I'm far from an expert but common sense would dictate that the modifications often discussed do indeed make this speaker a pleasure to own -- how else can we explain those who refuse to listen to anything else.f>s>

nice review Josh
I just bought the Dennis Hadd (Cary Audio) modified AE-25 off of Audiogon for $1000. I'm really happy with this amp.

i just think you are partial to Bose because you haven't heard K-horns yet
The 901 is the only speaker Bose makes that is even remotely listenable. It's produces a nifty effect.
The 901 needs a good equalizer. There are no highs at all. You will also need a good sub, because there is little output below 50Hz.
With a good equalizer and subwoofer, the 901 would do pretty good I think.
The downside with the 901 is that since all the drivers are full range - intermodulation distortion is very high at realistic sound pressure levels.
The Klipschorns would terribly embarrass the 901's in clarity, dynamics, realism, total output -- and all this, with very low levels of distortion.
Colin is right -- it is apples and oranges here. Also, keep in mind that you are comparing a $1500 pair of speakers to a $6000 pair of speakers.
If you want 80% of what the K-horn gives you at 1/3 of the price -- get some Klipsch RF7's.

Sorry I got testy Sinatra - I was out of line
Hey Ears - having heard the Cornwalls and owning the RF7's -- how would you describe the differences?
As far as comments to the effect that one kind of speaker is better suited for HT and another for music -- well, I'm not buying into that.
A speaker should be accurate. If it is -- it will do both equally well.

well...they will produce more bass - but they won't sound better overall
you need to start saving your money and get some SVS-ultras or a Klipsch RSW-15
what amp are you using with your RF7's?

Klipsch is still sold at many premium stores -- Carlin Audio in Dayton is one.
The powered towers you heard (RP3 & RP5) are not made anymore. I would imagine if the subs were not set correctly they might sound less than perfect.
The RB5's have been very well received with several postive reviews within the audiophile community.
The RF3's were the best received speaker by audio consumers in 2000 and Klipsch sold tons.
The new line does not sound like the old stuff - which is why I bought Klipsch after listening to Magnepans for 10 years.
You did not say which towers you heard -- but the RP3 originally retailed for $1500 and the RP5 for $2000. Not 'cheap' by my standards. If you saw a 'low price' it is because they are discontinued models.
Your post annoyed me. I compared the $800 RB5's to speakers costing $1500 and more. It dusted everything I heard.
If you like that old horn sound -- buy Heritage.

the sound of KLF's send me into convulsions too

mdeneen said: "Your RF7's are very narrow - which implies that you will get a great deal of reflected sound off the back wall."
Please elaborate on this a little - I don't really understand the relationship between the width of the speaker and sound coming off the back wall. By 'back wall' do you mean the wall behind the speaker -- or the wall behind me?
The wall behind me is waaay back behind me where the stairs are. I don't think I'm getting squat off that wall -- it's too far away.
also -- do you have an opinion on how close I can get to my side walls? I was thinking if I spread them apart a little more (and toed them in accordingly), I might recover some of the bass I lost when I brought them forward. What do you think? Yea, I know -- try it and see
but damn them things are heavy!------------------

Heresy II/Cary SLI-80 Weekend Home Audition
in 2-Channel Home Audio
Posted
Actually, the full blown version is $2000.
You can also buy these from Upscale Audio. The following link shows you the pricing options.
http://www.upscaleaudio.com/
These amps are not switchable between pentode and triode. They come wired in triode only. Each step up gives you a little more power.
With the efficiency of the Heresys, and the fact that you don't want to bankrupt yourself -- why not just buy the base model for $1200?
Or -- since I want to upgrade to the DJH version -- why not buy mine for $975. It comes with the upgraded oil filled caps, Kimber power cord, and has a built in volume control so you can run it CD direct. You can also use a preamp -- you just have to turn the volume control knob all the over.
