Just added the RS-7s to my Legends' lineup. Very nice match and at $599 a pair, a no brainer.
Cheers,

Jason, before you do anything really expensive, do yourself a HUGE favor and try this cheap tweek...bi-wire your main speakers. When I first bought my KLF-20s I was so unhappy with the sound the first few days, I was about to haul them back for a refund. As a last ditch effort, I removed the golden bridge and bi-wired them and that helped smooth them out considerably.

Jason, bi-wire your speakers and see if this smooths out the sound. Let us know your reaction.

Hi, Ed. I can sense the tone of frustration in your note. Two quick suggestions before you do anything drastic. First, if you haven't tried bi-wiring your mains, give it a try with at least 12 guage wire. Second, I was under the impression that ATI amps were a bit harsh with a Klipsch setup. Try a Rotel amp. The high end is slightly rolled off by design and mates well with Klipsch. Very sweet combo. Let us know how it turns out!!!

Doug, I think you meant RF-7s for $1600? I actually just bought a pair of RS-7s in white for $599 plus shipping.

Had been waiting for the RS-7's to be introduced to add quality surrounds to my setup. Had been running an old pair of Pioneer 3-ways as surrounds prior to getting the Klipsches. I listen mostly to HT movies and the improvement is dramatic. Very smooth sounding speakers, enveloping, with a huge soundstage. They seem to be an excellent match with my Legend speakers up front. Very happy with this addition.

Just ordered a pair of RS-7 surrounds in white for $599. There is a three week wait for the whites. RS-7 speakers in black are available, but you may also have to wait for the whites. Haven't heard these babies yet, just going on faith.

dcb, if you get a chance to bi-wire your 20's, please let us know your reaction. Thanks.

dcb, have you tried bi-wiring those KLF-20's?

Alynmar, if you wait a couple of months (like I am) you'll also have an opportunity to check out the newest Klipsch rear surround, the RS-7. It's apparently a "supersized" version of the RS-3 and recently debuted at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

George, I've wanted to add surrounds to my KLF-20 and C-7 setup. Was going to add the RS-3 surrounds. Are you implying that the new RS-7 surrounds will be the new match for my Legends setup?
KSP-S6 or RS-7 ?

Make that three votes for the RS-7/Legends combination. Just recently added a pair for HT listening and they are indeed seemless and sweet.
