Holland

@collin, I could probably boost up the bass with the amp, but then I mess up the whole "picture" a bit. A sub would probably be a better addition, but good subs are just soooo expansive. And ironwoods, I don;'t want to buy second hand. Just some bad experiences some friends of mine had with that. And besides, even if I did, second hand klipsches are really really hard to find around here And like I said before, good european speakers will cost me the same amount of money. But I will definitely (did I spell that right?) go and listen to some other branches before I decide to spend a small fortune on equipment. I just kind of liked the "pure" sound coming from the klipsches. And even though I know sound is a personal emotion, other peoples oppinions or suggestions are always nice to hear. If I want to buy monopole speakers, it would probably have to be the RB-75's since I have to wall-mount them... But I don't think I'm going to listen a lot of multi-channel music.

That's some quick replies! And that so early in the morning (well, for you guys anyway )! Dr-dezibel, I know I should listen to all speakers before buying, it was just that he didn;t have the rf-7's and i just wanted to hear some oppinions before telling the guy to go and arrange some with the european importer. Not that he really minds I think. As for the prices, I know they are quit steep to you guys, but it's just the prices for this quality speakers in europe. I would pay about the same for equal speakers of other brands (B&W, Dynaudio...). It's the same with cars, gasoline, cd's, dvd's. Us poor europeans just have to live with that knowledge And yes, I am looking for a complete home cinema package, but I wouldn't mind if I couldn't buy everything at once with my budget. I can always expand later (surrounds, center). If I run out of money I will have to stop buying and start savind for more I looked it up on the internet and a rf-7 will indeed cost me about 1500 euros (1800 us$, 2500 ca$) a piece. It would probably be cheaper if I just bought them in the us and ship them over here (even including taxes and transport) but then there's always the guarantee issue. And I don;t think the european importer will help me much if I go and buy them behind his back I didn;t know wether to get the rc-35 and rs-35's (1400 euro's in total) or the rc-7 and rs-7's (2900 euro's in total) but as I'm reading more and more on this forum I'm guessing the rc-7 and rs-7's are a lot more quality even with the great price difference. So I'm guessing I will just have to call the guy and make him arrange for a pair of rf-7's, a pair of rs-35's and a pair of rs-7's, a rc-35 and a rc-7 and probably a rw-10, a rsw-12 and a rsw-15, even though I'm guessing a sub will make me go way over my budget Let the guy work for his money I will probably be hooking them up to a nad t-753 a/v receiver (I listened to the rf5's on a vincent amp, so I will have to check out the sound with the nad) since I think 70 watts a channel is more then enough for the klipsch, since they are extremely sensitive. This part just to complete the info.

Hi! I'm a dutch guy looking for a really great home-cinema system. I would normally just ask this on a dutch forum, but since klipsch is a fairly unknown brand in europe (i never heard about klipsch before yesterday) nobody could help me out... So excuse my english On saturday I've been to a store were they sold the klipsch rf series and the guy selling it was completely crazy about it. I've listened to the rf-5's for about 2 hours and I thought they sounded great, especially with music like jazz, blues and rock music. The thing is, I like listening to house music (if you know it: Chemical brothers, Fat boy slim, Faithless) and I kind of missed the deep-bass you can feel inside (not the sort of bass that make your glasses dance out of your closet). I was wondering if this was solved by using a subwoofer (rw-10 or rsw-12)? Other question(s)...: In numerous posts here on the forum I read that the rf-7's are much better than the rf-5's. The problem is that he didn;t have them at the store (not that I would have thought about asking, since I never heard of the brand before ). I could probalbly get him to arrange for them for a day at the the european importer so I could listen to them. But...: 1) My living room is 6.2 meters long and 3.6 meters wide, which should be around 20 feet long and 12 feet wide. My tv sits in the middle of the 12 feet wall, with my front speakers left and right to the wall. My chair stands in the middle of the room, which is about 10 feet from either my tv and the front speakers. I have a wooden floor and not much standing in the room. The question is, will the rf-7's not be too "big" for my room? 2) This question has more to do with my budget. Since speakers are much more expensive in europe (especially holland) then they are in the usa/canada I would like to know if the extra costs for the rf-7's would weigh up to the sound-improvement. To just give you the numbers, and I don't exactly know the prices of the rf-7s...: The rf-5's will cost me 2000 euro's a pair, which, with the current rates, will be about 2400 us dollars. The rf-7's will cost me at least 3600 dollars a pair, butI think even more (i would have to ask the guy for excact prices). Is it worth listening to the rf-7's at all or would you say they are to expansive for their sound? I hope this story wasn't too long for you all and I hope someone can give me some good advise. Next saturday I'm going to listen to some other speakers at an other store, bt after that I will probably go to the first store again and listen to the rf-5's again, but now with the help of a subwoofer. See if that helps. i could always then ask him to arrange for the rf-7's to listen to when it's worth it. Thanks in advance
