I've noticed that a lot of people have been asking me if I am going to be selling my old cf2's and kv4s. This makes me wonder if my stuff is still better then the new rf and rc lines. I am skeptical because the woofers are smaller in the rc64 but Klipsch says it plays lower and the speakers have smaller tweeters then the 2 inch that I currently listen too. Has anyone heard both of these lines that could make a definate recommendation? Power will not be a issue as I said because I will have the B&K reference amp at 200 watts/channel. Thankyou for all of the replies so far

I am planning on getting a B&K amp/preamp so I will have 200 watts per channel. I don't think I will have a problem driving any of the speakers. I am also going to be designing a new theater so what a better time to install new speakers. Thats why I am checking out these newer models out, cause if they sound better then my current setup, I will definately be going with them

Does anyone even know anything about these speakers? It seems everyone thinks the old cf2's and kv4 are top notch but that I know. Does anyone here even have a rc64 and rf83?

Hehe. Most likely if I decide to pursue the new line. At one point I was in possession of 4 kv4's. I I was planning on using them for surrounds, but I just sold 2 of them recently on ebay. I also use the other one for my rear center. Total overkill I know [H] Anybody else know about the older line and new reference line that can help me out with some info?

Back in 1996-1997, I bought a pair of CF2's and the matching KV4, and I have been using them ever since, mainly for home theater. I love the way that the they sound, especially the center channel with its 2 8's. I still believe it's one of the best center channels ever produced, by any company. But now I see that Klipsch has this new reference line out and I am really interested in a pair of RF-83's and the matching RC-64. Unfortunately, no one has the 64 anywhere around here where I can listen to it. I was able to find a dealer that has the 83's but its an hour drive. I plan on going out there at some point. Just wondering if anyone here can shed some light on this for me with a comparison. Thanks a lot Erik
