Daryl, It is time. Time to slide a pair of RF-7's and a QSC power amp into that system of yours. Your movies would literally come alive. Don't be denied.

Ray You have a PM.

Yes, I'm sure the CF-4 can push the RF-5 down the block any day of the week. But if you see his big brother coming around the corner.......a word to the wise. RUN LIKE HELL!!!

[ I just recently got a factory refurbished Denon AVR-1906 to use with my RF-35s, RC-7, and RS-7s. I plugged it in today and noticed a very audible amount of fuzz coming from the tweeters of all the speakers. ] Banasikdrummer I thought I'd chime in on this one because I also bought a refurbished Denon AVR-1906 from JandR.com back in December. It exhibits a problem very similar to yours! I messed around and didn't notify them until it was too late for their 30-day warranty so I might be stuck with it. They claim that for any kind of warranty work I'd have to try the manufacturer. After a short delay, it hisses until turned down or off. Mine does function in stereo mode so I operate it with my RF-5's as a 2.1 out in my living room for now. I haven't read all the posts in this thread, but I'm pretty sure it's the receiver's malfunction because I am fairly familiar with this one as I have another 1906 which serves as my processor in my home theater in my back room. It has worked flawlessly for several years.

Mark, Do you know what hooks to the speaker wire in order to access those Speakon outputs?

I don't even know what the difference between 2-ohm, 4-ohm, or 8-ohm is. Just curious as to whether not having 2-ohm would be a problem with this amp and the RF-7. Sounds like there's no problem at all. I have an Acurus 3x200 to run my RC-7 and my RF-5 surrounds. I hope my world is indeed rocked. Thanks.

Hello, everyone. I've ordered a QSC PLX 1104 which I have found out since does not support a 2-ohm load. I'm trying to power my RF-7's for music and occasional HT. Is this no 2-ohm thing a significant problem? Should I return it and reorder one of the models that does have 2-ohm or should I just hook it up and go? THANKS for any help you could give me on this.

Lou, This perception that doubling your wattage will double your audio output is stiflingly bogus. In my limited audio understanding, a two-way speaker, that has 100 watts available to it originally, would use about 12% of that power for the operation of the tweeter and about 88% for the operation of the woofers or potentially 12 watts and 88 watts, respectively. When you biamp, since you attach one 100 watt amp to the HF and one 100 watt amp to the LF you then have 100 watts available to the tweeter, which does not need a power increase to operate. And you increase power available to the LF/woofers from 88 watts to 100 watts. So, where you need the added headroom or increased power to the low frequency/ woofers you have now gone from about 88 watts available to 100 available which is about 14%. This increase to your low frequency power causes an increase in output of about squat. This is oversimplified and was not intended to be an audiologically sound explanation, but I hope it illustrates to you how biamping with your Denon doesn't double your available power or provide increased headroom where you might want it.

I'm someone who biamped my RF-7's with my Denon 2106 using the 6th and 7th channel amps, thinking that it would provide headroom for my low-frequency woofers(the Denon receivers will allow this). In fact, I've learned since, there's still only 100 watts available to the woofers of the tower, causing almost zilch difference from the original wiring scheme. Hope this helps.

Clarence, I'd like to step forward and recommend the Velodyne DLS-5000R. 600 watts continuous/ 1000 watts dynamic. delivered from digitalcraze.com ?? for about $650. I've had several low-dollar Velodynes and this one seems credible for that kind of money. Used subwoofers from my experience tend to slam around in loosely packed boxes obliterating corners and grills. But, I don't have issues with that sort of thing ....... at all. Good luck.

Daryl, I was the one who got that RSW-10. I had been looking for a deal on one for some time. I t was your post that alerted me to it. Thanks. Hope it is as good a deal as it seems to be.
