Thinking about replacing my Bose center with this.

Also replace the two Eosone bookshelf speakers with these and leave the subwoofer as is.

Here's my current setup. I did some digging and read that it is ideal to have the same brand speakers as far as floor, bookshelf, center and surround are concerned, but that the sub-woofer can be a different brand.

Thoughts?

Subwoofer does not need to be the same brand.

And as long as you like horns, Klipsch is fine.

I would go listen to a pair vs a non-horn(practically...everything else).

If you like the Eosone, why not pick up one of the two RSC 300 that are on eBay...

Eosone isn't around anymore since they were acquired by Polk years ago. I've had that three piece set since the 90's and they still work well, however I'd like to replace the center channel and have always heard great things about Klipsch.

Is this the center you're referring to?

Eosone wasn't "acquired".

Nudell(Infinity) side project with Polk sold through Best Buy only. The experiment ended after 5 years.

The claim to fame...

DCM had died(as a B&M brand) and Nudell had the idea to carry on DCM's idea of a rear facing tweeter(not that rear facing tweeters are anything "new". Just DCM going away...left a "retail void"). Infinity had its own stuff going on. Polk was stuck in a rut(every company gets stuck in a rut once in a while).

Yes, that one.

Eosone are very competent speakers. The larger ones (RSF200 and larger) actually kept up with the, seemingly, steroidal tweeter.

Thanks for the information. I wasn't aware of those details.

On the subject of subwoofers. Can I even use this subwoofer amp with other speaker brands? The two Eosone RSA speakers are actually running off of it.

So, you are using the high level(speaker wire) instead of the AVR bass management.

What AVR do you have?

Every speaker made can be wired that way...but no reason to do so with modern bass management.

I have the Yamaha RX-V467.

Yes, you can use the EOSONE RSP 910 with other speakers. You'll want to use the line-in instead of the speaker wire connection.

schan1269 · Nov 15, 2015

So...since you ran it this way...

You set subwoofer as "no", which defaulted main LR to "large"...

The line-in as in this?

Where do I do this?

schan1269 · Nov 15, 2015

In the AVR set up menu.

Yes, that's the correct connection. And of course you'd use the line-out (RCA connection) on the receiver. I couldn't find a manual for that sub,but usually you only have to connect the 'right' jack on the sub.

On the Yamaha, you can either go in and turn the sub on (and mains to small), or better yet, run the auto calibration and it'll set all the speakers for you.
