  1. Please tell me this was a good buy. I drove 36 mins and paid $600 for the pair. The black lacquer paint

    still smooth. Some minor scratch but nothing major. The numbers are in sequence, 12421 and 12422.

    I tested both speakers with a small receiver and both worked nicely. Just a simple test to make sure

    the speakers work. Anyway to tell when this speaker was assembled?

    My intention is to replace my main RF-3ii with the La Scala set. Will this work?

    See attached pics.

    I was hoping for an RF-83s to replace my RF-3II but nothing has come up yet. There is one RF-83 listed

    in craigslist now but the guy hasn't responded to my offer so I got the La Scala instead.

  2. Hello all.

    I'm looking to replace my Velodyne VA-10/12 with a Klipsch sub.

    I found in CL a KSW-12 and asking price is $275.

    Here's the actual add:

    12" KLIPSCH REFERENCE SERIES 1000WATTS POWERED SUBWOOFER BLACK DOWNWARD FIRING.

    Can someone please tell me if this is a good replacement and if

    the asking price is fair?

    Any suggestion or idea is appreciated.

    Thanks!

  3. Hello all.

    I had my VA 10/12 since late 90's and I've always enjoyed it's
    performance as far as lows and soft-lows are concerned.

    When watching a movie, the VA 10/12 does not necessarily put out
    a nice big "thud" or jolts on big thunderous explosions. It is
    awesome on progressive thunderous-vibrating explosions but on
    the softer side.

    Now, with all Klipsch speakers in my HT, I'd like to replace my
    VA 10/12 with a Klipsch subwoofer that can go "BOOM!" or "THUDD!" :)

    Not being able to experience the many different Klipsch subwoofers
    out there, I'd like to get some opinion from everyone before placing
    my VA 10/12 in CL.

    Can you please tell me what model you're using and your experience
    with it?

    Thanks!

  4. Hi there.

    My speakers are the RF-3 II series like the one you're buying(or already bought). My HT room is pretty small,

    about 14' x 12', and I have 7.1(all RF-3 II except for the RS-42 rear surround). And for my bass, I'm also using

    a Velodyne 10/12.

    As for the sound, well, I have to be biased on this one...they're freakin awesome! I cranked the volume down

    once to 0(say -25 at the volume level is a conversation level) and vibrations from the wall is becoming apparent

    but there were no signs of problems with the speakers...they handle the load just fine. I would normally watch

    my movies at -15-10 at the volume level and with Velodyne crancked at 1/4th turn, the thudds in Terminator

    just come to life.

    Depending on room size, the RF-3 II systems will serve you just fine.

    Good luck,

  5. Hello everyone. I'm nearly reluctant to show my setup since my speakers are a bit outdated
    but I hope you guys don't mind. I've been working on my basement for almost exactly 12 months
    and I've finally gotten my things hooked up.

    The pictures didn't come out as well as I'd like them but it's the best I could do :)

    During the planning stage, a 7-speaker system for the 14'x12' room I thought was an over-kill
    but I'm glad I did...because I can say now, I have a 7.1 system...and Apocalypto sounds awesome! :)

    I'm very satisfied with my HT, granted it took me a year to complete, but it was all worth it. BTW,
    for the RF II speakers, I bought them for $500 but it also came with an HK receiver which I eventualy
    sold for $65. The RS-42 was bought online.

    Favorite blu movie:

    Apocalyto
    Flight of the Phoenix
    Terminator - Judgement Day

    Thanks for letting me share my little story! :)
