tonysly Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Well my question is pretty simple. I have RF7's and an RC7 center with RS3 II's as surrounds right now, but I was wondering if I could use the RC7's as my surrounds if I bought 2 more. I am also looking at getting a couple RS7's or RB75's, but I love the RC7 and am thinking of using it for my surrounds as well. That may sound stupid I guess, but it seems like they would work great. Any opinions? I'm still pretty new to all of this high end speaker stuff, so I would love to hear what some of you experts may have to say. Thanks everybody!

picky Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Welcome to the forum! It's great to have you here. One of our long-time members has a nice RF-7 theater with 3 RF-7's up front and RC-7s for side surrounds and rear. His screen name is m00n but I have not seem him posting very often of late. You might look him up and try sending him an email or PM. -Glenn Photo of m00n's HT with side RC-7s taken during his RC-7 support construction phase back in 2004...

WS65711 Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 I use RF5's and and RC7 up front, with RB75's on the sides and rears. It sounds fantastic! [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picky Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 In our theater, we run a pair of RF-7s up front with an RC-7 center channel and the two side surrounds are RS-7s (shown in black below). The two rear are RCW-5 in-walls (shown in white below) and there's an RSW-15 sub. The 7.1 setup sounds outstanding IMHO! -Glenn There are a lot more images on our web site.

tonysly Posted August 24, 2008 Author Share Posted August 24, 2008 Ok, I guess I'm going to resist the urge to buy another 4 rc-7's I was just worried about the quality of my surrounds when compared to my front three. I dont like to mix different reference series either, so I want whatever I get to be made specifically matched for the RF7 set. I may get 2 pairs of rs-7's, or 2 pairs of rb-75's, but from what I have heard from you guys I think I am going to go with one pair of each. I would like to get 4 rb-75's because I love how I can bi-wire them like the rf7's and rc7, but most people I've heard from really seem to like their rs-7's so I'm leaning towards getting a pair of each so I can move them around and decide what I like most. I'm thinking of using the rb75's for the side surrounds and the rs7's for the backs- any opinions, should I switch that around? Also I haven't seen many rb75's for sale used, what is an average price for a used pair of those? I know they are more than the RS7s, which is why I figured they are probably nicer than the RS7's as well. Last question- am I going to notice a big difference between the RS7's I get compared to the RS3 II's I have going right now? Anyways thanks for replies guys,I would really appreciate some more advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would switch them around and have the RB-75's in the rear and the RS-7's for the sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el jopez Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Ok, I guess I'm going to resist the urge to buy another 4 rc-7's You do that as I need to amass as many of them as I can. I have learned you can never have to many RC-7's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonysly Posted August 25, 2008 Author Share Posted August 25, 2008 Jopez, have you used the rc-7's as surrounds? Please let me know how they compare to the rs7's or to your rb75's as surrounds or rear speakers. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el jopez Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Not so much, I am just overly impressed with how the RC-7 sounds over the Rb-75. It is a matter of personal taste, and having owned both going with either the RB75 or RC7will provide phenomenal results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
