Wow, I love those JM Labs speakers, very simple looking, yet have some serious drivers in them. How do they sound BTW and how much were they? ------------------ JVC 36" tv Technics DA-10 Reciever Klipsch KSW-10 sub Shiva/AVA250 DIY sub Klipsch RC-3 II Center Klipsch RB-3 Surounds Nuance Fronts Hitachi DV-P415U dvd player

I was just told ON HTF that the difference between the 8" drivers used in the RB-5, RF-3, and RF-5 is the crossover poit, but why the different serial number for the drivers? ------------------ JVC 36" tv Technics DA-10 Reciever Klipsch KSW-10 sub Shiva/AVA250 DIY sub Klipsch RC-3 II Center Klipsch RB-3 Surounds Nuance Fronts Hitachi DV-P415U dvd player

Haha, now THAT's a good review.

Hey guys, I noticed on Klipsch's product pages that the RB-3, RF-3, RF-5 all use different 8" drivers. Why are they different, and what are the differences?? ------------------ JVC 36" tv Technics DA-10 Reciever Klipsch KSW-10 sub Shiva/AVA250 DIY sub Klipsch RC-3 II Center Klipsch RB-3 Surounds Nuance Fronts Hitachi DV-P415U dvd player

Upgrading the RC-3 and the RB-3's won't be possible, as they are bought and paid for by my dad, so they arn't mine to sell or replace not to be used. I am thinking I may get the RF-7's, and once I move out, start my new system around those, and that would be a serious start to a KICK *** system. ------------------ JVC 36" tv Technics DA-10 Reciever Klipsch KSW-10 sub Shiva/AVA250 DIY sub Klipsch RC-3 II Center Klipsch RB-3 Surounds Nuance Fronts Hitachi DV-P415U dvd player

I am running my KSW-10 in the upstairs 2ch. system, and it sounds awsome, way better than how it was in the home theater. I twas replaced with a Shiva/AVA250 ported DIY sub, and man, it is LOUD. ------------------ JVC 36" tv Technics DA-10 Reciever Klipsch KSW-10 sub Shiva/AVA250 DIY sub Klipsch RC-3 II Center Klipsch RB-3 Surounds Nuance Fronts Hitachi DV-P415U dvd player

Bob A, uh, I mean Zeke, this is a sad topic, and I hope it gets closed. ------------------ JVC 36" tv Technics DA-10 Reciever Klipsch KSW-10 sub Shiva/AVA250 DIY sub Klipsch RC-3 II Center Klipsch RB-3 Surounds Nuance Fronts Hitachi DV-P415U dvd player

That extra port length will also modify the tuning Frequency that the RF-3 was designed to have, and it may make the speaker sound like, well, **** . So be warned. ------------------ JVC 36" tv Technics DA-10 Reciever Klipsch KSW-10 sub Shiva/AVA250 DIY sub Klipsch RC-3 II Center Klipsch RB-3 Surounds Nuance Fronts Hitachi DV-P415U dvd player

Well, the thing I have heard about getting the RF-7's is that they will drown out the RC-3, much like how the RC-3 is drowning out my Nuances. The RF-7's are 2 grand however, and it would take me a few months to get the cash. My dad paid for the RC-3 and RB-3's so I can't sell them or trade them, but I will be taking whichever speakers I buy when I move out, so I could always get a matching center when that happens. I think I've narrowed it down to the RF-7 or the RF-3, and that's a huge difference in price, so the decision is huge and I hope whatever one I make won't kill me with regret. ------------------ JVC 36" tv Technics DA-10 Reciever Klipsch KSW-10 sub Shiva/AVA250 DIY sub Klipsch RC-3 II Center Klipsch RB-3 Surounds Nuance Fronts Hitachi DV-P415U dvd player

Well, I finally decided it's time to upgrade my front speakers which are Nuance with an 8" mid and a Silk Dome tweeter. I have Klipsch Reference everywhere else, a RC-3 II for the center and RB-3's for the rears. I was in the dealer today and got prices on the RF-3 II's, RF-5's, and the RF-7's. I was only able to listen to the RF-7's and RF-5's as they had no RF-3's in stock. Obviously the RF-7 sound incredible, and the RF-5 wasn't far behind, and they both sounded WAY better than what I was expecting, my god they are lovely. Any ways, I am good friends with the owner of the shop so I'll be getting what I think to be a smoking deal, but it makes the decision between the 3 WAY harder. Here are the price breakdown, in Canadian funds: RF-3 II = (Retail $1400) my cost $680 RF-5 = (Retail $2500) my cost $1440 RF-7 = (Retail $3800) my cost $2088 So, as you can see these are some dam good prices. My original plan was to go for the RF-3's, but I would like to get the Cherry Veneer and the RF-3's don't offer that. The price of the RF-7's is almost 2 grand off retail so I am seriously considering these now, and god would I love them. My questions are these: 1. What one is the best deal for the money. 2. What one would integrate with my RC-3 and RB-3's the best. 3. Would I really be better off spending 2 grand on the monster RF-7's?? Help me make my decision guys, I want a pair BADLY!

Also try using a "Y" cable to split the signal into both the RCA inputs on the KSW amp. I did this and noticed way more volume without having to adjust the sub volume or reciever. Try it out ------------------ JVC 36" tv Technics DA-10 Reciever Klipsch KSW-10 sub Klipsch RC-3 II Center Klipsch RB-3 Surounds Nuance Fronts Hitachi DV-P415U dvd player

Haha, this is too funny. My cats couldn't care less about my speakers, even when they are cranked, strange little critters they are. ------------------ JVC 36" tv Technics DA-10 Reciever Klipsch KSW-10 sub Klipsch RC-3 II Center Klipsch RB-3 Surounds Nuance Fronts Hitachi DV-P415U dvd player

the KSW-10/12 or the PW2200 would be your best bet for the money. If you want an even better "bang for your buck" then maybe consider getting into DIY. A 12" driver (adire Audio Shiva) is $125, 250 watt rms Plate amp is $135 (Parts Express #300-794), and materials would be less than $100. This sub would able to compete with subs costing well over $1000 bucks if you put it in the right box.

It's an interesting idea, but I'm sure there is a good reason for not using one in a home theater application. Of course I don't know what the reason is. ------------------ JVC 36" tv Technics DA-10 Reciever Klipsch KSW-10 sub Klipsch RC-3 II Center Klipsch RB-3 Surounds Nuance Fronts Hitachi DV-P415U dvd player
