hmmm... trying to produce frequency above 1200hz covering 2-3 octaves poses significant challenge with a 10" speaker. Keeping the original RF-7 II crossover, 2*10" speakers and 1.75" horn loaded tweeter might be a best bet unless one wants to R&D

That's Klipsch Reference RC-102 II

now at $1450... They're refinished, but if bid doesn't go too high then still the biggest trouble is that I'm not going to be in country for next 2 weeks... ghrr..

hmmm... If possible, I would move front stage (TV, fronts, center) on the right side of the wall in the pic.The wall that has pool sticks' rack. For your current chosen locaton, #1 seems good for surround left/right and #3 seems good for surround back left/right when you decide to go with 7.x setup. #4 might be a possibility as well. If possible, place surrounds on a temp stand at #1/3/4 locations and see where they sounds best.

cool !!

well, it seems to have right edges! last I asked lowe's guy he couldn't make a straight cut. I finally ordered S4S finish wood in desired sizes at professional side of the counter. btw., are you going to have sealed or ported?

I sure see the ingredients

Each of us must chase our "Audio Nirvana" dreams - what's the life otherwise? So, get what ever your heart falls in love with to drive these beauties and skip the below! But, if your left brain is debating with your right brain and heart then check this out https://community.klipsch.com/index.php?/topic/156427-power-amp-for-klipsch-rf7-mkii/#entry1862751

Thanks mxr dad !! Every time I crank them up, I feel adrenaline rushing !!!

Pretty beautiful

Technical wisdom says that there're minimal chances of you hearing any difference with RF 62 II. AVR -1911 should have enough juice to move those 6" woofers in RF-62 II and thus able to drive them adequately at decent volume level. That said, no harm in trying as you might surprise all of us

pretty nice

lol Who's the dealer? that's insane when one is anxiously waiting for the arrival of speakers !! It would be sad and disappointing moments !!!

Hmmm... It's a stock image from Klipsch (http://www.klipsch.com/klipschorn-floorstanding-speaker) I don't see anywhere mentioning of it, which is not honest! There're no pics for both Klipschorn, either. I would call and ask for pics of actual speakers before hand

shoot... I was in Chicago area couple of days ago !!

Contact Klipsch and see if you can get the trim. Fun project !!

20' x 14' x 9'

Sub is optimum, but I find 8 x 10" woofers at front plenty in my set up. Some times it's 12 x 10" that's more than plenty All of them are set to big, where RF-7 II's are set to 40hz and RC-64 II is set to 60hz crossover point. That said, some day I might add a sub or two, but I like tight bass and not fond of blurring vibration to muddy up the rest of the frequency spectrum.

Congratulations to all recent RF-7 II Klipshers !! I fell in love first time when I saw them and pulled the trigger - no regrets

Good to have you back !! It's always nice to see that the project's being finished and now it's time to sit, relax and enjoy.

Welcome to forum. Nice score !!

Hmmm... Interesting analogy of guitar strings and AC voltage/current... We used a tidal wave Audio or music signals can be called either AC Voltage or DC Biased voltage. But when said AC voltage most people would relate it to home AC voltage with a frequency of 50Hz or 60Hz depending upon the country. In case of audio it's varying signal between 1Hz to 25kHz (or more) for different instruments, female/male vocals, ambient/surround sound, etc. and then voltage & current level for the loudness aspect. Hence for long, we've be saying audio signal instead of AC or DC biased signal. Returning to Youthman's measurement quest, modern AVR or amplifier use logarithmic potentiometer (equation) as it's better than linear control for the volume control. Thus, it's bit difficult to draw a straight line and come up with a number. e.g. let's say one amplifier can provide 100w rms for a range of 0-100% while other can provide 150w rms, then in that case depending up on the implementation 50% on 1st amplifier (100w rms) might NOT be exactly 50w rms and similarly 75w rms for 2nd amplifier. In contrast, if it was linear volume control then one can set 50% on 1st amplifier to provide 50w rms and then the volume dial could be set at 33% to provide 50w rms on 2nd amplifier. Thus for correct A to B comparison, due to logarithmic volume control, one need to measure output of the amplifier instead of SPL. In other words, if 2nd amplifier is set to 50% then there's a good possibility of hearing a higher SPL because the amplifier output will be more than 50w rms due to logarithmic volume control. This will falsely imply that 2nd amplifie is louder and probably clear (because being loud).

Nice Cradeldorf or shall we say Weird-ohs

for A to B comparison, the important thing is to measure at exact same point. When you measure at Amplifier, it'll be bit more voltage as the speaker wire reseistance is not part of the measurement. When you meassure voltage at Speaker connections, it'll be little less compared to the measurement at amplifier connections due to the voltage drop acrooss the wire. You can measure at both points which will allow you to understand the voltage drop for each speaker wire (channel). Start with 300V AC (one position right to OFF) and then change to 200V AC range if measurement is less than 200v AC for better resolution. That said, since you're not measuring Ampere, it'll not reveal the exacts that you're after.

Good that you liked your choice and most importantly the performance !! Yeah, those jumpers/links on the connection plate were becoming loose initially. I used to tighten them every week for first few weeks. Now I check them once a 3 months and make sure that they're tight enough and haven't been affected by their own thunder
