What rears are you running with you RF-7 system? Your Onkyo 705 should not have any issues running just your RS-7's and your back speakers, unless you are really cranking it up on all channel stereo for extended periods of time. My 705 never skipped a beat before I added my B&K to run my RF-63's and RC-64. Bill

I have demoed them using a Denon preamp and a vintage Marantz receiver powering my RF-63's, Fortes, RB-5's, and Quartet's all with very good results. Nice warm sound with plenty of punch down low. Bill

I can't say what would be the best sound but these amps have been known to power RF-7's very well. 200w 8 ohms/400w 4ohms. A high current amp that should have no problem with the RF-7's low impedences. No affiliation. http://orlando.craigslist.org/ele/1600635609.html If that is a little steep for your pocket, I have a couple of Marantz monoblocks that just might work. Bill

I have to totally agree. This leaves you better access to your electronics and of course, better sound. Bill

How does it sound with a digital coax cable connecting the 3520 to the 2808 in stereo mode with the sub? With my setup, pure direct mode on my receiver sounds really anemic compared to stereo with sub. Do an A/B comparison using analog cables(3520 DAC's) and digital coax(2808 DAC's) in stereo mode w/sub. When I added my B&K amp using the Onkyo as a preamp, my RF-63's came alive with tons of headroom and great seperation. What I noticed the most was how detailed the music is at lower volumes. Bill PS I want your 3520. About two months ago I was one hour too late from picking up a mint one owner 3520 for $40.00.

Bairda, Sorry to hijack your thread. Kyle from Groveland, did you see this? http://ocala.craigslist.org/ele/1594706192.html Bill from Kissimmee

For very little $$$, this little fan has kept my Onkyo receiver 15-20 degrees cooler for about three years. http://www.buyextras.com/evavcoblfanf.html Bill

Finally. Is that your smile I see glistening 50 miles to my southwest or a beacon on top of a tall radio tower? Have fun with your new toy. Bill

The monoblocks sound great with my RF-63's. Very similar to the B&K in my opinion. When I bought these monoblocks, I was unaware how long they are(18.5 inches). They are about 2 inches too long for my tv stand when using banana clips. No room to connect with thick wood panel in rear of stand. I was really bummed when I came to that conclusion. This is the main reason I am selling them. I have also used the 2252b/MA-700 combo with RB-5's and RB-35's with great results. Now for the B&K, I really love the sound with my 63's. Very nice and detailed with plenty of punch while retaining some warmth. Bill

Del, Adcom/RF-7's === very brite? LOL I have a couple of Marantz MA-700(200w) monoblocks I can sell you. Warm/neutral like B&K but very detailed with my Marantz 2252b and Quartet's. Send me a PM if you are interested. Bill

No problem Lyle. I typed the original post and then decided what can it hurt to look inside. You just suggested what I should have already done before I posted. Marshall is going to recap them while I am down there. Thanks, Bill

Thanks Lyle, I have already checked for loose wires and came up with nothing. I going to take them down to Groomlakearea51's on the 20th and he is going to open it back up and run tests. Thanks for the photo and instructions. Bill

One more.

Another picture.

I just bought a pair of Heresy Birch Raw. When I hooked them up I notice no sound from the tweeter on one of them. I am not very technical at all. Any forum members in Central Florida could look at these and help me get them going again would be great. Thanks, Bill

Klipsch measurements are exact. 33 x 13.5 x 8. I just measured it. Bill

Yes, definitely an upgrade. With that said, the price you can find the KG4's on the used market makes them have a better performance/price ratio. I loved the WO KG4's I had about a year ago but had to sell them to fund OO Forte purchase. Bill

If you use Audyssey, it will read that you only are using 5.1. For manual setup, you set it for side surrounds only. Bill

I think I know which one you are talking about. I think that is a fair price. Bill

I think you are right about the 6.9 and 7.9. There is a big difference between the 6.8 and 7.8, about 20 pounds and both DACs and power supply. As I said before, I like the sound of my Onkyo/B&K/Klipsch combo. Adding the B&K amp to my Onkyo really opened my system up and the seperation of instruments really came through. For overall musicality, Marantz may be a better choice, but Integra/Onkyo does a very respectable job with music and home theater. Bill

I have the Onkyo TX-SR705 which is the Onkyo equivalent of the DTR-6.8. I am using it as a pre/pro with a 200w/ch B&K 3 channel amp powering a pair of RF-63's and an RC-64. I have no complaints about the sound with 2 channel or HT. Reliable and filled with all the bells and whistles. One thing I will say is that you need to move up to the DTR-7.9 or 8.9 to get the better power supply and DACS. Some on the forum have been displeased with the performance of Onkyo/Integra with Klipsch for 2 channel but praise them for HT. Most of those complaints have been directed at the mid level receivers and lower. I have not heard anything negative about the Onkyo 875/876, 905/906, and the Integra 8.8/8.9 with 2 channel or HT. With my experience with Onkyo/Integra, I am planning on eventually moving up to one of there dedicated pre/pros. Bill

I think it is still available but have not contacted the seller yet. I just bought (7) Marantz monoblocks and am a little short on $$$ for now. Maybe I will sell (2) of them and use some of the money to get the SW-12. Bill

Absolutely a good price. That equates to $220.00 a speaker. You normally can't get the RS-52's for $220.00 each from a bootleg seller. RF-82's for $220.00 each, better price than used with scratched cabinets. Show me where I can get that deal. Bill

I have a similar system with RF-63's instead of 83's and RSX-4's as surrounds. My speakers are all set to small and the crossovers are: RF-63's-------50hz RC-64---------70hz RSX-4's-------100hz With (10) 6.5 inch woofers up front, why should I let them go to waste? Bill
