Snow is gone , 50F here , strong winds and heavy rain , received a letter from my health insurance today , my rehab will start at feb 12. till march 5th. Looking forward to that health treatment and trainee as I can´t stand these daily pains anymore, I´m tired to take so much pills against the pain since a couple of month. My Liver will be glad as well 😂

Still having too much problems with my Wlan in that apartment , the providers net isn´t perfect in this part of the city , it´s too slow and takes to much time to load a thread and follow up all posts in the kc. However....I´m with you 🤠

Your setup is beautiful but I wonder how you could have these in an apartment and not be evicted? Even in a condo without getting warning letters from the association would be beyond my mind.

😂 quiet funny ....AH ...they don´t need much power to reproduce a real impressive soundstage and 3 D holographic sound image in your listening room . Normal listening room levels around 70 dBA are fine , but I must admit that I´m a kind of audioholic since my youth , that´s why I have this range of different audio gear .

I’m more tempted than ever to open mine up and audition them than just trying to sell them as sealed units as they are now.

What is this VIABLUE? You have your 7s biamped?

Indeed , the walnut RF 7 II are the most beautiful RF´s ever built by Klipsch . These´re the origins

Here´s a pic how to unbox them , it´s from the owners manual

The " ViaBlue Terminal is a german one, du to my re-design works it wasn´t possible to use the origin Terminal again.

That´s the origin Klipsch

And Yes I bi-amp them either with the ss amp, the class D or the tube monos. The best acoustical solution is to use the tube monos for the high pass and the class D for the low pass. That´s ultra stunning

@Mycuff Don't worry about a thing with that turntable. He's got room for ONE more tone arm! I can't wait. I KNOW it's gonna happen! 😂

You see Dave , the problem is if I gonna do that , how shall I put a disc onto the platter ? 😂 NO, it´s fine like it is ! And I´ve got an option to make a heavy tonearm out of the middel heavy MA 505 , all I need is to use a much heavier headshell than it´s a heavy one , I did that with my AT V7 MM allready beacuse this cart needs a heavy tonearm for optimal scanning

If you're planning on using the RF-7II's for 2 channel, I'm sure someone out there has a good recommendation for an amp.

I own a pair of RF7 II in Walnut as well, they´re quiet rare in europe, that´s where I life. I re-designed my RF7 II a bit , optical and technical . Pics ´re from my previouse apartment.

other bi wire terminals

these´re my diy bi wire external x-over

I have different options to power them up . With a Marantz integrated PM 11-S3 SS , Cayin Tube Monos 929 D, Italien GoldNote M9 Class D Monos and different Pre Amp options as well . With a solid transistor amp they sound very good , with a Class D Solution they sound much better than a transisitor amp, they´ll shot you into heaven using a tube solution , should have approx. 50 W /8 Ohm , maybe a KT 88 Amp integrated or tube pre and power stage like I have as well. But it´s w/out using the RC 64 Center , so a multichannel solution requires another amp. But I don´t want forget to mention that the origin RF7 II have a great soundstage even w/out the center speaker .

That turntable rig is insane. I assume there is a reason for the two tonearms, but if you already have perfection what does the 2nd one get you?

The reason is that my collection of cartridges needs a very light tonearm , thats the SME 3009 ( left side ) and a middel heavy tonearm , thats the MA 505 ( right side ) . They all have different needle compilances.

If you want to get more aknowledgement I´ll kindly refer to read this thread
