping the RF-35s for my surrounds and upgrading to a pair of RF-83s for my front mains. Would this work, or would it unbalance my system? Would it help to upgrade my center and sub as well? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Youthman Posted February 1, 2008 Moderators Share Posted February 1, 2008 that's will be great. I have to disagree. I think the RC-35 would work fine for your rears but if you buy the RF-83's, the RC-35 will not be voice matched with them. The RC-64 is an amazing speaker and matches the RF-83's very well. If your budget permits, this would be an excellent setup. Not familiar with your sub but my guess is that it will be underpowered compared to the RF-83's.

Kynergy Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 I was focusing on the RF-35 as 4 surrounds. Yes, he has to replace the RC-35 with RC-64. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonbek777 Posted February 1, 2008 Author Share Posted February 1, 2008 I figured I would need to change out the center. I was hoping the sub wouldn't be a problem, but I am not sure. In terms of multi-channel music, will the RF-35s and 83s sound okay together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were you, I would upgrade to the RC-64 but keep your existing sub. Try the system out together and if the sub is lacking, then upgrade your sub at that point.

TNRabbit Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I believe you'll find with RF-83s and an RC-64, the sub won't be as critical. Keep the crossover low (40 hz) and you'll be surprised what can come out of a pair of RF-83s...upgrade to digital sub later...LOVE my RT-12d.

Arky Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Do you have room to use a 3rd 83 as center? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
