I have a question. Where's the brushhhhhh?

Another Card from my collection . I bought it last christmas , wanted to make a gift to myself. It´s quiet rare . It´s near mint as well . An Ortofon SL 15 MC , has a lot in commen with the old Ortofon SPU´s from the 1960s. Sounds brilliant !

I will be working on my RF7 soon. More info will follow in this thread.

Before you start with possible x-over upgrates it´s better to change the insulation material inside . I did it as well. I used the origin insulation measurement und mirrored them 1:1 inside of the RF7 , as well I damped the horn body . These optimizations had a very positive effect on the sound of the speakers

that´s the daming 10

Here's a picture of my sound system.

The speaker on top of the Klipsch are homemade super tweeters. These are not connected.

Why haven't you connected them yet? , the spikes will be used for carpets only, your RF 7 II will sound better if you gonne remove them as you´got a wooden floor. You also need to toe them more towards your listening position and with the distance to the back wall you have additional variables that affect the bass response .

Hi @MicroMara, I read your topic here. Very interesting. I especially like the terminal plate and the optical revision of the front.

Do you also have pictures of the crossover upgrade?

I never thought that my old thread would still be of interest to anyone, especially since all the important information and pictures have been deleted.

Yes Sir , I still have some pics from the external X-Over ( hope that the Chief Bonehead won´t pay attention to them 😂 )

I have also completely rebuilt the decoupling construction.

If you would like to know anything else, I am at your disposal at any time

New ( vintage ) card in da house 😁

A fine spirit, without a flaw . With a Titanium Nitrite cantilever. Two separate toroidal coils without magnetic core. The toroidal coils are working independent of each other. This design results in lower magnetic losses and distortion, while at the same time reducing the moving mass to a minimum. And this already existed in the 1980s. Today's MC's, where such an effort is made, usually cost over 1,000 €

just because it´s the hype.

I don´t think it´s a hype anymore , for more than 10 years the analog audio sector has been growing steadily.

Just saw this and laffed just a tad. Supertramp - "Live in Paris" just dropped @ $48.95? Insane and prices just keep going up across the board. Crazzzzy!

Indeed Dave , same here in europe. Because of that , many music lovers prefer to buy a cd and their prices moving up as well due to their higher demand.

Btw ..I own the origin pressed Album " Live in Paris" Album twice, can send you one album with german DHL 😂

Or is it the nature of vinyl?

Not of the vinyl , but the mastering from the sound engineering / mastering in the studio.

Hallo, i’m new at this forum.

Does anybody have the cross-over schematics for the Klipsch RF7 II ?

Thanks, Hans

Here´s the x-over schematic from the origin RF7 II . Please take notice that the lines marked in red indicates a theoretical voltage divider in front of the K 701G driver.

Thanks to the Klipsch IT gang for firing things back up for us.

Had to be either @MicroMara or @JohnJ who screwed things up! Sure wasn't any of us. Right? 😂

I´m completely innocent Dave. I thought that the forum was set offline from the management but good to see that it wasn´t. In these modern times of viral communities, Tiktok, Facebook , Instagramm etc. a classical forum like this is old fashioned.

Well , I got my sec. surgery behind me and I recover fast and well. My marriage is still not divorced, the German courts are so overloaded that a divorce in our country can take up to two years. Obviously this is the case with me . It no longer bother me either.

At the moment I'm trying to find a job again and have sent out a few applications and already had my first personal interviews. I think I will soon be able to sign an employment contract, as I still have 4 years until I retire. Let's see what happens.

My vinyl collection is constantly growing because a sec.hand record store opened in my town several months ago. The selection is good, the prices are fair and the quality of the vinyl is excellent. As a rule, I only have to wash the used records once and they are as good as new.

I´ll be back as soon as I can ....
