Welcome to the forum. Are you looking for Home Theater or 2 channel?

I think the MK2 may use Monster speaker wire but they are essentially the same.

Fwiw, I think one should consider an amp/AVR that's rated to drive 4 Ohm Speakers (If you are going to listen @ high SPLs) and not necessarily the Watts per channel. That's my take.

True. Otoh, the RF-7 has a horn tweeter, but 2 10" LF drivers so the efficiency of the horn needs to be mated to those drivers which evidently needs more power to drive. It seems to give the speaker a more jagged Frequency Response Curve and doesn't make the RF-7 a legitimate 8 Ohm speaker....

Does that mean it's more about the current delivered than thinking in terms of watt-per-channel? Fwiw, I'm a multichannel music/home theater guy and feel the impedance dips in the RF-7s was what one should consider (along with max volume) when matching a power source. That's my 2 cents.

The ones I mentioned have the best reputation although the Dual THX models were up there if you got a good amp. I have no experience with the newer models but when you get over 10 years I'd be concerned with the amp going.

Fwiw, I bought the RSW 12 & 15 new exactly 20 years ago and they really are considerably better than the KSW line or anything since, imo. The RSW-15 weighs 85 lbs, has a 650 watt continuous/2400 watt dynamic Bash digital hybrid amp and hits pretty tight in the lower end. They both are still going strong and gotta admit I'm surprised...Of course, buying that old of a sub used is a gamble. That's my take.

Another thing to check is that your terminal jumpers for the speaker wire is connected.

Doh! Got me again.

Ha! She had the added benifit of inviting *troublemakers* to purgatory as an alternative to banning folks to keep the Forum lively. 😎 Btw, if you start one of those, I'm sure you'll have some of us follow and bring our boots! 🤠

Hi Amy. Hope you are doing well and I wouldn't recommend starting a Forum. 🤐

Fwiw, that dude is using Taoism in medicine, just as folks seem to be doing here in audio--both are appropriate to the one who finds deeper meaning. That's my take.

Not that simple nor that funny...Fwiw, I don't think supporting Ukraine has kept any funding away from the American people. Good post.

What's the price?

You guys are GREAT! This flowed well. Any idea of a ballpark cost including $100 insured? {Edit Note: I will follow the link chain but curious before going that route.}

It's been a while since I've shipped anything and wonder if US Mail and a small box would suffice? How much to ship these in the US? Thanks.

Count me in!

Have you checked your speaker connections? Sounds like it could also be a wire touching at the avr or the speaker.

Fwiw, I think our biggest problem is people don't pay attention to REAL News if they don't agree with what's being reported from/about The people in the News.

Our society doesn't and one can change the channel. Fwiw, I think people are frustrated that there's so much in the News the don't like. That's one of the the reasons they go to Social Media, to complain and/or try to spread disinformation..,"main stream" media cracked down on it and the main Social Media sites are doing the same so government doesn't get involved... Meanwhile, it's nice to see out-n-out fake media sites and those sprwading falsehoods going to court and having judgements against them. That's my take.

Ha! It appears quite a few folks want that as their free speech. I still contend that's a minority whose business model can't survive.

Dunno. That's why I didn't understand why it was brought up in this thread.

Fwiw, I don't think an "anything goes" approach is going to make it because most folks don't want to sift through the garbage and propaganda to form an opinion--at some point it gets exposed.

Yeah. This also.
