SubMersive price reduced to $1,350.
-
Speakers have been sold locally. Only the SubMersive remains.
-
Thanks! Hope you're doing well too.
Most likely a 9.4.6 setup consisting of the JBL 708i speakers all around and probably four JBL SSW-2 subwoofers.
-
UPDATE: Everything sold.
First of all, I am located in Dubai, UAE and do not have the original packaging. However, if you are seriously interested, we could probably work something out in terms of packaging and shipping (I'll contact my local Klipsch dealer to help with those if they are able).
Other than that, I am the first owner of the speakers and subwoofer. Speakers were bought new in 2002ish and the SubMersive was bought new in 2009. All are in excellent working condition with some slight blemishes. The Vinyl is slightly peeling off the RS-7s at some spots but other than that they are excellent. A few of the pegs on the grills of the RF-7s are broken too. I'll post some more detailed/close-up pictures soon. Also note that one of the woofers on the RC-7 was replaced as it went bad. The new woofer, while original, has a slight color difference compared to the old one. The pictures posted here are before the replacement so they look the same.
As for the SubMersive, it is the original 1000 watt model in black oak finish (pictures to come). It has a slight blemish that occurred during shipment. It is not really visible as it is located on the amplifier side and can only be seen if you know it's there.
Asking prices: $1,450 for the complete Klipsch set and $1,450 for the SubMersive.

Klipsch overstates the sensitivity of its speakers. For example, the RP-280FA is rated at 98 dB but was measured to be 93 dB. You can read about that here: https://www.avsforum.com/forum/89-speakers/2980840-klipsch-rf-7-iii-speakers-review-3.html#post56552642
The RF-7 III is rated at 100 dB. If we subtract 5 dB from that spec, the continuous SPL with the 250 watt continuous rating is about 119 dB. With the 1000 watt peak rating, we get 125 dB. This is at 1 meter.
-
I am referring to the rated SPL capabilities from 1 meter (how most speakers are measured/spec'd out). Also, I am talking about one RF-7 III, not the combined output of two or more along with subwoofers.
-
What is the max continuous SPL and the max peak SPL of the RF-7 III?
-
What's everyone's opinion on the picture quality of the better projectors vs. the better/best TVs today? Do you feel you give up some level of picture quality by getting a projector for the sake of a larger image vs. a TV? Or do you feel the better projectors can match the picture quality of the best TVs?
-
Too close? If I am not mistaken, the ports are only used for the low frequencies. If I crossover the RF-7 IIIs at 80 Hz will there be any issue if they are only about 3" from the front wall?
-
-
Or are they only sold at MSRP because they are new? Referring to buying from a Klipsch dealer and not online.

I have two pairs of the KI-102’s that I may sell. Message me if you would like to work out something. I’m in Orlando fl
Thanks for the offer but I'm still planning things out at this stage and not really ready to buy anything just yet.

I have a small room that is roughly 12 ft long x 11 ft wide x 9.5 ft high.
The front wall will be completely taken up by the front speakers and the large TV (and the AV cabinet under the TV). One side wall has a large glass sliding door that leads to a small balcony and the other side wall has a large built-in closet. I cannot block or put anything along the two side walls. That leaves only the rear wall. I am thinking of putting two subwoofers near the two rear corners with the seating about 3-4 ft in front of the rear wall. Will this give me good bass coverage or am I doomed in this room? -
If I have the KI-396-SMA-II for front left and right along with the KI-398-RGL for the center, what Klipsch Pro speakers should I use for the side and back surrounds? For the ceiling speakers (for Atmos/DTS:X) I'm thinking of the KPT-801 as it comes with the C-bracket for mounting to a concrete ceiling. If you were to ask me, I'd probably get the KI-102-SMA-II for the side and back surrounds over the KI-262-SMA-II and KI-272-SMA-II because it has a 90 degree horizontal and vertical coverage. The KI-262-SMA-II and KI-272-SMA-II have a much tighter 40 degree horizontal and 60 degree vertical coverage which might not preferable for surround speakers. Any comments/opinions will be appreciated.

@MetropolisLakeOutfitters
I remember you stating that the KI-396-SMA-II was much(?) better than the RF-7 II. What about when compared to the RF-7 III? Is it still better than the new RF-7 III?

That'll give you seamless sound beside and behind you. I'd do it.
Thanks.
But doesn't Dolby recommend monopoles for the surround speakers with Atmos?

RF-7III and RC64III have arrived and are unpacked. I unpacked them myself(not for the faint of heart)😂. Quick thoughts which I will then will follow up in a week or so with a review. First, I’m no expert but I know what sound s good to me. 7s and 64 sound wonderful. Please keep in mind I have yet to calibrate them and they are going through the breaking in process 🎶. Two words keep coming to mind Clarity and Detail.....Clarity and Detail....wow. Having trouble uploading pictures. Can’t go over 2mb.
Hey,
Any more feedback on the speakers? What were you using prior to these? What amp are you using to power them? Looking forward to your review.

I have a small room and I am planning a 7.1.4 setup. Since the side surround speakers will be pretty close to the seating while the back surrounds will be roughly 3-4 ft behind the seating, will it be okay if I get the RP-250S for both the side surrounds and the back surrounds? I thought about the RP-160M for both the sides and backs but read that the sound may be too directional at close distances. The RP-250S will help diffuse the sound which will be a plus when you are close to the speakers. Any thoughts?
-
They look awesome. Eagerly await your impressions.

By the way, will the KPT-801 be the best option for Atmos/DTS:X ceiling speakers if I need on-ceiling speakers rather than in-ceiling? I've read that the AW-650 (which has a similar form factor to the KPT-801) does not sound too good (but is okay for its intended outdoor usage). Is there anything better for on-ceiling Atmos/DTS:X speakers than the KPT-801? The rest of the setup will be RF-7 III for mains, RC-64 III for center, and RP-250S for side and back surrounds.
Anything on the above?

250S for now.
Thanks.
You stated "for now". Does that mean something is planned in the pipeline?

Back when I purchased my current speakers (2002), it seemed that many people where into good audio. You would see home theater demo setups at electronics stores and whatnot. Now, people either listen through their built-in TV speakers or, at most, have a soundbar. I also don't see home theater setup demos at regular electronics stores either. What happened?

Can the C-bracket that comes with the KPT-801 be used to mount the speaker to a concrete ceiling or will I need a special/different C-bracket for that? If the supplied C-bracket can be used to mount the speaker to a concrete ceiling, will I just need to drill holes in the ceiling, insert some concrete anchors, and screw-in the C-bracket to the ceiling?
