@Rippyman
On the pictures of your wall plates, second picture from above there is a wall plate for the front speaker (red and black post), what is the third one used for, subwoofer?Correct, I have a sub outlet on either side. I also have dedicated power supplies for every power outlet on that wall.
-
For that price though, I would look at SVS subwooffers way before this one.
-
I knew they couldn't do without a 15" sub.
-
So I tried the James Cinema 15 back to back test vs the two SW-112 Klipsch and to my surprise there wasn't much of a difference. The 15 definitley produced a lower tone, but overall the difference wasn't substantial.
This tells me I have issues with the room, mainly the concrete floor. I should have put a subfloor in, damnit!
I'm going to experiment with raising the subs off the floor, creating a reflection between them and the floor, will keep you posted.
-
Is the floor concrete?
Also your room is a lot bigger than mine so it might take bigger subs to pressurize that room with bass.
Also just a suggestion I would put your spikes on your rf-7 so the feet don’t sink in. (unless you like it)
Yes its a concrete floor. I plan on playing around with things, I'll keep the forum posted on my results.

Rippyman,how does the marantz sound with the klipsch? Ive got the same front 3 and was also looking at the sr7005. Looks great by the way!
Sounds amazing, but I haven't really enjoyed it yet. The couch I ordered arrived and ended up not fitting into my basement, so I've been forced to order a new setup.
It will take another 14 weeks before it shows up...ugh!
Even though I've sat down there with just a chair and listened to music and watched clips from my favorite movies, I haven't really enjoyed it yet.
On a side note, the two subs you see in the photos are the Klipsch SW-112's and I'm not that impressed with them. It may be that the bass is being lost by escaping the room, but I won't know until the room is furnished and complete. This saturday I'm hooking up a James Cinema 15 to compare for giggles.
I plan on doing a bunch of wall treatments and along with the new couch I'm hoping it will contain the sound a lot better.

Have you considered heights at all?? I don't think you have enough width for wides but heights you most defianatly do and I would! I would go with RB-61II.
No I haven't, maybe one day in the future.
-
Great looking Room...if I may ask how wide and long is the room? What height are the ceilings?
Its 15.6' wide and 16' long with 9' ceilings. Almost square.
-
Love the speakers and the Marantz! That TV looks a little anemic in your room...
It's a 60" LG, good enough for now. Looks tiny in the room, I know.
-
It was designed around a 960px wide content area, pretty much standard.
This is based on a monitor at 1024x768 allowing room for the browser "chrome", scrollbars etc...
A better solution than resizing the whole forum, not everyone has a large monitor, would be to add some javascript that automatically resizes all images in the content area to a specific size if they are too large.That would work as well, its just way too skinny for todays standards.
-
I have dual 22" monitors and my native resolution 1680 wide, about 80% of the photos posted on this site are cut off?
Is there an option to view the forums in a wider format?
I swear it was designed around a 15" monitor at 800x600 resolution...LOL.

Hey guys,
for those of you in Canada, you might want to look at Radiocrafts in Calgary, they are selling the RF-7 II's for $2470. A decent price, and they are an authorized dealer.
-
Thanks guys.
I ended up playing around with things and changed my L/R mains back to small and set them at 60HZ
I upped the center and surrounds to 80HZ and left the rear surrounds at 90HZ
What I haven't done yet is change the LFE to 120HZ, it's still sitting at 80HZ.
I tried switching back and forth from Small to Large for the L/R mains to hear the difference and you can definitely hear the sound fill up when the mains are set to small.
-
Hey Rippyman, Those are some nice pictures but it appears your room is almost a square with alot of flat surfaces....My guess is some room treatment will go along way in cleaning up some reflections and boominess, even though it may sound great now.
I just moved in, the room is not complete. My couches haven't even arrived yet.
-
I have a Marantz SR7005 running a 7.2 setup. My L/R mains are Klipsch RF7-II's,
RC-64 II Center Speaker, RS-62 II Surround Speaker's & CDT 5650-C rear's. I'm running two 12" subs.I ran the Audyssey setup using all 8 reference points, and it set my speakers to the following.
L/R mains to large - Full Dynamic Range
Center - Small 60HZ
L/R surrounds - Small 60HZ
L/R rears - Small 90HZ
SUB - not sure, doesn't display. But I set the reciever to LFE 80ZAll Speakers were set to small originally, and after running Audyssey theses were the settings?
Is this correct?
-
Wow.... those are some nice pictures. Very clean room too.... just move in?
Thanks. Yep.
Man your camera takes amazing pics! What camera are you

It can't set them to Large and give a crossover unless you went back and changed them to Small,,,,Large means no crossover and the speaker is not sending anything to the sub ( Unless you have LFE + mains and then you may want to change it),
Yeh I just realized this after I typed it. Read up on Audyssey's site and smacked myself. Re-running it tonight.
-
I recently setup my 7.2 system and after running Audyssey it set my RF7-II's to Large and 40HZ. They sound amazing!
-
My RF-7II's [H]

My reciever finally arrived. Removed my buddies equipment and hooked my stuff up. Now if only my couches would arrive.
-
I have the entire Reference series from Klipsch and I'm wondering if they are THX rated. My receiver has the option to have it set to THX certified or not.
Thanks.

Very sexy! Are you in the house yet you just coming over in the evenings to watch tv
We are in the house now. I can't wait to get my couches so I can actually sit down and enjoy it.
-
Some progress. My furniture hasn't arrived but I managed to get things hooked up. The cabinet you see is just temporary, I haven't found the exact stand I'm wanting yet. The stupid site is cutting off a portion of the photo, you may have to right click and paste the link into a browser to see the full image. They are 1000 pixels wide.

Lol all these new rf-7ii and no pics or reviews?
My system will be intsalled this weekend. I got the entire reference line.

Thanks.
Sorry for the late reply, was on holidays. I purchased it from Future Shop believe it or not, its quite old, probably 7 years old. I had to modify it by cutting one of the front support bars and removing the top glass.
