Schu

sounds like a plan to me OP... hey that rhymes

to me that looks very nice... nice specs. for 200 bucks how bad could it be?

Spare parts?

^lol...

I think those are black in lakewood if I am not mistaken. there has someone in lakewood trying to get rid of a pair of la scalas forever. FYI... I grew up in Lakewood (Artesia High School).

three things immediately come to mind... source material issues room correction or LP layout issues possible Cross Over Issues if you have never owned a klipsch speaker, they are EXTREMELY efficient.... that can mean it magnifies poor sound. The heresy is a great little speaker if you are in slightly smaller tight spaces, if you are in larger spaces and are trying to drive them at higher outputs, you are going to get more distortions from either signal degradation or room reflections. I guess we need a little more info from you. Is your Amplifier a solid state unit?

He then said it would be the newest version of either speaker. my bad... sorry about that so true, there is nothing like new... unless it's buying used in new condition and saving a LOT of money.

the more I look at them... the more they look like vinyl veneered. I have seen that before on other models and have owned some myself.

$100 bucks?

I'm kind if interested in the HF section W/O the motorboards for a custom horn install. let me think about this a little more. Good luck with the sale at any rate.

I guess it depends on what we are talking about. If we are talking about any one speaker in our front soundstage sounding different than the other two it would be a problem, imo. That said, I actually wonder how much difference there is in any of these speakers and if mix-n-matched would there be positive and negative attributes people could pick up without knowing which speaker was which. One thing we can all agree on--dean's crossovers are going to look better than what came out of those RF-7IIs. I agree... it can matter and does matter to most. I do recognize that there are timbre differences in every speaker system, and in a lot of instances... vast differences, but my ref center has become "fairly" seamless with my cornwalls with the application of a little creative EQ'ing. It surely was not seamless right out of the box and would never be if I ran my EQ flat. I have to emphasis the word "Fairly" in relation to seamless... and more so now that Deans work has cleaned up and focused my CW's.

I thought OP said RF7... not RF7II

wow... I love properly run wiring and a clean install. I wish I had the skill sets to build something like this.

almost to good? possibly refinished?

current generation Heritage series Cornwalls versus old generation Reference series 7's? CW's every time... but that is a personal choice, nothing more.

German?

I use my ears... next

http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lgb/msg/4351636751.html more goodness from so call... $1,000

http://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/ele/4357032548.html SUPER CLEAN... more than fair price $1500

wow... how worldly, very very nice and thanks for sharing.

the tinning work is exceptional

those HF sections are interesting... your pricing the motor boards separately? those three pictures are of the same speaker correct? is the other speaker in similar condition? is that a veneer piece missing on the top corner or is that wood color?

TY Sir... has it served you well?

for sure... I am still not 100% committed but that would be cool if you could do that if I decide to go that way Hey Schu, the older ones listed @ $2k are mine and I am open to offers. Clay TY clay... I am still in the collating phase. I have some Original LS's around here locally. GL to you with your sale though ---------------------------------------------------------- still no text back from the CLposter
