Tim_in_NC Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Hi Guys, I picked up a complete 5.1 system recently and wanted to get your advice on my Rear setup in my 7.1 theater ... Up front, I'm running a Cherry RC-7 and Cherry RF-7s ... For Rears I was thinking of running my RF-3s and then using the RS-7s for Rear Surrounds ... All powered with an Harman Kardon AVR-7300 and using the 15" Sub ... Do you guys feel it would be a better move using the RS-7s as Rears and the RF-3s as Rear Surrounds ??? Thanks!

TNRabbit Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 You're not going to get a heckuva lot of material from the rear surrounds so I'd suggest smallest speakers there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InVeNtOr Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 in either a 5.1 or 7.1 you want to run the rs-7 as your side surrounds. if you are going 7.1 and you already have rf-3's available, but them as your rear speakers. that way you don't have to buy anything new. looking at your sig, yo ucould also use your rs-3 as your rears too. just another option.

Zen Traveler Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 You're not going to get a heckuva lot of material from the rear surrounds so I'd suggest smallest speakers there. I run RF-3 towers as side surrounds and RB-75s as rears and my side and rear sound fields are AWESOME. I recommend staying in budget but having properly matched speakers to your front array (and the power to drive them) is going to bring about a more visceral experience as well as better quality sound, imo. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
