I have got another reply from a friend here regarding subwoofers. The Sunfire sub might be tricky to setup to get a proper sound together with the other speakers. The Sunfire sub might be "too powerful". I got the advice to check the Velodyne digital serie as DD-10, -12 and -18. Anyone which have compared the Sunfire with these Velodyne subs and ecpecially together with RF-7?

Thanks for your comments in this issue. I have to go for Sunfire after reading your replies. I have seen many competent answers from "TheEar" before which KNOWS what he is talking about. How many subs do you have? Best regards

Hello all Klipsch fans! Here is a another sub question and which is the best choice ( good bang for the buck.) The actual speaker setup is Klipsch RF-7,RC-7,RS-7. (Processor: Rotel RSP-1068, Ampl: Rotel RMB-1095) The sub should sound very well when playing music and movies. AND match the sound from the Klipsch speakers. I have two subs in my mind as: Klipsch RSW-12 (RSW-15 is not available in Europe, 230V/50Hz) Sunfire True Subwoofer EQ Signature edition. I'm very interested of getting your experiences in this matter and other good subs as well. (I do not have a money tree)

Thanks for all very constructive advices!:-) -About the RF-5. They are available here and is pricely just in the middle between the RF-35 and RF-7. I think I will always think about RF-7's if I choose RF-5 as mainspeakers. - RSW-15 is not available here in Sweden. Not available in 230V-50Hz and I think there is some problem with the CE certification. I'm sure that RSW-12 will rock my house anyway with help of 1kW, 2.4kW peak. Nice to think in kilowatts!! Carl: Regarding the surround speakers...It's very interesting to get the advice to use RB-75 instead of the RS-7. The aesthetical view is one important thing. It's possible to get the same colour/veneer than the other speakers. RS-7 is unfortenately only available in black or white. I understand that the sound will become much better when listening to music in Multichannel mode as DVD-Audio and SACD. But what about the movies? I was sure that Dipoles gives a special surround feeling that ordinary speakers can't reproduce and is essential for the correct Homecinema experience. What about the speaker distance to the listening position? Enough with 2-4 meters for the RB-75's? I have also got a hint regarding a matching receiver. ARCAM AVR300 with true Bi-Amp possibility. H-K sounds a little bit "too aggressive" together with Klipsch speakers according to one dealer. Maybe he is right? Otherwise is the H-K's interesting, AVR8500-not available today,DPR2005 and the coming AVR7300. I will see when it's time for the purchase of the equipment. My house is currently under repair and a larger living room as a result.

Thanks for your comments in my thoughts about my nextcoming home cinema setup! It's now clear that the RF-7,RC-7 and RS-7+RSW-12 is the correct choice. I'll hopefully never have to upgrade the speakers again. -It's quite expensive, but the RF-35's with friends are not free of charge either. However, it's interesting to read your comments about the surrounds, that the RB-75's are better than the RS-7's. I understand that DVD-Audio and SACD music will sound much greater. But,what about the placement of the speakers? The RS-7 will spread the sound more or less 180 degrees when the RB-75's are more "direction sensitive" which means that the sound will be perfect in a more restricted area compared with the RS-7's? Maybe this have no influense with correct distance from the listening positions? I have appr.3 meters from each wall to the sofa. I'm very grateful for experiences about RS-7 which have been replaced by the RB-75's. I have also some thoughts about the amplifier. I have looked at Harman Kardon receivers. I was first sure about the AVR8500 which can give a lot of current. Later on the new "Digital Path Reciever" DPR2005.I have found another Receiver which can offer true Bi-Amping in a 5.1 system by assigning the 6-7's channels to the front, Arcam AVR300. H-K will also soon release the AVR7300. Any ideas about the amplifier in this pricerange which can feed the RF-7 with friends from whispering to earthquaking volumes without hesitation?

...I have now been to my nearest Klipsch dealer and listened to the RF-35,Rc-35,RS-35+RW-10. The sound of the RF-35 is very clear and crisp. BUT, I miss the power hitting my chest. The speakers have to work good for both cinema and music and must be a real upgrade compared with my old JBL L80-T which have served me well during the years for music. The RF-35 does not give the same bass power as my JBL's so the RF-7 is the way I have to go in spite of my wallet let me to. No need of future upgrades then.The subwoofer has to be RSW-12 to match RF-7 as well. This means that the entire speakersetting will cost me more than double as I intended to spend from the beginning! The homecinema will then give a really powerful sound then. I presume that a bomb will sound as a bomb in my livingroom with Rf-7!!

*** Hello all Klipsch fans! *** I'm intending to buy Klipsch speakers for Home cinema and music. I have read a lot of good comments about Klipsch speakers at http://www.audioreview.com so my choice is easy, I'll go for Klipsch !!! The question now is: RF-7,RC-7,RS-7 ($7650 US) OR a cheaper variant RF-7,RC-7,RS-35 ($6990 US) OR RF-35,RC-35,RS-35 ($3575 US) All alternatives with the sub RW-12 included. This will be powered by Harman Kardon DPR2005 Receiver(7*120W @8 Ohms), when available(7ch=Bi-Amped Front speaker if the 6:th & 7:th channels are assignable) and the DVD multiplayer Denon DVD-2200. BUT, which model? RF-7 & friends is absolutely the best solution. They seems to be very powerful speakers with double 10" and 40 kg each. Real wood veneer in maple instead of dark plastic film design, black or cherry. The only minus here in Sweden is the cost. RF-7 family costs more than double than the RF-35 family. So, help me all Klipsch fans out there! Is the RF-7 setup worth the extra investment compared with RF-35 family? Should I then go for the RS-7 instead of RS-35 together with RF/RC-7? Thanks in advance for all experiences you have in this matter.
