definitely hear more highs with grills off on my rf7 ii's

orrb_05 if you don't mind, can you describe the look of the grain in the b stock? over the phone with a klipsch rep i was told there were imperfections in the grain that made the look of the speakers mismatch from speaker to speaker and also mismatched on the single speaker as well. is this consistent with yours? also when you refer to the website speaker do you mean the larger photo with the lighter shade of tan or the reddish swatch below? thanks b

wow this is shaking me a bit. i bought a pair of rf7iis at a discount from another dealer as part of a package deal and was given a good discount for it. when the speakers arrived i was a bit shocked to see the shade of wood was different from the pics amy posted as well as pics of the cherry 7iis on the klipsch site. these "off" color rf7ii's are the exact same shade as mine and sold as b stock because of it's off color. i have never seen this acknowledgment till now with the above link. i bought the center channel and surrounds as well. the center matched the fronts so i figured they were all like that even though the official site had a different shade. it has been about half a year since i bought them and now i wonder if i should make a stink about it. was i sold a b stock set of klipsch speakers thinking i got a discount on an A grade set? seems like it. opinions? the price i paid? 2400 for the fronts 975 for the center and 600 for the 2 surrounds (pr) seems like i paid 75 bucks more than regular b stock price

i have the rf7ii's and just added the xpa5 to my tx-nr905 and must say that i am a very happy camper. it makes a big difference. there is a presence in movies that i feel i akin to sound i hear in really good cinemas. music is clean and punchy, movies are dynamic and more alive now. a very nice bonus is that i can even listen at lower levels and can hear dialog without having to move the volume up and down to not disturb neighbors. great bang for the buck right now that the xpa5 is on sale at emotiva.

how's that? i see 799. on the site.

i have the pc+ and it can shake you from the inside out. the pci should sound good too.

i did a similar lookup in the bay area and found a bunch of "retailers" all of them turned out to be some rinky dink home theater installer without a storefront and of course no stock. you had to order them to see them at all. good luck! hope you do better.

do you have the rf7 or rf7 II's? i think there would be a big difference.

for some reason i thought you already received the center. i think you'll really like it. your comments about never getting rid of these speakers got me thinking. if for some reason they blew out in the future will we be able to get replacement parts? i can't ever imagine getting rid of them either or what a better pair could even sound like. not that i'm looking

That's why you need a flatpanel for daytime

Congrats on the projector! You will love it. I'm on my 2nd projector, a planar 7150 720p dlp. Going to go with a jvc rs50 for my next upgrade. Love my home setup. Going to the theater now is mostly a let down.

That looks fantastic. Where did you get the center stand? I may have to score one for myself. Any chance of the cat tipping it over?

Have mine cossed at 80hz. Tried 60&70 but the voiced seemed to lose the punch I'm used to. Do you have to get used to it? Also I don't have a beefy amp like you do. Been hesitating on the emotiva. Keep thinking I'll get the best price around black Friday even though they are currently on sale.

how can you not like it. the center really does blend in well to create a seamless soundstage for movies. i don't have the opportunity to listen at very loud levels often but when i can it is absolutely wonderful. still have to notch up the volume when listening at lower levels but with this speaker it about 2 notches whereas the previous set it was 6 notches with two center channels hooked up. of course you can always get an extra rf7 II for a center

stunning as ever! where you gonna put that thx sign when the center gets there
