halfadeck Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Need some advice from some of you klipsch gurus. I really would like to get an rc-64 but the only placement I would have would be 45 inches sbove the tops of my klf-20's and about 22 inches above the top of my tv. The tv stand opening is only 26 and 1/2 inches so can't fit it there. I am wondering if the rc-64 tilted down to the seating position which is about 18 feet from the tv would be okay or would the sound be to out of kiltered. Your opions would be much appreciated. Thank you ahead of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brac Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Shouldn't you be looking for F-C7? Best sonic match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falcon20x Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Probably not the best position but it should still work, the RC 64 not being a ported speaker is a lot more forgiving that the RC 7 is. Anyway, they are both outsanding speakers I do agree with BAC, unless you are planing to upgrade your speakers, you would be better looking for the a matching center.

LoudnClear Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I'd say you'll be fine. I've found that if you can choose between speakers above or below the picture, above is more natural and less "locatable" by the mind. Kimball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arky Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I do agree with BAC, unless you are planing to up grade your speakers in future, you would be better looking the a matching center. I 3rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halfadeck Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 Thank you for your inputs. I eventually would like to upgrade and my lfc7 died so I need another center speaker and I would end of with the same problem with the lfc7 its also too wide. And it is very hard to find. Ive heard nothing but good things about the rc-64. I just hope the center speaker sounds alright being so high if not an rc-7 will fit in tv stand. I know the lfc7 would be a better match but I haven't seen it anywhere. Thanks again my klipsch friends and if anyone wants to throw their two cents in please feel free any advice will help my decision making.

TNRabbit Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I have an RC-64 and it kicks butt. All you have to do is aim it at your listening position & set the # of feet away in your processor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brac Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Klf-c7 dimensions 11" (27.94cm) x 27.19" (69cm) x 9.125" (23.18cm) RC-64 height 8" (20.3cm) width 33" (83.8cm) depth 13.5" (34.3cm) If you don't like 27" you really don't like 33", the 64 is a monster!!!!

halfadeck Posted June 27, 2008 Author Share Posted June 27, 2008 My tv stand only has a 261/2" opening so once I have to put it on top of the entertainment center it won't matter the width. I'm thinking also with the rc-64 being wider and having more wider of a listening area it will help make up for having the center channel so high above my mains, but thats me just guessing. Now I can fit an rc-7 just below the tv in the stand thats only 26" wide so I would have a 1/4" on each side I just hope it won't change the sound with being enclosed like that.
