I've been a bit out of the loup, has there been any news or hints at a new RF-7 II revamp? I am considering buying a whole new RF-7 II system in a few months, and am wondering if I should wait if there could be a new model soon. Thanks in advance!
-
I was just wondering, is it possible to refinished my Klipsch RF-3 II towers? They are all scuffed up and I would love to make them look new again.

Definitely following this post.

Moving to Texas this month and would be much closer and able to go. Sounds awesome!
-
You have two 12+2's? Without looking at the specs, I can't imagine replacing them would come close to the output you have now. Those dual driver SVS's are beasts.
Couldn't agree more.

Really wish you had 4 of these. :/

$750 is an amazing deal!! I'd buy these in a heartbeat if I had the money, WOW!!
-
It looks like a RC64ii may be my only move now, so I will pay whatever the market dictates LOL.
Good idea to go with the RC-64II, the RC-7 is not timbre matched to the RF-7II.

Smokin deal, if this was 2 months from now, I'd be ALL OVER these.

One beautiful sub, good luck with sale!

Its about time more folks became aware of how different caps can and will change the sound coming from your drivers and I'm not talking about changing the style or topo of the network, but actually just changing the capacitors and maybe the inductors.
I'm pretty ignorant about what makes a high quality cap. I've heard that some have a shorter life, and some get resistive with age. Is the difference in caps of the same value a fairly recent thing, due to new cap technology? I vaguely remember PWK writing that he didn't care what caps were made out of -- even whiskey bottles would do -- if they had the right values.
If someone buys a second hand speaker that is fairly old, nearly everyone advises that the caps be changed. Is there a predictable, subjective change in sound that replacing caps would make? Would a speaker with new caps sound brighter, or duller, or what? Or, is it unpredictable, and depends on location in the circuit or ______?
All excellent questions, looking forward to the answers you get.

Is that if you were sitting in thee MLP?
Absolutely thee(MY) listening position.

buy some and tear them apart? i have some i'll sell you. haven't even opened them.
Hmm, I may do this. Coming into some money end of next month.

You may feel differently if you heard one with a DeanG upgrade in it.

I have one in my hand and it measures 6" across. The spec sheet for the RF-82ii says it is 9.5" wide. If the CD is a screw-in type, then yes it would fit. I would strongly suggest making a cradle to brace the CD so it won't crack the horn. The going price for a pair of DH1506 is about $200 for a pair, shipped. Two will fit in a USPS flat rate box for $12 shipping.
They don't come onto the market that often, I searched for 4 months to find my pair. There is a couple on Ebay right now for $185 shipped.

Hmmm, definitely worth thinking about doing... Are there any other options that perform close to those that would fit and are regularly available?
-
I wonder if one of those DH1506's would fit on the horn of any of the reference speakers, any idea if it could or not?
I will say, the RF-7 II tweeters are pretty beefy looking.
-
Hmm, still interested in seeing some internal pics. It's like buying a car without looking at the engine to me. I would really love to see those crossovers and drivers, and even the bracing.
-
Lets not forget the RF-3 II was Klipsch's entry level Reference speaker from '99 to '02. While I personally do not prefer the sound of the RF-82 II's (subbed to the flagship), I can certainly understand if the build quality is substantially better.
That was my thinking too. I can only imagine they would have greatly improved all of the driver in the 8 years between the two. I just love knowing nerdy tech spec white sheets and improvements.

which driver? the woofers in an RF3 are solid the comp drivers are compromised in my opinion but fine for the price as far as I am concerned. if you want to look at a state of the art driver (compression) look at how an EV DH1506 or a DH1A is made. those are S.O.T.A. designed and built drives which have and do stand the test of time and professional use punishment. Absolute top of the line pro quality components. That kind of quality costs and you are not going to find it in entry audio components. Look also to top of the line Altec comp drivers as well as JBL drivers which are also of very high quality. The DH1A is about as good as a driver can be made. Best regards Moray James.
What about it would you say is compromised?
-
Can anyone at Klipsch, or someone knowledgeable on the subject, comment on the differences in quality of drivers of these two speakers? I was told by someone on DIYaudio that the RF-3 II drivers could use a lot of improvement, so I'm wondering how much better the drivers from the RF-82 II's are? What would be the main differences? It's my understanding that the RF-82 II's use trickle down Palladium technology, which I'd be very interested in hearing how they use it..
-
Do you only have one?
-
Hmmm, I am interested, but I wonder how I'd remedy the cracks and still be able to mount the driver in a secure but not be too terrible looking way...

For multi-channel audio, I'm not sure if using diffusion panels is a good idea in a small room? I ask this because if one uses 7.2 speakers, some of the speakers will inevitably have their first reflections diffused as opposed to absorbed. It would seem this has great potential to affect multi-channel imaging. I'm a big fan of multi channel audio tracks, and even upconvert 5.1 to 7.1 audio using DTS NEO X.
I do see the value for stereo where you'd want to make the image surround you more. I'm not an expert though, so hopefully others will chime in.
but sound diffusion is easily as importantI'm no expert either, but adding sound diffusers to my room definitely helped. I have a small room with short angled ceilings as well.

I think I just might look into a real wood veneer.
I was also wondering, do you know how I might tighten up my driver screw holes? They are a bit rounded out and loose from removing the drivers several times to work on crossover mods. There must be some way of doing this.
