Just wanted to let everyone know that I was able to return the RF-7s, but I was charged a 15% restocking fee. Also I didnt get my money back but store credit. This would be fine but the dealers only other audio product is Bose. Maybe I will end up with a t.v. or something. By the way the whole time I had the RF-7s they rocked for DVDs but werent great for music. I have no doubt that with an high end amp and DeanG crossovers they could of sounded much better, but I just want some thing that I dont have to tinker with to find a good sound. Thanks for the advice,and Rock On!!!

First let me thank everyone who offered advice. It is much appreciated. I went to my local speaker store where I bought the RF-7s and talked to the owner awhile. He thought that my yamaha receiver was an aweful mate to the RF-7's so he let me take an Onkyo TX-SR702 out on loan. I just got done listening to some things with the new amp hooked up and I must say that it really did make things much tighter and warmer. But the treble still hurts my ears at any decent volume. (Not any were near as much as my yamaha) I know that I may be able to smooth out the highs more with an even better amp, but I just think I would be happier with different speakers. I am going to TRY and return them tomorrow. I have been reading posts on these Klipsch forums for a month now and I must say that the help here is second to none. Thanks again for your time and advice.

I have an older Yamaha RX-V992 receiver hooked up to my new RF-7s and it sounds fine at lower levels but at medium to higher volumes its much to harsh. I was wondering if I bought a Harmon Kardon AVR 7300 reciever if it would help to bring the brightness down. Is there any amp or any way to bring the brightness down on the RF-7's. I have around a 1500 us dollar budget for an amp/receiver. I have read that Harmon Kardon, Marantz, and Rotel all work well with brighter speakers. What do you think is the best way to warm the sound up?
