I'm aware, they're listed up there too. I'm desperate though, cause I sold the crown, and they're taking up a bunch of space.............
About to take them up to the local pawn shop

"120 dB with or without a subwoofer?"
Doesn't matter, my sub will do 120 on it own (4 18's), it has trouble keeping up with the rf-7's, not the other way around.
I can't say enough about the 7's. Sorry yours aren't working out, I'd try different placement; it's everything.

I'll vouch for denon. I've used the 1906 and 1907. Solid. You can find them for under $250 online too. They're known for bass management (lots of crossover settings), and dry/natural tone, where hk I read is warm, yamaha bright, etc

Looks sweet. What are you going to power it all with?
Also, what I said about the reference stuff. The last thing you want is to spend a thousand or two, hear a three thousand dollar system, and be pissed you didn't fork up the other thousand. Called buyers remorse. You'll be happy with yours until you hear a better one. Everyone has to deal with it. Unless you go to the top of the chain, which few people can financially do.
I started with modestly priced rf-15's on sale at ultimate electronics for $400 and within 9 months time bought dean g'd rf-7's for triple that. It's addicting
A good general rule is to spend as much as you can, because lets say you buy what you have listed, and then decide you want rf-63 mains, and then want the matching center, and then want more subwoofage, and then want matching surrounds. You just spend way more money if you "upgrade" instead of buying stuff outright, because you lose so much in resale.
Have fun building your system, and read up on room treatment, it'll make more of a difference per dollar than any source, kryptonite infused platinum alloy speaker wires, or power conditioner out there.

95% mosh 1, expert
100% rf-7 destruction

I had my lightning fry some of my gear plugged straight into the wall in an area I lived for 19 years and had never heard of anyone losing electronics.
Now everythings in a tripp lite surge/conditioner
My surge tells me the current draw, and I can't imagine pulling more than 12. I have a 550W projector, 500W computer, denon receiver,1500W pro amp all on the same line, and it never draws more than 12 amps.
Yes, ohms law is violated

You should buy my cherry rb-75's. I'm in springfield, MO, but can bring them up to St. Louis
They are the only bookshelf with the same tweeter as the rf-7. Perfect match
One has 3 scratches on the right side. $500 obo

No.
The signal starts as digital, because it is digital on the disc. You can send the digital signal to your avr via optical/spdif where the avr converts it to an analog signal which is useable by speakers, or the dvd player can do the digital to analog conversiona and just output the analog to the avr, where it continues on.

I have a denon 1906 (1907 is the same thing), and they are pretty cheap online now. $200 range i think. Always been happy with mine, no experience with the others.
-
you will be happy with it. Just don't audition the upper reference stuff and expect to still be happy.
I had rf-15's and thought they were as good as music could possibly sound until I got my dean g'd rf-7's. Then I couldn't believe I lived with the rf-15's. It's all in your head
I might go with a bigger sub, that'll be the first thing you upgrade probably. Might as well get the bigger one first and save some money. Also, if the system is primarily for movies, I'd go with at least the c-2. Having bigger mains than center is not very ht, where the center carries most of the load.
Klipsch doesn't make a bad product.

I have the original box and an art clean box if you need. Make those 83's sing
Are you still in the dorms? I can't imagine the 5400.... Wait till you get everything in a big room, mmmmmm. Soundstage becomes a reality
Thanks for the interest,
Alex

I have run my dean g'd rf-7's by an entry level denon to the point that I can barely breathe. Denon goes to +18 I think, loudest I've ever gotten is +6. Easily live concert volume, not a hint of stress. RS db meter reading over 120db
You might have a bright room that gets irritating at higher volumes.

I have 4 mach 5 audio mj-18's. (18", svc, 8 ohm) most people use them for infinite baffle setups, though I have them in a 32 cubic foot sealed box
These are relatively low excursion drivers (24mm peak to peak), but still will move more air per dollar than any other driver in the world
$300 obo for all 4
shipping from springfield, MO 65807 (a lot, pickup will save you a hundred or more) I have all the original boxes

damn right. I went to my buddies place and beat the entire game on expert except the last battle in one sitting. I don't own it though, so I don't get to play it often....
-
you should buy my dean g'd rf-7's instead
-
buy my perfect kv-3. $125
-
what about those merlin exl III's? I can't find anything online about anything merlin other than the vsm's.
-
The guy is asking $1350 for it and a pair of merlin exl III's
I plan on going to listen to the pair next week, problem is i don't have 1350............ yet
-

I only listen to music two ways; I sit and listen carefully to records doing nothing else but listen, and I play instruments (guitar, clarinet, violin. piano, sax, and trumpet...) in about that order of descending proficiency. I actually spend twice as much time playing instruments as listening to records. I count all of it as listening to music.
I was practicing snare drum over 2 hours a day for almost 2 years.... not much music there, straight fundamentals at least 75% of the time
-
Over the summer I listened to music at least 10 hours a day, commute plus assembly line job. Back in school I'm down to about 2 hours a day.
In 2 weeks I went from 70 down to 15 hours. Hope the poll covers everyone pretty well
If you think you listen the MOST, let us in on your sweet job. Truckers and retired guys should own this.....

physics is the shit, currently in year 2 of engineering physics

Keith, come to MSU. We'll buy a house and combine forces. It would be rediculous. We need to keep working on Ryan and Scott though. They'll be Klipschers by the end of next summer for sure. You know first hand about my persuasive ways.
BTW, weekend of the 14th, we should congregate here or at semo. My bar is almost complete, spent $200 a couple days ago. New favorite drinks,
Captain Al- equal parts, captain, amaretto, sour, and cranberry.
Gin Sin- 2 parts gin, 2 orange juice, 1 lemon juice
Blue Motorcycle, equal parts gin, vodka, rum, tequilla, blue curacao, sour, 7 up
OT: St. Louis klipschers

This is a long shot.........
I'm studying physics at MSU and starting to think about where I'll work this coming summer. Something a little more resume building than moving boxes would be nice.
If you work for a company that hires interns or summer help in a science/tech field, lemme know
I live out in St. Charles
Thanks,
Alex
