I'm using a Denon AVR 790 and the RF-3's sound really good. BUT i've got a itch to splurge and treat myself to some new speakers. I'm very impulsive lately. I'm selling my Yamaha RX-995. Thinking of selling the RF-3's. They're in really really good shape. What's the going price you've seen for a pair? Thanks

Yes i do have that sub. That RS-3 price is for the pair right?

RC-3 center and RS-3 surrounds

Thank you for your input. I might just sell the tower,sub,surrounds, and center as i don't use them for my tv (don't watch much), instead of having all these speaker in my room when i just really want to listen to stereo music. With the money a get from the sale treat myself and spurge on a new pair (don't know what). The stroke has me reeling a little and kind of confused as what to do. I just want to hear really good music soon,

Yes,yes and yes. When he said that i called bulls**t.

So i guessing you take the bottom woofer out and put the new crossover thru that hole and place on the bottom? I called Klipsch and the guy i talk to went to a tech and came back and suggested the harshness was because my yamaha RX-V995 at 100 watts being under powered for that 125 watt speaker. He said if my crossovers looked good (which they do) he wouldn't replace them same with the tweeter if it wasn't blown it's probably ok? A little confused. From Bob :If there is room, I like to mount the crossovers in the bottom of the cabinet. The board these are built on is 6 X 10.5 inches. If there is not room, I suggest on a side or back whichever is easier. We put velcro tabs on the board corners, but I suggest one hole be drilled in the new board for one wood screw to help the Velcro out. That is probably not needed for floor mount, but I would probably do that anyway.

Is the diaphragm something i should be concerned about replacing? Which woofer do you think would need to come out? Sorry for the stupid questions

I'm going to have to take both woofers out to do the crossovers correct? This is the link he sent to do the tweeter. https://critesspeakers.com/replacing_the_diaphragm_on_.html

I'm getting ready to order new tweeters from Bob. I believe i can replace those. I not sure about doing the crossovers, I think i can and will probably order them. Just since the stroke in Jan i'm not myself, my brain feels mushy and i 've lost my confidence. Probably be a good project to help me get some of that back.

Everything i can find out about this integra sounds really good and that's a hellava a price.

Your right i see that now. Sorry my brain is starting to feel like mush.

That looks good but i'm using the klipsch rws subwoofer 12. Not sure i could plug it into that receiver. Sorry i've not mentioned that in this thread, i'm sure that information would have been helpful.

Great as i'm much more willing to replace the yamaha rx-995 then the speakers. I would like to try the Bob Crites method on replacing the crossover and maybe the tweeter if possible. Wondering if i have to take out the bottom woofer to do that crossover work. I'm not very handy anymore. More of a plug and play guy now. Any suggestion on a power souce for the speakers would be welcomed. Budget around $500-$700 for integrated amp/ or receiver.

Was up way to late last night following a couple of thread on the replacing of the old caps. Was very impressed with what was being done in those threads. I am certainly not as capable as those fellows (especially since the stroke). Looked at Bob Crites site and am very interested in what he's doing. When you say drop in, i'm wondering what that involves?

I really appreciate your help with this thread.

The room is carpeted. I would sell the yammy and am looking for suggestions on a good used integrated amp/ receiver that would pair with these speakers. I am only using this set up for music listening.

Hi I'm new to the forum and have been away from home stereo music listening for years. I have unboxed my old Yamaha RX-V995, Yamaha YP-701 tt with a Shure V-15 Type III cartridge ( new $100 stylus), a crap JVC cd player and Klipsch RF-3 speakers. I am listening to mainly lp's and cd's in 2 channel. The room is 15 x 20. The sound is ok but seems to bright and causing ear fatigue. I don't remember it being this way. I have recently at age 60 suffered a VAD/with stroke (from weightlifting) and before i check out i feel the need to hear some good music. I am willing to replace any of the components except the speakers unless i absolutely have to. Was seeking input on this. Could maybe get a new or used integrated amp and defiantly a new CD player. I believe the RX-V995 has a good DAC in it. Sorry if this is confusing, thats the world my head is currently in alway feel dazed and confused.
