Thanks Mark I found the discrepancy you described between the cut sheet and spec pages of the RS-7. The numbers I found before were pulled from a comparison chart while viewing the RF-35 system. The other numbers comparing the RS-25 and RS-35 lower extensions are consistent with the spec sheet, however. So unless both are misstated for the 35, it's puzzling to me why its bass extension isn't a little more robust. Mango

The Patriots will clinch their division (for what it's worth) after defeating Buffalo, and a Miami loss to San Diego.

I posted a thread on the technical questions forum about the specs of these speakers, and the curious lack of bass extension until you hit the RS-7: http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/643514/ShowPost.aspx7 :

Thanks for the reply Michael. I'm certainly no expert in what makes one speaker sound better than another. I agree that the RS-35 probably has other attributes due to its larger woofer, it just seemed odd to me that, concerning the one parameter of bass extension, it would score lower(albeit negligibly lower) than the RS-25 which has a woofer that is 1.25 inches smaller in diameter. In fact the RS-10 has basically the same extension as the 35, and it has a woofer that is a full 2.5 inches smaller. On the other hand the RS-7 which has a woofer only 1.5 inches larger than theRS- 35 extends down to 49 Hz, a value rivaling a lot of mains. I guess I always incorrectly assumed that for a given speaker manufacturer's line of similarly designed speakers, as those in this family, larger woofers meant deeper bass extension in the bandwidth spec. It seems the more I know the less I understand loudspeakers! I feel your comment about the rear channels not needing much bass extension, Michael (probably just much obsession about nothing on my part), but what about music mixed in surround formats like DVD-A or SA-CD, do they not utilize the rears for lower frequencies?To see the spec comparisons of the speakers discussed above go here: http://www.klipsch.com/media/Products/Ref%20Brochure.pdf

Check out the freq. response of these two speakers on the website.Why is the 35 rated down to 81Hz, while the 25 is rated down to 79Hz?(The RS-7,and RS-10 are rated down to 49Hz, and 82Hz, respectively). I called Klipsch tech support, and the guy couldn't answer my question to my satisfaction. The only difference I can see between these two satellite speakers is the size of the woofer which is larger in the 35, so what gives?
