    Very interesting!  I love how they have the wood front instead of black plastic on the original RF-7. 

    Gotta hate that they're not offered in the original natural Cherry.  I'd be sorely tempted to buy another pair, but they won't match my existing setup.

    Now that is really interesting. If Klipsch is bringing back the big boy, I'd say that's a real compliment to the design.

    MSRP $1100 each.

     check out the details in the photos- the FRONT panel is also veneered the same color as the rest of the cabinet. They LOOK GREAT even nekkid!

    Maybe they could build them in HOPE, then I might have to buy a pair. Of course the wife would love to see those in the bedroom.

    We might be able to accommodate that if you're interested.  I can inquire on Monday.

     Does this mean that my rf-83 were a failed attempt at a better model? And then the Palladiums were failed attempt since the rf-83 were the base concept of the palladiums.

    Absolutely not, Jay.  The RF-7 is a different sound than the RF-83s  - neither is "better," and we all know listening is subjective.  You choose what is right for you. 

    I can't believe you'd suggest such a thing!! Smile

    hmmmm I do not know if I'd call any of those a failed attempt. Just like the CW III Klipsch listened to their fan/customer base and brought them back! Well done Klipsch, being a Heritage guy I always liked the 7's

    I'm definitely going to agree with that statement. I'm not a real big fan of the plastic face but, now that it's real wood veneer. I just might be interested in buying a pair. Even if it means breaking up my current system.Huh?
