What would be the next best Reference model to the RF-7ii's? Out of all the models out there new or used? I want to upgrade my front stage which is currently RF-35's and RC-35, bought those when they were first brought out.
100% HT
Can't fit the RF-7ii's in the space I have and $4400 for 2 speakers is a no go with the wife. :/
that's crazy, nearly equal amount of money needed to be paid in customs...

From picture quality (color/sharpness/brightness) aspect Samsung has some good LED TVs (7xxx series and above) and had some good deals... See if it fits your criteria...

The new room-setup and thus the placement is the key. In my case, Audyssey did a trick.. Not sure, if you've a possibility to run something similar via Marantz or Pioneer.

First Impressions: Monster copper woofers @ 15" and sounds big.
At this point, I've now 4 subwoofers going in a 7.4 setup; 2 x SW-311 and 2 x R-115SW. I'm contemplating to take this setup through Audyssey, but it's not the final placement...
Two SW-311 did generate enough bass to rattle windows and the floor, but I dare not turn the volume more than 50% with these beasts as it may blow off my windows !!!
Cheers !!!

Forgot to mention that these two active 10" SW-311 subwoofers are competing against 12 passive RF-7 II 10" woofers
I know those SW-311's are not the end all for HT but how do they perform musically with the RF-7II's? I would not mind finding one of it's little brothers SW-308 for my computer rig.

Two of these perform quite well producing tight base notes together with RF-7 II, both during the movies and music. All six RF-7 II goes up to 40Hz and RC-64 II goes up to 60 Hz, while two subs produce LFE + Main.
As I stated above, I went in with two step calibration process. 1st I carried out Audessey with marginal difference and next I carried out Klipsch Room Correction Calibration for each sub (mic were placed at two different positions for each sub) that lead to significant difference. After playing various material for 6-8 hours for couple of days, I've finally reduced volume from full 11db to 8dB on Klipsch subs as it's too much base, rattling-shaking windows of three rooms - The room they're placed into as well as my nook and library.
I watched few movies with known base heavy passages and it definitely shakes the corner of the home and prorogates the low frequency wave through the floor.
Issue: The only issue right now is that it wakes up for some reason while content is played with Left main and Right main signals. It stays on during 5.1/7.1 content and similarly it would be okay if it stayed on during 2.0 content instead of waking up in the middle, which causes a unwanted small pop. As soon as I get cables, I'll try out trigger inputs instead of LFE signal.

Well we are in the new condo for a couple weeks as I've mentioned in another thread. Thus far whilst we wait for the new AV unit that my friend is building for us We have been using the old unit with just a 2.1 set up. The new unit should be ready this weekend and my father is flying up from Ontario in two weeks. Time to get things set up. I got rid of most of my old wire when we moved. Question is, gauge.
Should I be looking at 12 all around or would 14 suffice?
I would say 12 gauge

I did audition them back in days. It'll be good for the price as long as you have space as both RF-63 and RF-83 are narrow body but run deep.
Looks in decent condition. No affiliation.
All the best to who ever scores it.

Added two SW-311... Basking in the glory of "base".
Recalibrated Audyssey to include two subs - bit better
Next performed Klipsch Microphone room correction calibration - lot better
Not sue if corner placement is needed for these subs, as (1) don't have much choice for placement and (2) 14' wide front wall is kind of occupied (room size 14' x 21' x 9')
Cheers !!!

Yup! First thing would be to change the RCA cable with the best you can get as hum goes away when RCA cable input is disconnected.
I repurposed one monster component cable and made three single coaxial cables out of it. Used two for subs and one for analog input
-
That's awesome! Wish you many happy return of anniversaries
-
Congratulation !!

Not to worry... I wont change anything that can not be reverted.
They are coming to caring home.
Post the pics when you're ready Schu

Although it seems that it starts from your AV sub output, you can try out other AC Power wall outlet in room. Also, I would suggest to use high quality shielded RCA cable. If you have good Component Cable you can use just any one/two out of three and rule out cable issue.
Good luck solving the puzzle.

Well well well !! At least you're bracing them! Fingers crossed !!

Indeed !! Wish they were in espresso

Great to see the twins - finally! Congratulations !!

Indeed !!

It's called "port chuffing" which is mainly due to reaching the limits of your sub. Port chuffing is due to air-pressure change in the sub enclosure. It might be really rattling on the floor as well. Is it placed on hardwood floor?

When Metropolist is done with his experiment, he's gonna ship it to me

I think the size of the RC64ii makes it tough for some, it would be for me. I like dual 6.5's, but dual 8's would be great IMO, little more grunt.
Hard to beat a bstock 64ii for $899 right now.
Indeed, pretty good deal ! If you manage to squeze it in then its beasty performance is jaw dropping !!
