No it was the customers. I was working at the Marinda Del Rey store in
L.A, and I would routinely see cutomers take off the grills and push on
the cone woofers. Since I couldn't get fired, I regularly chastised
stupid people for doing that because someone like you guys would wanna
buy em' one day.
For that very reason I hid all my stuff in the back all bubble wrapped
and safe. I struck a deal with one of the liquidators and walked away
with 2 RF-7's, 2 RS-7's, a RC-7, a velodyne II 12 cherry sub, a monster
power center signiture 5100 and a cannon EOS 20D digital camera for
2,000 bucks.
Unfortunatly we never carried the RSW 15, but I'm enjoying the sweet velodyne.

Now I have another problem. In my rear RS7 whenever a higher frequency
comes up I hear this horrible metallic static sound. Almost like some
kind of magnetic interferance. Fearing it was damaged I switched it to
the other side of the room and it worked perfectly. I put my other RS7
in its place and it produced the same problem. I even tried my RS35 and
it made the same noise in that spot. I don't think it's the wiring
since I don't think wiring produces that response, could this be my
reciever again?

Then it has to be my cheap *** reciever.
Have any of you guys tried outlaw?? Since they sell through the
internet there's not any way to really "audition" them without
commiting to a purchase with their 30 day money back deal. Seems like
there must be some sort of catch for the price.
-
Yes, that was the first troubleshoot I performed. I turned it down from
-20 db to -35 db and still heard the exact same distortion. I even
tried it at -45 db and still heard it.

Oh yeah, the sound design is amazing. I haven't heard a system work
like that since Return of the King. The track is bass heavy though, but
that seems to be the only instance where I hear any sort of distortion.
Check out the Ferry crossing sequence where heavy bass is apparant as
the tripods sound their horns and lumber by. My sub has been handling
it nicely, I'm starting to think it has something to do with the
audio compression of the 5.1 mix.

When I was working as a salesman at Goodguys, we used to have Bose reps
come out and give us product classes and his speech went something like
this :
"You know the guy who comes in here and has a great ear and knows what
he wants? Well thats not our guy, our audience consists of folks who
just want no hassle and want something that looks luxurious"
The rep actually said that his company is for the ignorant and they
know they can't compete with actual audiophile quality equipment. The
point is Bose's whole approach is they don't care what we (people who
take massive pride in their listening pleasure) think, because they
don't consider us a market for their products. They want to dominate
the Home theater in a box crowd. Cept' their crap looks nicer and costs
more. We're basically to bose what california is to Republicans and
Democrats, they just couldn't care less what we have to say.
-
I think I've repeated this argument with my girlfriend over and over
again. She seems to think Bose is the end all be all of audio
greatness. I think women just have a weird thing for bose because they
are "cute" and go along with an ikea set up. She also despises my set
up, which is the entire Reference 7 set up, "she can't hear the
difference" she says. I guess that what we get for living in the age of
the IPod, where everything has to be tiny.

I actually tried that and the same thing happened. I think you're
right, I know that Kenwood attempted to enter the high end market with
their sovereign line and failed miserably and now I know why. I bought
that amp when I was seventeen and didn't know jack. At the moment I'm
looking into the Denon AVR4806 (considering I've got a lot of pals at
Magnolia who went there after the Goodguys layoffs, I can get it for
cost), I've also been intrigued by Outlaws 990 processor and their
combo amp packages.

There's a bunch of plot holes in that movie you can drive a truck
through, but I tried not to think about it and just took it strictly
from the point of view of the survivors. I think it's a truly scary
film in that sense. Especially the scene where the Tom Cruise and his
family get overtaken in their car by that panic stricken mob, very
scary stuff.
Just overlook the fact that I think giant war machines buried deep
underground, million of years ago would have been brought to the
surface somewhere by erosion and the shifting of the earth.

I just got laid off from Goodguys, but managed to walk away with two
RF-7's, an RC-7 and a pair of RS-7's and a SPL12II velodyne sub for
about 2,000 bucks. I know they are all in perfect condition, since I
was a salesman and knew the things never got hooked up.
I plugged them into my Kenwood VR-5900 reciever. Everything sounds
perfect, but I was watching War of the Worlds the other night and in
the scene where the tripod first emerges out of the interesection and
the dumb founded dip shits gather around in awe, the tripod releases a
very low frequency horn, which distorted heavily in the lower frequency
portion of the sound in my center channel. Fearing that my RC-7
was damaged, I swapped out my center with my RF-7 and it repeated the
same distortion at that exact moment. Is it my reciever clipping at
that frequency or is it some problem inherent in the audio compressoin
of the DVD?? Anyone else have this problem?
Entire Klipsch Referance 7 line up for Sale
in Home Theater

Well the day I always dreaded has arrived I am putting up my entire speaker system for sale.
The package includes
2 RF 7s in Cherry
1 RC 7 in Cherry
2 RS 7 in Black
The RF 7s are in perfect working order, they have minor scuffs on the top of their cabinets. One of the grills is broken. It stays on there but if you look closely three of the pegs on the grill are
broken.
The RS 7s are flawless and work great.
The RC 7 is perfect besides two chips on it's backside. Works like new.
I am only offering pick up only for these items, unless someone wants to pay for a pickup and packaging service to come pick them up. I live in Los Angeles California.
My price is 2,500.
if you are interested or have any questions, please feel free to e-mail me at Wperdomo.crap@gmail.com
Thanks.
