m00n, I feel your pain! I've made goofs like this before. I know it's painful to hear now, but the RS-7 is a heck of a lot better, as you'd expect. The RS-3s are very good, but the 7 is in another league, in my opinion.

My beautiful RF-7s got a dent the first week. Almost killed me. Put the grills back on, and neither they or my living room look as good any more. My RB-3s, which were on a nightstand got a dent too. I'm not sure how either happened (maybe the dog wagged his tail on the RF-7s?). It's a shame, because Klipsch is right when they say that some customers will prefer to have their new Reference series without the grill. The cones really do look great, but given that they dent so very easily, Klipsch may want to stop suggesting that people do that. It doesn't seem to affect the sound, only the aesthetics, which, of course, is the reason someone would choose to show the copper cones. Otherwise, I love the new RFs, just wish they more dent resistant cones that I could show off!

Can I get one of the Special Collector's Edition stickers too?

Mine say 250.

Thanks, Theears That's exactly what I was thinking. If Bob Carver could do so much in such a tiny box with tiny drivers, I would love to see what he could do with dual 18's. That would be unbelievable. I'd be scared of such a beast - but I'd want one!

I recently received the Sunfire Super Jr. I won it in an AudioRevolution contest I had entered for a Sunfire pre-amp. I got second prize, and I was thrilled (not that I needed more subs, but who could not WANT another sub?). Unfortunately, I didn't get to run it through too many tests. I was selling my Denon 5700 when I got it, and now I'm waiting for an Outlaw 950, so it may not get much more testing for a while! What I can say is that, when I opened the box it came in, I had to call everyone over. It it shockingly small, almost looks like a toy. I expected it to be small, but this was amazing. But looks deceive (and perhaps size doesn't matter after all - or at least not as much as you think!) It seems really well built, and is really heavy for its size. As for performance, it was impressive, all least for the short time I had something to hook it up too. It had more impact than my Klipsch LF-10 (which has broken in nicely, and I enjoy), but not nearly as much impact as my Sunfire Signature, as I expected (both these little subs look huge by comparison to the Super Jr.!) It blended in well with my system, and was nice and tight. It's really a great little (really little) sub. Bob Carver really pulled it off. Theears, there has to be a closet or bathroom in your house that still doesn't have a sub, I think you'd really like one of these! I still want to get an SVS one day, but I can't criticize this little guy, even without breaking in, it was really pumping it up.

Thanks, HornEd. The C7s do seem like they would make some excellent front effect speakers.

Montigue, Sorry they're mahogany! Reserve's $759, so I hope they sell soon, would prefer to sell to someone on this board who would appreciate them more.

HornEd, Great to see you back! Just in case you decide that only two more KLF-30s will do as front effects speakers, I have my set on sale at Ebay right now. Of course, if you do that, you could probably sell tickets to your living room (I'd pay to hear that!), though I imagine it would be major overkill. thanks George

Thanks, theears There's nothing wrong with good music in the bathroom, I say go for it! I'm thinking of putting a sub in the kitchen, a little Sunfire Super Junior, it's my only room except the bathroom without a sub. Though your arsenal of subs, theears, is clearly the stuff of legends.

Hi, All, I'm selling my Legend 30s, mahogany in mint shape, and wanted to give you guys here, who would appreciate them the most, a shot. I'd rather sell locally, as they're huge and weigh a ton. Please let me know if you're interested. Hey, has anyone heard from HornEd? Maybe he could use an extra pair for the bathroom! Thanks George I hope it's okay to post here until we get (I hope!) a Klipsch classifieds section

theears, I know how you feel. One of the woofers on my RF-7s has a small dent now too. Almost killed me when I first noticed it a couple of weeks ago. I love having the grills off, but had to start putting them on. It's really painful. They must be very sensitive. Doesn't seem to affect the sound, but it kills me to look at it. George

Sorry the picture attachment was so big - I have to shrink it next time!

Here's my dog and the copper cones.

KlipschKid, That looks a little like my dog. He was playing with two of his dog pals, and I think they bumped one of the cones, it has a little bump there now, so I may start using the grills. It almost killed me, the first inperfection in something shiny and new. It's funny, though, I've had a lot of people over, and in almost every case, even the people who don't like to see "all that electronics stuff" and those huge "men's toys" preferred them with the grills OFF. Though they look good with the grills on, too, the copper cones really go well with the cherry, it's a great match. Like your dog, KlipschKid, do you think I could teach mine to go "fetch" me an RSW-15 too? George

theears, I've been looking forward to your review of the RSW-15 for a long time. I can't wait. Hope one comes your way soon George

1. Cherry 2. Grills off

KlipschKid, Nice dog. Is that an Australian Shepherd?

Cambridge Soundworks makes tiny speakers in white, too, they get better overall reviews (not many people hate them), and they're a fraction of the price of the Bose. We can use those for our scam!

I have all four (but KLF-30s instead of 20s), and they're all great. Fortes are really wonderful speakers, many love them more than the Chroruses and feel they are better overall speakers. I prefer the Chorus, they're just more of a good thing (but I have to warn you they are BIG, thet make the Fortes look small, which they're not). Extremely dynamic and everything you listen to is an emotional experience. I found the Legend 30s a little smoother and, to me, more pleasing for music. And the RF-7 are very much like a cross between the RF-3s and the Legend 30s, with more detail and a better soundstage. Almost as much slam as the 30s (which I think have less slam than the Chorus), but better detail and even smoother, and a little less colored than the Choruses. I have to sell one of these (I'm keeping the RF-7s), I think I'll sell the 30s, because the Chroruses and RF-7s are the most different from each other. But if I could, I would keep them all, they're all different, and frankly I like them all for different reasons. No dogs in the bunch.

Looks like the Acuruses are sold. There was a lot of interest in them.

Ray, you crack me up. I read the message before I saw who it was, and I thought, oh, no, maybe I offended someone who really thought that. Thanks for all the advice you've given me, Ray, it's great fun getting feedback from you. When I talked to Ray the other day and told him I liked the Naim better than the Acurus, he said "Duh" too, pretty much like theears, pointing out that it was a much higher end amp. I got the Naits used, so I didn't realize how much they're worth new, but they are really awesome amps. I enjoy every minute of music now, and hope to be doing so with home theater, too, soon. Dr. Pyro, I talked to the Naim dealer, who said that I could mix the Nait 2s and NAP 140s, although he did recommend 4 140s better (I'd have to sell the two Nait 2s I have for that). The Nait 2s are integrated amps, the NAP 140s just amps, and they're a little beefier (not that the Naits seem to lack anything). They did recommend that I get NAPs from about the same time period for best matching, so I'll have to be aware of that. I imagine, Dr.Pyro, that the 150s must be amazing. theears, I saw all the Moons at the SimAudio web site, boy they look great. That Titan made me drool. I'll start saving. For now, I'm really looking forward to four of the little Naim boxes. Thanks, all, for your help.

Kevin, If only I lived near Michigan, my car would already be at your driveway! That's a great deal you're offering. George

Thanks, Ray!

I think a number of people on this board have this sickness. It's one of the few sickness you can enjoy having!
