Thank you for all those details. I really appreciate the suggestionsIf it was me I’d look at buying one better sub now and adding a second later if needed. $800 for a pair of rsl 10’s isn’t a bad deal but it’s a real entry level product. Seems like a bad investment that you’ll sell within the first year. Resale isn’t great on rsl speakers and not because of quality, but for their more niche standing.
I saw the Rythmik fvx12 was mentioned at $1100. The monoprice monolith 15 is regularly on sale around $1100 and will destroy that Rythmik. You’d need 4 or maybe 5 speedwoofers to equal the output of one mono 15. In a room that large you need more power.
you should also have much more money in speakers than your avr. Denon 4700 won’t sound any different than a used denon 4500 or a 3700. I know you have a 9ch setup so you’ll need a little higher end avr. Right now your avr costs as much as all your speakers. If those rsl don’t get loud enough right now they’ll only sound worse over time. The in ceiling are ok but I’d look at a different front sound stage at the very least.
you said you’ve spent around $5500 with everything? That’s all 9.1 rsl and denon 4700?
If you’re interested I could build you a much better setup for $5000.
mono 15 $1100
Focal 826 $1400 a pair
Focal chora center $450
Focal chora surrounds $600
You can buy any avr you want under $1500 and meet your $5000 total.
I could build multiple other setups as well with Jbl, wharfedale, revel and more.
RSL cost me $1255 for the CG3/CG23 system with 1 Speedwoofer. I still have not made any changes or upgrades to RSL yet but I will be visiting with owner this afternoon.
The rest of the money was for a 4K Sony BlueRay player (UBP-X700) that @gene recommend, and some other audio accessories.
I wanted to show the breakdown so you can see the amount actually spent on the Audio side so far. I’m willing to add an extra $1000 max to my set up. Hope that helps. I’m still trying to navigate the best speaker selections. I will consider your comment “Seems like a bad investment that you’ll sell within the first year.”
