Heya!
I believe it isn't the full stack?
"
MWM KLIPSCH 15" K-43 low-frequency Drivers
MSSM KLIPSCH 10" K-41 Upper-bass Driver
MSM KLIPSCH 2 guards hf 4000 drivers.
Plus two bins with eminence woofers.

Is what he said.

Heya everyone!
I'm going to check out an MCM system tomorrow, and I was wondering if anyone has the schematic for the OEM Crossover. I have zero experience with this Pro audio, but I'm so curious how it sounds I just have to buy them haha.
With what do I power this if I have the OEM XO?
Cheers!

Heya everyone!
I bought a used NAD C375. Just installing it now, I was wondering, do I turn the 'soft clipping' switch to on or off? And what does it do?
Cheers!

For HT you need a avr or preamp to run the various movie format. The price for a stereo amp is not that much less than some multichannel amps.
I always think the AVR's are less quality than a dedicated stereo amp or preamp combo

Just remember, the difference off a 100 watt amp and a 200 watt amp is roughly on 3 db. One thing with old used amps, that may require repair or restorative work .
Would you go for a HT receiver or a stereo amp? I don't know if I ever want to get the center. I always feel that the ht receiver have more bang for the buck, but on the other hand I feel like the stereo amps for the same price with less options are better haha.

It sure is....thanks Bill. Don't be fooled by 20Wpch...Luxman quotes class A operation only. It's a very powerful amplifier. (Switches to A/B after 20 watts - think max of 60-70Wpch)
When I first started looking at amplifiers I had the same mind set...more watts is better. For efficient speakers my mind set has definitely changed.
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkIf I could afford that Luxman, Id be so happy haha.

I am really not sure if I said that or not but my Yamaha A-S1000 integrated has bass drive capabilities in abundance.

I don't know if it's I this thread, but about the Yamaha not being the best for the music I listen.

Another option is an avr with preout and a used Acurus 3 or 5 channel amp. I don't use a separate preamp and also use a 40 watt tube amp for my RF 7 II system. I use the SS system or tube system for 2 ch and the SS for HT in my signature.
I've tried finding Acurus here but it's not or very very hard to find :(. I read a lot of good stuff about Yamaha and NAD for the RF7's. I'd like to try something new, like a good preamp with a seperate power amp, like a Sunfire Stereo Amp which has 300 watts each on 8 Ohms. But I don't want to 'risk' getting something finding it's not the best and then letting go of it again...
I listen music where bass is important, mostly electronic music as well. A few others (I believe Bill) said that the Yamaha may not be the way to go for this kind of music.
I'd like to have more watts per channal as I have now, I currently have 80 watts and it's sufficient, but I feel more watts would benefit my RF7's since my source volume is very low.
-
I tthink the Hegel is out of my budget for now, I also dont know if I want a seperate preamp or an intergrated, I do know I want something newer, so not too old. Anyone else with more ideas? What are ya'll using with your RF7's?
-
Yeah I think the rp160m are nice, the dealer also mentioned Epos K1. But can't find any real reviews so I'll pass on that. Is there a bigger monitor currently than the rp160m? Also, is this new horn an improvement over the rf7 mark 2 horn?

Heya everyone,
I've been looking into replacing my Tannoy System 800's for something that's a little more forgiving (the Tannoys sound great, but if the recording isn't the best I can hardly listen to it). I had my eye on the RB81's purely, because it has an 8 inch driver. My main music type is best described as bass heavy. Hence why I was looking at the RB81's.
Has anyone got any experience with using them as a nearfield monitor? I'll be sitting about 1,5 - 2 meters away from them as they'll be placed on my desk.
If anybody has tried any of the other Klipsch bookshelfs as nearfields I'd like to hear from them as well. I saw some nice deals on new RP160 I believe.Cheers!

The preamp is very important for it's sound qualities, processing, EQ, etc. but the amp is what is going to provide the dynamics, punch, bass drive, etc.
A good many preamp/processors to choose from. From $$ to $$$$. Offerings from Anthem, Marantz, Onkyo/Integra, Yamaha, NAD, and others are available on the used, new, and new/refurbished market.
Bill
WIll probably go to the used market, at least for the Preamp haha. How are the Emotiva power amps? Are they any good?

The RC-64II is the matching center speaker.
If you can afford a preamp-processor/amp combo, then that is the route I suggest. Otherwise a top tier AVR with preouts is next best.
Bill
Bill,
Okay, and what pre-amp would you suggest? Or is the pre-amp less important than the power amp? I do want a remote, I had a setup where I had mono amps borrowed from a friend but I had to manually turn them on and off, and since my 2.0 is in my bedroom I didn't listen much since I was too lazy to go out of bed just to turn them on for let's say an hour, a remote control is a must..

I think NAD and Klipsch make a great combination. Been using NAD for years.
Bill
Also been using the C375BEE?

I had my A-S1000 paired with LaScalas and KW-120-THX subs.
I thought it was the best amp I'd ever heard for some things, but it wasn't versatile for home theater use (although it's not intended to be a home theatre amp). I'd love to have another Yamaha A-Sxxx amp, but if I had to pick one amp that had to be a "jack of all trades", using Klipsch, I'd pick something else.
What would you pick for Home Theater then? I'm very interested in picking up the centrer channel to match the RF7 II's one day, it's the RC 62 right? Or is it the 64?
I think my best bed would be a very good receiver with pre outs, or a processor so I can play around with different amps.

An amp with low impedance driving capabilities does not necessarily mean it will have a high damping factor. It just means it is a high current amp that is more stable at lower impedances.
Any of the amps that I suggested will have no issues driving your RF-7IIs. The NAD M3 will have an easy time with the 7IIs.
Bill
I'll check the amps out and see what there is in the used market. I had a NAD C356 with DAC and I found it to be quite bright, I was using it with Tannoy D700's, is this the amps sound? If so, how do they sound with Klipsch's?

Don't get too caught up in damping factor specs. My Acurus amps have a damping factor over 400 which is pretty darn good and does equate to very good bass drive. On the other hand the Luxman R-117 has a damping factor of 80 and it has as much bass drive as any amp/receiver I have ever owned.
Bill
Bill,
Will the low damping not kill my Klipsch's? What is then best to look at? I currently look at pure raw power, but since the RF7's drop that low in impedance I think I'd be better off with something that is very stable at low impedances right? I was looking at some Meridian stuff. Used though, new is to expensive haha

Regarding the Yamaha amps suggested by willland, I felt the A-S1000 I used to have was a great sounding amp for classical types of music, BUT it was really "laid back". It's awesome for Jazz/Instrumental/Vocal music, but if you like Electronic/Rap or plan on using the amp for home theater I don't think it's the best choice.
I was thinking the best to do is get something with pre outs. Since the most amps with good damping factor are insanely expensive. The NAD M3 for instance only has a damping of 150 I believe, and those old Rotel RA 980's have one of a 1000... If I have pre-amps I get the best of both worlds, since I want a remote. Having a set of B speakers would be awesome as well to.

Sorry for us neglecting to respond to this post.
For music only or movies also?
How much $$$ do you want to spend?
Are you looking for a stereo integrated amplifier. stereo preamp/amp combo, preamp-AV processor/multichannel amp combo, or an AVR?
If stereo music is your goal, then look at an NAD-375BEE/DAC, Yamaha A-S1000/A-S2000/A-S1100, Cambridge Audio 851A, Onkyo A-9070, just to name a few.
Bill
Hi Bill, thanks for the reply! I don't really have a budget in mind, I was hoping to go check out the used market, I can't decide between an intergrated or seperate pre amp and amp. I saw a nice old Meridian, I've also seen a Rotel Ra 980 BX, if I take this route I'll be using it as a power amp, since it has a damping of 1000 and I think I need this high Damping for my Klipsch. Is the damping factor the most important to look at? I need at least a 100 watts since my Mac (my only audio source) puts out an ridiculously low volume.
I'd like an optical in, but this is not a must, I mostly play streaming audio from Deezer or just MP3's. I have zero interest in going to lossless since a lot of my music is not available lossless.
I also like to get a matching center for the Klipsch but in my current setup they're close together so I don't need one yet.

Heya everyone!
I've purchased a pair of RF7s a while back and been looking for a new amp. My old Yamaha Dsp A1 died so I need a new one. Currently using the Yamaha 3090 which is the previous model of the DSP A1, but I feel I need more power, the sound going out of my Mac is very very low.
I was wondering, what amp do I need, and how important is damping factor? I know what it is but I read people using vintage stuff with a damping factor of 40 and such. That Yamaha A1 had a damping of 200 and yet it was capable of driving my friends Tannoy D900 and even the Tannoy Kingdom with ease. Problem is, they're getting quite old and it's at the end of its lifespan. If anyone can help me out with amp suggestions, I live in Europe so we don't have all the US brands here. I don't mind a used amplifier if it's not too old or serviced obviously. I only need 2 channels for now, if its able to run 2 pair of speakers that be great, and an optical input would be great if possible.
Cheers!

You can always make them from a cheap mattress pads. If it work, cover the pad with cloth for a more permanent fix.
Thanks for the tip!

Room harmonics have a great deal to do with bass sound. Try moving the speakers around a bit and consider location of major furniture since a couch or soft chair is a great absorber of bass. Try a throw rug directly in front of the speaker which often makes a huge improvement. THEN try foam.
This is no option, I'm fairly limited with the setup. And it's also for the "oomph" the RF creates. The plugs cost me 1.5 euro's each. Does anybody know the exact size?
Maybe i can try small rugs, like bathmats, would this help?

Heya everyone!
As some of you may know, I've recently got my new Klipsch RF-7 II's and I've been enjoying them a lot!
I notice at some songs the impact or the 'oomph' is a little bit too much, and I'm guessing this is because of the placement, they're at a sloping side which basically guides the bass port towards me. I was hoping adding some foam plugs to them might get them a little bit more controlled. Does anyone got any inputs on this? I was thinking the foam should be cylindrical (obviously) and the diameter would be around 15 cm. Does length matter for them?
Cheers!
