    Yes, tweeter is a bit fragile (probably due to age) and it is highly recommended to remove the driver prior to shipping :) 

     

    Oops ... just remembered it is the RB-75's that need the driver removed. Had 2 RC-7's shipped to me without a problem :) 

    OK appreciate the information as I'm not shy about overpacking and shipping things but obviously mis-remembered which was problematic in transit without extra prep!

    SOLD - Klipsch Reference RC7 Center Channel Black

    in Garage Sale

    Posted · Edited by Hamilton

    I've had this wonderful speaker for about 3 years now, since I've migrated to the Legend Series KLF-20s I decided to get a C7 center which definitely matches much better.   Its in good/very good condition, finish is still intact and one of the drivers has a slight crease however doesn't seem to impact sound at all.  One peg was broken however has a screw inserted there and holds great to the speaker and no rattling.

     

    Would prefer meetup somewhat local as I understand shipping these guys generally requires a bit of prep regarding the horn and tweeter?  I'm Inland Empire, CA but do travel to Southern OC every Friday afternoon to pickup my kids so can arrange meeting but of course can't throw some Watts at it to test in that case.

     

    Asking $500 $400, if price seems off please let me know guys, seems that is the going rate for C7s!!!

     

    EDIT - SOLD locally $375

    WTB KLF C7 Or Trade RC7

    If you can physically accommodate it, you should consider a Heresy II or higher for a center.  I used a Heresy II center with my KLF-30 mains for years.  (The only reason that I don't anymore is that the system was replaced with a Palladium system.)  I find the 3-way Heresy to be a better sonic match for 3-way Legend series than even the KLF-C7.

    I like the idea of doing so but I have a 144" screen which is the entire wall and the cause of my poor placement currently.  There is a guy on the east coast that disassembled a KLF-20 speaker and built a custom horizontal cabinet for it actually pretty cool stuff.

    Dunno how it's positioned now, but DEFINITELY do this. It was designed to set up on top of ab RPTV with back feet to tilt towards th MLP. If it's lower than your KLF-20s and not angled upward towards your LP I can see where you would have a problem...If it's sitting on the floor, that would be a major culprit. 

     

    EDIT: I skimmed you post and missed this "I've always run my theater with a projector so the center is just square on the floor." 😮 See above.

    I've had this RC7 for maybe 2 years or so and I think it really is highlighting how bad it is.  I had an RC3 for a long time before and set the cutoff at 80hz so those deeper voices weren't getting so much data.  The tweaking continues!

    Do you have non factory xover in 20's, as that changes everything? Just curious as I have never heard the RC7 described as muddled. Mine is as clear and powerful as any Ref speaker, certainly way more than a 20 or 30.

    This may be a serious dumbass moment for myself...

     

    I've always run my theater with a projector so the center is just square on the floor.  Over the years I have upgraded and changed almost every single speaker but with the RC7 it has fuller frequency range so male voices were the main issue.  

     

    I'm now going to experiment with angling the center towards the listener and possibly make a small platform to even elevate it.  Honestly never thought this was a problem but with the wider range of these KLF-20's it was noticeable.  Anyways, going to move stuff around a bit see how it goes for improvement.

    Hmm...Could something be wrong with the RC-7? Of course you may have a situation where you notice the tonal difference but when I ran the RC-7 between KLF-20s it definitely didn't sound "muddled."  Fwiw, it actually has a larger Compression Driver mated to the horn which I thought made it sound cleaner than the KLF-C7.

     

    Well it sounds just fine playing actual movies/media however when doing the receiver test tones there is a pretty big difference.  I have SS1s for atmos speakers and they have the dullest tone then the RC7.  My KG 5.5 and KLF20s sound almost identical they both have crites tweeters so figured that was the major factor.  Wondering what could be wrong with the RC7 then it doesn't crackle or anything like that.

    The RC7 is one of the best reference speakers ever to me. I sold ,at one time, all my reference speakers, but could not part with the RC7, I bought another. I used the RC7 with 20's and 30's. But if your ears tell you different that's all that matters.

    With the crossovers and titanium tweeters on the KLF 20s they are considerably more lively where I find now the RC7 is almost muddled by comparison.  I know if I had RF5s or RF7s they would be stock and pair up perfectly.

    Haha, thought you were crazy as I have dual RC-7's used as L/R TV speakers. But, it seems others agree with you. See ... 

     

    Ya I definitely think the RC7 is an incredible speaker but the tone difference in the horn across the fronts is huge.  It isn't horrifically noticeable as generally voice doesn't move from center to the sides.

    I love my RC7 but hot damn she doesn't match the KLF20s so hoping someone has the inverse problem with a C7 and some RF series speakers or perhaps ill just buy cash.  I'm in southern California so willing to make a reasonable trip.

    Just picked up an RSW-15 that is in working condition but needs a little love.  The auto/on toggle switch just flops around in there and I can't seem to find any information about replacing or fixing these.  Anyone have some input?

    KLF-20 With Shrill K-52 Midhorn

    in 2-Channel Home Audio

    Posted

    Just an update I had emailed Simplyspeaker.com a recommended adhesive for this type of material as there are numerous types, they said that CA glue (super glue) would work best.  Did my best to get all around the detatched area of the voice coil suspened over a jar with some pressure from a glass on top and voila!  Success!  Sounds great!!!!
