The new RF7lll has a slight slant to them, like some or all the RP towers do. Does the RF7ll or RF7 slant also? 

No the original rf7 and rf7ii does not have a slant. I have auditioned the rf7ii and rp280f side by side and I have to say the rp280f has a more neutral sound. The highs are not as peircing.  The RF-7 (ii) highs can somewhat be tamed with a warmer sounding equipment and good room treatment.  However, I assume the new RF-7iii will probably have tamed highs which will be more room friendlier and easier to equipment match. I'm purchasing a used pair of rf7ii for now until the rf7iii are released.  I've heard Klipsch is known for long delays in release of new products. 

[Klipsch KL-650 THX or RF-7s?]

Hi guys, I am new to this thread and I have some questions for you Klipsch fans.  I am planning to purchase the Ultra2 THX system minus the subs.  I will doing a 7.2 setup and using KS-525 for my side surrounds but I am having a difficult time choosing between the KS-525 vs KL-525 for the rear surround.  I feel the KS-525 is more versatile as far as seating position but I don't want to hinder SQ either.  Any thoughts?  

 

Also, I am in the market for a seven channel amplifier to power these speakers and I would like some recommendations please.  I have researched so many amps and the more I read the more of a headache I get because you can find good and bad for all amps and so many mixed opinions.  I don't hundred percent trust professional reviews either.  

I have owned the Emotiva XPR-1 in the past and I liked the amps as far as SQ but it did have a low level hum that I did not like.  I called Emotiva and they told me that it was normal.  I am looking for a dead quiet amp that runs cool.  Outlaw sounded good until I read that they run extremely hot.  I live in Arizona and it gets really hot already during the summers.  What are your thoughts on the NAD M27 or Sunfire TGA-7401 with the Ultra2?  Has anyone tried these combos or what are you guys powering your Ultras with?  I prefer an amp with balanced connections to pair with my Marantz AV8802a.
