I do have a "modern" home theater and althought we may have 7 discrete channels of sound, Klipsch must have thought there was some reason to create an rs-7 type surround speaker. Even the top of the line flagship THX ultra model offers a bi-polar type speaker for surrounds. You must remember that sound is subjective what I like you may not and what you like I may not. I think if you have good quality equipment to drive your Klipsch speakers you will be happy.

I have a dedicated Klipsch reference 7.1 home theater. I use rf-7's for mains, rc-7 for the center and 4 rs-7's for the surround and the back surrounds. I used the rb-7's for surrounds for a while but I like the sound of the rs-7's better. I like to listen to my theater loud, I use ATI 250 watt per channel amps and I have no complaints. With rb-7's I could tell exactly where the sound was comming from. With the rs-7's it is more of a diffused sound. It gives me more of a 360 deg. sound field with no gaps when the sound pans from speaker to speaker. In a theater I like the sound of the rs-7 better for live concert dvd's and movies.

This is a picture of my dedicated home theater. I have all Klipsch reference speakers, RF-7's, RC-7 and RS-7's. It is a 7.1 set-up with ATI amps @ 250 watts per channel. I love my Klipsch set-up. I can watch a live concert DVD and listen to it at live concert levels! How cool is that? You will also notice I have 4x 15" subwoofer drivers in the front of my stage running with a QSC pro-audio amp @ 400 watts per channel. My theater is 14'x21' and needless to say I have plenty of bass. Thanks for looking.

I have a chance to buy one or the other at the same price. I do not have a chance to listen to either one before purchase. I am sure they would both be great but I am looking for some feedback from owners or people who have heard them. I have a 7.1 reference setup. I have RF-7 mains, RC-7 center and 4 RS-7 rears. I like live concert dvd's and action movies. I was running this system in 5.1 with a Marantz MM9000 5x150. I sounded good but I wanted a little more because i like it LOUD AND CLEAR. Any input would be helpful. Thanks

I picked up my RF-7s that I ordered from a local dealer. I waited 2 and 1/2 weeks to get brand new in the box, instead of floor models. I noticed alot of tape on the bottom of the boxes. When I opened them first thing I noticed was that the feet where already attached to the speakers. Is this done at the factory now? The owners manual was scotch taped shut. Do the speakers still come with the owners papers in a nice black folder? There was no folder in these boxes. My RF-5s did not have the feet on and they had a black folder. If someone made a purchase recently and can answer my questions please let me know so I can return for a "real" new pair.
