Moderators Youthman Posted September 12, 2008 Moderators Share Posted September 12, 2008 Welcome to the forums OS. You will have one sweet system once it is setup. Please post some pics once you do. I absolutely love my RF-83's. They'll rock your world, especially with the B&K & Parasound combo. I'm drooling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuyOtherSoundEquipment Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Your numerous subs are acceptable.... But just barely. [] *note the jealous sarcasm* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 That's going to be a kick-butt system for sure. However, I thought side surrounds are recommended to be more of the RS-62 type and the rears more of the RF-63 type? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I absolutely love my RF-83's. They'll rock your world, especially with the B&K & Parasound combo. I'm drooling. Thanks for the welcome. I am looking to upgrade the C2 possibly with the C3 when it's released. Your numerous subs are acceptable.... But just barely. I have owned the Conquests for a few weeks now. I purchased them to replace some Velodyne HGS-18's I had been using. I added the MBM-12's recently as well. I just picked up the ULS-15 DuelDrive system. I have been using tactile transducers in my system for at least 10 years. That's going to be a kick-butt system for sure. However, I thought side surrounds are recommended to be more of the RS-62 type and the rears more of the RF-63 type? I believe that is user preference. I originally had ordered a pair of RS-62's for the sides as well. Due to my new room configuration I decided to try some direct floorstanders on the sides. If I don't like the performance I will hang some RS-62's on the side walls. OS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OS I think whatever way you decide, you have many of us very jealous on here! [6] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecutter Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 The room is 2000cf? That amounts to 20 x10 x10. That's not that big. Why do you need all the towers? I think the RS-62's would do a better job of dispersing the sound, especially if you are used to DefTech dipoles. I use the RS-62's . there is no localization of sound. My RF-63's are very point specific. If you are out of their direction, the sound is not as rich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I originally was going to put some RS-62's on the side walls were my Def Tech BPVX's are. Due to a right side wall room configuration that changed I decided to go with some floorstanding RF-63's. After doing some research I also decided I wanted to try some directs for side surrounds. OS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't had time to do any A/B comparisons with the RF-63's on the floor. OS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
