Hi Gents...I am from germany and an fanatic Klipsch Lover ....... Two days ago I had to delete all my pictures because the 150 MB folder had exhausted its capacity. For this reason the summary of the RF7 MK II SE modification thread has been summarized on pages 12 and 13. This report is based on a purely subjective description and can only be assessed by the author. There is no one who can confirm or confirm this as this project took place exclusively in my music room. Even from my acquaintance / circle of friends, nobody was there to officially confirm it and to be able to certify it accordingly. I bought the RF 7 MK II in March 2015, never before had a series loudspeaker so impressed me with its performance, so packed, so fascinated, that I cried 2 packs of handkerchiefs while listening in the demo room Seller was completely unsettled. He had never seen that before. I told him after an hour ... wrap up ... where can I pay. After the demo, I took a closer look at the beloved object of desire and found "it is the loudspeaker of my life" ...... will be with me until the last day of my life. Regardless of the emotional force with which the RF 7 MK II acoustically captured me and its "classic beauty" as a loudspeaker, I said to a friend who was with me, who also confirmed to me with the words "I have never heard anything like this in my life and felt ", .... imagine you go back to it when you have it for a few years and start to tune it .......... I said this for a good reason, because I had designed, designed and built speakers myself in the late 1990s with the absolute top chassis from Dynaudio at the time, 2 x WW 30 basses / active passive, D 54 mid-range dome and Esotec 260 tweeters Crossover was a 3 way base crossover from Dynaudio which I modified completely with Mundorf components together with another friend who was running a very successful DIY loudspeaker store in my Hometown at that time. We gave the project the name "Dynaudio Pentagon". At various demos in HiFi shops in surrounding cities, we played numerous dealers speechless with the Pentagon. You are the cool speaker was the general tenor after a demo. During this time I work for a leading manufacturer for sound / light / laser technology with a 1,200 m2 showroom in which we advised international customers about these professional technologies, developed, designed and distributed concepts for sound / light / laser technology systems and distributed them worldwide , I was export director in this company, looked after the international clientele and built up a dealer distribution network on 3 contenders. In our showroom there is an 18,000 watt, 5-way active system from JBL, which was gigantic in the purest intravenous form, both acoustically, as well as lighting and vice technology. By mid-2010, we had become one of the leading global outfitters for multimedia projects of this type. After that, the company was bought up and broken up. Based on this background knowledge in audio technology, it was clear to me from day one that I would not be able to avoid using my knowledge one day on the RF 7 MK II in order to really exploit its potential. So I started tinkering with her after half a year already, i.e. during the guarantee period, because I always knew ... she can do more than that ... I feel that ... I know that ... she can much much more ........ All the little things that I have done with the so-called mini-modifications do not play a major role. However, it became clear to me that she immediately reacted acoustically to each of these small interventions. So she is a highly sensitive lady .... a sleeping princess waiting to be kissed awake and then to mature into a queen. I decided that one day I would completely modify it, just didn't know when it should come. Sometime when the time is right ........ I also forgot all of this thought, also for time and professional reasons. In November last year awakened this forgotten project.............. I divided this project into 4 phases, in the end there were 6 .......... 1st phase> Optimization of the current flow within the loudspeaker by massive reduction of the contacts, incl. the installation from new internal wiring. 2nd phase> Acoustic optimization of the interior sound room 3rd phase> Mechanical optimization by rebuilding the stability and resulting housing-space decoupling 4th phase> Optical revision with new heavy spikes, the horn and the two Medium Bass woofers. 5th phase> Use of physical-chemical fluids influencing the flow of current on the chassis and the crossover, which were developed by NASA 6th phase> Reconstruction with external crossover from high-end components from different manufacturers, with 2 additional optional modify levels in the sound image Phases 1 to 5 have been completed and I kissed my princess awake .... breathed her new life. Never before has she played with the basic crossover so energetically from a single source at such a fabulous level. The radiance and beauty of music, its immense power and at the same time tenderness, its emotion and precision. She captures me and doesn't let me go, enchants and plays with my feelings as she likes. She breathes the stage into the room. as light-footed as a tap dance by Fred Astaire. It is soulful and smooth like the tender kiss of a beautiful woman. She whispers in my ear with a hint of a sunny, warm spring wind .............. I love her like never before. Thus, the potential analysis phase 1 to 5 is completed and can be rated subjectively as, that is the maximum. This potential analysis is also based only in combination with my electronic playback equipment. Phase 6 is in preparation, the necessary material for the external high end crossover is already available. Thre might be some grammatical faults within my Topic , please so kind an do not pay any attention to them .. 🙂 Pictures will come up soon ............ Regards MicroMara

Stopped at WalMart here yesterday and I'd like to leave the msg here in case she's a forum member. To the lady with the 5 screaming kids yesterday at WalMart. In case you're wondering how the package of condoms got in your cart? YOU'RE WELCOME!

Were way more South, shorts and t shirt, at home shoes are optional. Plus permanent Weekend Standard Time.

} Appears you’re a little late - times 5 -😏

Sounds like not your normal campground. Can see it now, dancers in fishnets, dudes in sarongs and one girl walking around with a big snake, sounds fine. Something to see that's for sure.

When I worked at the campground, we had some "dancers" living there. No Shirt. No Shoes, No Service. No problem. All self-serve The girls would come in wearing 2inch fishnet.... never heard anyone complain. When the campground owner's daughter came in with her boa.... big problem. Folks would cut and run. Fun times.

Tell him I'm local and can pick up with cash in hand (and a surprise in the other)

Lived the FL life for a decade it was kinda like that!

For certain young ladies, no shirt, no shoes, no bottoms...

No shirt, no shoes, no problem.

Hope the kids don't think they're candy.

As long as the cars start! Last winter schools were closed for three days in a row due to the cold. Wind chills were -60 to -65 during that time. It's the first time I've seen schools closed that long just because of the cold. Oddly enough as the morning goes on it's actually getting colder, down to -24 now. In this weather you can start your car and run it for 15 minutes and the temperature needle will have barely moved at all.

To add further complication, a horn's radiation pattern can also change with distance from the horn. I once measured a microwave horn (wavelength comparable to audio wavelengths) where the radiation pattern in the near field was entirely different than in the far field. Also, the amplitude response varied with 1/distance in the near field and 1/distance² in the far field. Where does the near field end and the far field begin? Where the response changes as described above. Most horns don't have such a pronounced change with distance, so near field and far field may not exist for them.

Mike and I will be setting up a gofundme page shortly.

Maybe just add in an extra sill plate (1-1/2") to fill the void? Best of luck with the project!

Most likely he has anything you may possibly need, fictional of course!!

Thanks Wipster for posting the pictures. It's been so long since I've posted anything here I couldn't figure out how to upload photos. I just got the Pioneer RT-909 reel to reel back last week from a restoration guy in Illinois who replaced all of the electrolytic caps and pretty much did a full restoration. The deck looks and sounds great. The Transcendent Sound equipment shown here are from kits that I built last winter. There's a thread over on Talkin Tubes I think that's asking for recommendations for for tube kits. I would highly recommend Transcendent Sound. Iv'e gone through a number of vintage tube amps and this is the best sound I've come across.

Assuming that marriage, children and employment allow USNRET's relocation to said coordinates at the designated date/time he will be bringing nothing but a desire to hear your systems, drink your booze, eat your munchies and receive donations to cover his trip.

} Not sure posting this at a Walmart is a good idea -? It’s a little sketchy already — 😧

Proof there are dumb blondes everywhere.

Some other cool music, it's great what these people are doing with musicians around the world. Playing For Change

Pretty wintry day in west central MN.

Woofers in place and K-402 being lowered into position.

Lots of open spaces that's for sure.

Oh heck yes.

Extreme high violent crime city now. Looking at train watcher self guided tours and time after time the comment don't go or if you do bring a gun, a friend and watch out all the time. Just no way unless you are way outside city limits. Forklift and pallet jack and easy peasy. Otherwise 288 pounds appx of no handles monster.

The other day I did a sound check with "Berhard Allsison's" "Chills & Thrills" ". My music room has a ceiling height of 5.60 m from the second third of the 35 mm2 room. I use an analog sound level meter. .I reached 105 dB, without room modes and resonances. It was a life concert in my music room. It was an indescribable acute experience.

I'm kinda normal?!? the owner's daughter would sunbathe nude at the pool. The dancers would have a towel draped over their shoulder en route to the showers. Es todo Clothes? Whatever for? Our beer deliveries were always prompt.

Im in the panhandle of Florida, im pretty much just taking offers because im not exactly sure of its value honestly

I made it till the 4th. Had an awesome drink in the Jefferson Hotel in Richmond, Va. Called the Shape Shifter. I has a frozen ball of Compare in it. So it starts off like a Manhattan and finishes like a boulevardier. I remarked to the bartender that the Shape Shifter was like a Negroni (one of my favorite drinks) but with Bourbon vs Gin. He said that's exactly what a boulevardier *IS*. My wife and I cracked up. I thought I was going to impress the bartender with my refined pallet, instead I revealed my ignorance of drink types/names. I highly recommend that hotel for a get away weekend. My wife and I played John and Yoko, never needed to leave the hotel. Everything you could possibly want it there.

Agreed +1 ~ 6 hours lovelier.

Fixed it for ya.

Superb Tube Pre with MM Phono, Tubes included are quad of tung sol 6sn7, Pair of gold pin PsVane 12ax7 (in phono section) and a pair of Vintage 12au7.

It has performed flawlessly since approx. 100 hours. The only issue is the Mute LED stopped working. Very versatile and dead quiet tube pre-amp, The upgraded caps are the Jensen Copper coils done by Factory as part of the F-! upgrade 2100.00 Plus shipping Paypal accepted as well as cash check or money order SOLD

This may very well turn into an annual event. The location is not set in stone though. It may be further north in future years.

RIP Ernie.

Well, I'm only about 80 miles from there, so. 😂 -33 right now with the wind chill.

Wow - i am probably going to read this post a couple more times I do have a subwoofer Klipsch 10i. I have my fronts as Large - so will try changing that tonight to see if that changes anything. You know one interesting thing to mention is the SVS center seems to run effortlessly than the Klipsch fronts - i expected opposite. I will come back to this post.

My modest cinema room, put together with many years of savings

Mine varies with the circumstances but I've been on Weekend Standard Time for a while. Jeans, boots & t-shirts, don't give me no lip!

Your post has been out for 1 day, I'm sure someone else will have something to offer. Yeah, I miss $800 Klipschorns and $100 Heresys, too. Take a look around, $255 for a pair of woofers and networks shipped to MONTANA isn't close to eBay pricing. Jeff

I thought the exact same thing about Michigan, MSU, OSU, PSU....all the SUs Wisconsin, Iowa, MN, oh least we forget Rutgers. I think the best two teams played and the best won. They are in a different world next to the B1G.

Well Clemson came to New Orleans on 12 January 2020 and LSU gave them and their fans a big taste of something they are not used to........LOSING. 42 - 25 Joe Burrow re-sets four National Championship records smashing Clemson. GO TIGERS.

This is similar to what what I detailed here in this post: Glad you didn't fall for it!

I was wondering why the heck you posted that, but then saw it was in the JOKES section. I get it now. Didn't someone listen to his show before they booked him? In a slightly related story, I saw Aerosmith in Vegas a month or so ago. I was given free tickets, so I thought what the heck. The show was wonderful. Way beyond expectations. DLR, not so much.
