One odd thing is that the volume scale goes from 0 to 100 instead of the negative scale I'm used to (-20dB for example). I haven't found anything in the menus of it to change the volume format. I know with some receivers you can change that feature back and forth if you want to.
I don't remember if the 5.8 has it, but the 40.4 does, there's a setting called "Use Relative Volume" - and if you set that to on, it should revert to using dB rather than scaled volume measurements. It should be in a generic menu screen or general screen, I don't think it's in audio settings.

I am upset to just now learn of this.
Mallette was my first oral history interview, and he was so nice and willing to work with me. He was also always more than happy to talk speakers among other things, made countless recommendations and suggestions that I used in my graduate and undergraduate pursuits. I will miss him dearly.

I have the newer model of this TV. The MSRP was $2,199.99. They are absolutely awesome TV's and well worth the money. I advise anyone who is interested in shipping to be very careful and do either pallet shipping or local pickup (the latter especially if no box). I had to wait on two different screens because they were damaged in shipping to the vendor (due to stacking). They even sound good for a TV.

An update to this, upon closer inspection I've determined that HDMI's 1-4 and Output 1 are all HDCP 2.2 and HDMI 2.0.

Attached are a few pictures. This unit is still in the rig, so I'll get more photos of the rears and sides upon request after they're removed later this week.

See second post for images.
The RDG I had largely used simply as a digital FM tuner, but it does have built in FM tuner and network streaming abilities (to your local HTPC). It has plenty of presets too, so you can have up to 30 AM/FM and 30 online presets. It's kinda nice.
The RDG-1520 comes with the unit, power cable, network dongle, and a new remote (no original packaging). Asking price for forum members is $300 + shipping/paypal (or local pickup).

The woofer diameter on it's own is too big for the 10" woofers, not to mention the horn. Plus for the cost and effort, I'm not sure why you wouldn't just buy the towers anyway. If you want RF-7 III's, buy RF-7 III's.

Is spotify hifi different from normal spotify?
Premium is up to 320 kbps bit rate. Hi-Fi generally is somewhere between 1411-2600 kbps and either 44.1 or 48 kHz depth.

Seller, what is your location?

it seems strange to me, on March 04, 2000 the RF7s were not yet in production.
Considering my RB-5's are badged in 2000 - I'm not sure that assessment tracks.
Klipsch, however, does say that the RF-7's entered production in 2001.

If these are indeed from 2006 - they are some of the last.

I used a pair of RSX-4's with RF-3's and RF-25's for a period of time. I didn't have any real issues with that. The RSX-5's are....something special.

then these speakers just have an extra set of ports in case needed.
AFAIC dual-binding posts on speakers at this level are just a marketing gimmick.
Bi-Amping requires some minor internal modification to the speakers, and additional components to accomplish.

I was able to connect the speakers this way. It’s it correct?
speaker / Receiver
Atmos - height 1 L&R
HF to front L&R
LF to height2 L&R
That's not correct unless the H2 is assignable. And if it is assignable you'd need to remove the straps - but that configuration is also unnecessary. You only need to use one set of those terminals.
Can I use the k4B-2B Bi-Wire Speaker Cable? Which is the 4 banana plug to 2 banana cable. I may have misplaced the pins.
You could, but again, that is not necessary.

I have a denon AVRS 750 and I need to clear how connect thre speaker R- 26FA, I have 6 +1 speaker out, Can I connect three in each speakers ? Right and left ?
Not sure what the question is. There's 2 speakers in the R-26FA, you only need to connect two terminals. See the diagram I posted in this thread. You connect the stand-alone terminals to height channels, and one of the lower 2 to the main.

No, you should be using the copper strap to connect the two lower terminals to each other and run only one set of wires from that lower set to your AVR. See the diagram.

Count me 100% interested/signed up. As much as I don't mind Tidal, the interface of Spotify is much nicer imo. Now if only it'd integrate with Roon...

Oh, little THK - you had no idea how quickly GS-11-01 was going to come for you.
Still waiting on giving the Klipsch forum members tours.

I believe it was to tame the tweeter.
That was also my understanding, but I lack firsthand knowledge of the RF-7 updates - only hearsay.

Any guidance in best/easiest way to upgrade rf7 and rc7? Is it worth it? I've heard of the deanG upgrades. Are there others? Whats reccomended? I've had these for 15 years, instead of replacing speakers a small.uogesde might be what carries them the next 15
The RF-7's have a decent upgrade available, but the RC-7 shouldn't need much of anything. That crossover is one of the better built designs, and I wouldn't mess with it. I know Bob had done a number of RF XO updates, but I'm not sure if anyone has taken over that, and I'm not sure if Dean is still in business either. The only real meaningful upgrades to the RF-7's would be the XO.

Still for sale.

I just watched for the flyover - the only good part of the Super Bowl imo anyway...

Might be the case on the older models. I believe 80 is 0 dB on most of them iirc.
