I posted this in a different topic: The newer "Reference" series replaced the Synergy series, and the "Reference Premiere" series replaces the outgoing "Reference II" line. The RF-7ii has not been replaced yet. Klipsch made it extremely confusing to compare used models to current ones, but basically just follow the driver materials to see what tier a series sits in. Example, following the 8" woofer models Titanium tweeters and Cerametallic woofers: Reference(1st gen, RF-3) Reference(2nd gen, RF-3ii) Reference(3rd gen, RF-35) Reference(4th gen, RF-82) Reference II(5th gen, RF-82ii) Reference Premiere(6th gen, RP-280f) Aluminum tweeters and IMG woofers: Synergy(1st gen, KSF 10.5) Synergy(2nd gen, SF-3) Synergy(3rd gen, F-3) Synergy(4th gen, F-30) Icon(5th gen, KF-28) Reference(6th gen, R-28f) Then I would consider the larger Titanium tweeter models to be on a high performance tier, as follows: RF-7(1st&2nd gen) RB-75(3rd gen) RF-83(4th gen) RF-7ii(5th gen) ????(6th gen)

So, the amp self destructed? Because I'm pretty sure I had the wiring correct, but now I'm nervous as hell to try again.

Yeah, I was hoping to figure it out from the wire ends, because the ceiling is like 16ft high. What would the danger really be of connecting it to an amp incorrectly? Is it possible that I really blew that amp with incorrect wiring? Or do you think it was just a bad amp? Like, what would happen if I connected the + wires from both speakers the to + and - of the left speaker terminals on the amp?

How can I test the wiring on some Jamo in-ceiling speakers? I have access to the wires coming out of the wall, but they're not labeled. There's red, green, white, and black. I don't want to connect an amplifier and short something. Do I just grab a multi meter and test pairs of the wires together?? Fwiw, I already tried connecting a cheap Insignia stereo receiver and it literally blew up when I powered it on. I'm guessing the receiver was just faulty, but I don't want it to happen again!

You don't get a warranty through Sound Distributors?

Hmmm, Sound Distributors is selling them new for $1950/pr.... your choice of color.

ohh thanks thanks thanks :-) my room is 350sq ft so i should use the RP-250S right :-D It's your decision! Atmosphere vs Precision. ;-)

If the Heresy's are sitting unused, get rid of them! I would keep both bigger pairs anyway. You already have an excellent pair of heritage, so keep the KGs as a very different alternative.

RP-250S is for wide, big, surround sound. For atmosphere and movies. RP-160M is for small, accurate, surround sound. For precision and music.

That ad has been up for more than two years...

I was the lucky soul........3.5 hrs drive and 1100. They are perfect! 10/10 We require pics!!

Chicago's got nothing on Denver. We're stoned out of our minds over here! Synergy F-1's, RC-25, and RSX-4's. https://denver.craigslist.org/ele/5525241810.html The price has been "reduced" to only $1250! It was $1800 yesterday. Though the "original price" went up from $5k to $6k.

Funny when you put it like that. Reminds me of my buddy who suped up his little Nissan Sentra. Most people wouldn't choose that as a starting point...until they see him smoking unsuspecting Corvettes and Porsches.

Look at his signature: "Mains Synergy F20 With Deang/Aletheia Audio modded crossovers and Eminence 1" HF Titanium Horn Drivers"

I've never heard the 83s, but I liked my KLF-20s better than my RF-7s....by quite a large margin.

KLF-30s are going up. I'd say the current range is $800-1200.

You're probably not going to get rid of them for more than $2k. Upgrades usually don't command much extra money.

There was a similar ad in Denver for $70 RF-35s.

I'd trade em for dual 115s

Yes, you can connect the speakers to a different amplifier, just don't expect any bass AT ALL from them.

I wouldn't trade those RPs for anything less than Fortes. Heresy's remind me of the little axe-wielding dwarf from Lord of the Rings.

Oh, I see. I thought you meant fifth gen Ref(Refii) stuff. You probably called it Ref II to distinguish it from the new "Reference" series, yeah?Maybe we should all start referring to older Reference stuff as Reference Premiere.

What Ref II stuff do you have?

Both ads are about $500 too high.
