    RF 7 speaker spikes!

    in 2-Channel Home Audio

    Posted

    I'm confused. I understand where you put the spikes, in the holes normally used for the feet and the feet have a place for either the spikes or rubber inserts. However, are you saying that you have better sound with the spikes in the holes for the foot over using the spikes in the feet? If that is the case why would there be a difference between the two locations for the spikes? Do you think that the feet/spike combination has a different dampening factor vs the spikes directly attached to the speaker?

    anyone try the new Outlaw 950?

    in Home Theater

    I got my 950 7 months ago and still love the unit. True it doesn't have all of the latest and "greatest" processing modes, but for me it lacks nothing. I've got it mated to a Parasound HCA-855a and have NO bass problems. I feel that bass response is directly tied to the amp. The better the amp in terms of current and damping factor the better the bass. Just my opinion on that. My mains are RF-35's, center RCX-4, surrounds Quintets and KSW-10 for a sub. I will upgrade the surrounds and sub when money become available. But, back to the 950 I wouldn't trade in for anything.

    Torn between RF-25/35 versus Polk LSi9 (upgrade)

    in Home Theater

    Posted

    I can not comment on the Polk, however I listend to the RF-25's and 35's when I when looking for new speakers. I ended up with the 35's for several reasons. 1). The 25's had a mid bass rise that I did not care for. It added an unnatural bass sound to me. 2). The 35's sounded much more open than the 25's the sound stage became much larger with the 35's. 3). The 35's had a better sounding high end, smoother I would say. And for only $100 more how could I resist a higher quality speaker?

    Synergy SF-3 OR Reference RF-15?

    in Technical/Restorations

    Posted

    yaniva1,

    My only comment is the price on the RF-25's at $600. I got mine from a authorized dealer for $668 plus tax. Well, I guess I will comment further, I would consider a reference center speaker. The center speaker is the hardest working speaker in the whole setup. I had a synergy center and the dialog was lacking when we would watch a movie at times we would have to rewatch a scene be cause of "What did they say?" I never had that problem once I upgraded to a reference center.

    Belles in my local paper

    in Technical/Restorations

    Posted

    I just noticed a pair of Belles locally advertised. Not much info just that the person says they are in cherry, but I did not see a cherry finish listed for these speaker on this site. So, they must have mistaked another finish for cherry. The ad says make an offer. I have not called yet to find out what year they are or their condition. I am not familiar with this model, so what questions should I ask and what should I look for if I get to the point of looking at them?

    Thanks

    RB-10 MSRP?

    in General Klipsch Info

    Posted

    My mains are RF-35's and center is RCX-4. I had very little room for a center so this worked the best at the time. I got it last October, if I had known that there would be an RC-10 so soon I would have waited. However, I like the RCX-4 the dialog is very clear and fits me needs.

    RB-10 MSRP?

    in General Klipsch Info

    Posted

    Thanks everyone! From what I have read it seems that the MSRP is between $200-$250. My local authorized dealer will let them go for $169.00 before tax. I think I will get a pair for my surrounds soon.

    Thanks again.

    RB-10's

    in General Klipsch Info

    Has anyone given these a listen? I will try tomorrow if I have time. I am thinking of using them as my surrounds to replace the quintets I currenty have in the rear. Just looking for opinions on the sound.

    RF-7's - What Receiver?

    in Home Theater

    Posted

    I would like to second seperates over a receiver. I went with the Outlaw 950 Pre/Pro and a used Parasound 855A amp to drive my RF-35's. Sure their not in the same league as your 7's, but still sound nice to me. And they sound much nicer now with the seperates over the Pioneer receiver I replaced.

    Comments on Klipsch with Parasound

    in Home Theater

    Posted

    Well, it took a long time for tomorrow to come.2.gif At least from the point of posting my comments. I did my set-up as scheduled, but got lost in the music and movie world for awhile. I love the new sound I have coming from my 35's! The Parsound and Outlaw 950 pre/pro are a great mix with Klipsch. With 2 channel music the sound stage is at least 3-4 wider on each side of the speakers than before. With movies I am hearing sounds that I never herd before. This is a sweet set-up.

    Thanks everyone for the comments.

    Enjoy the music!!!
