Two questions:
Can the RM30C be ordered as a kit?
Has anyone used two 626Rs as a center channel speaker?
My thinking is to use a single 626R (kit of course) with my existing large, but not VMPS, speakers. Later I could add a second after upgrading to RM40s. I visulize them being placed, tweeters togeather, horizontaly under the screen with their centers about 21 inches off the floor.
Perhaps the RM30C would be a better choice for the RM40s. I would appreciate others opinion on the matter.
Hi James,
Yes there is actually a thread "and picture" of a VMPS'er using two 626Rs as what I think he called, a "poor mans" RM30. He actually went with three RM30s across the front of his HT, and I think he posted that it was a great improvement.
I don't think B, is offering a Kit for the RM30 (or at least he wasn't)
But as Tyson mentioned, it would be a much better choice to go with the RM30C for your center.
Just look at the numbers on the assembled retail prices
RM30C = $1599 (includes FST tweeter and soundcoat)
Pair 626Rs = $1598
FST tweeter = $400
Soundcoat = $150
============
Total list = $2148
As a stand mound system for movies or music, the 626R is great, but as a Center channel with "Extreme, dynamics and coverage" the RM30 is the champ. (and costs less)
Plus check with your dealer for "courtesy pricing" and you will be good to go
