Danny should work for the government.... he has all sorts of solutions to sell to the public! Did anyone notice his tests on the RF-7II on you tube..... well here is a screen shot from the intro of his video. Notice the position of the horn....yep, that's 90 degrees off! But hey, he has his tube connectors back in stock now... a couple-o-dollars worth of parts made in china that he's willing to sell you for only $59... what a bargain. Here was my comment I left of his video: I hope you didn't test the speaker you have pictured right next to you. The tweeter is installed 90 degrees off! That would change all of the measurements... a lot!!!! But, I guess it would allow you to sell more parts to "fix" it... granted everyone who buys these upgrade kits would have to rotate both their horns to match! For someone with all of your claimed expertise, you think you would notice a detail like that.

I thought I would, but I don't. Yes, I've owned and enjoyed these for a long time, but I recently purchased a set of RF-7II's in cherry for a very good price. (Not in as nice of condition though...) I now have a "one in and one out" speaker policy, so I did a lengthy A/B comparison between the RF-83's and the RF-7II's. They both sounded very similar and there was no obvious winner. There were actually 2 things that made me keep the RF-7II's over the RF-83's.... 1) The saxophone sounded a little more natural on one of the many audition songs. 2) My better half said she liked the fact that the Rf-7II's seemed a little less tippy.... and with two young ones, ages 4 and 5, that was the deciding factor.

Hello everyone, I figure I would wait at least a decade to add my 2 cents... At least this will be correct for speakers made this year, as was stated, this changed many times. Serial # 8867055 / 8867056 Speakers where built in 1988 during the months of October and November. I'm guessing that the numbers in the parenthesis means that they were started on October 19 and finished on October 31 as that's what the sticker inside pretty much coincides with. Close up... The tweeter driver has"8840" and I'm assuming the first two numbers are the production year for that, unless that's an unlikely coincidence. I hope this helps a bit.

Hello all, I am selling a unique pair of speakers. They have an interesting history as well. (see link below) Basically, they are built by Polk Audio and were designed by Arnie Nudell from Infinity. They are in overall excellent condition: All drivers are in perfect 10/10 condition. The speaker grills show no signs or ware, snags, etc. 10/10 The cabinets are an 8/10 due to their age and are very presentable. These speakers have 7 drivers each creating an amazing sound-stage. The are dipole, and you can chose to turn off the back firing drivers if you wish. They seem to be direct competition to the Definite Technology designs but with 2 10" front firing woofers each instead of single side firing ones. There is a ton of info online about their history and sound quality. https://www.psaudio.com/askpaulvideo/the-story-behind-eosone-speakers/ I removed the amps, as one was not working when I bought them and I could not easily find another one at the time. So, I created filler plates out of 3/4 birch and inserted quality banana plug binding posts so that you can use a high quality external amp to drive the 10" woofers. (Much better option anyway!) For an extra $100 I will include a Definitive Technology Powerfield external subwoofer amp that drives the 10" woofers very well to create a balanced system. You can also use your processor set up to drive an external amp of your choice as well. I will demo so that you can verify everything works perfectly. I may even have some bourbon to sip on while you listen! I am a teacher, so I can usually do any time after 4 during the week and usually most weekends. Let me know if you have any specific questions. I'm asking $450 for members ($550 w/amp) Location 60511 Far Western Burb of Chicago For those of you who don't know me, I have been a speaker enthusiast since junior high when I built my first set of speakers from random speaker parts I bought from my neighbors garage sale! I love both playing and listening to music. I enjoy buying different speakers and hearing how they sound. I also like to refinish/repair/upgrade if necessary and bring them back to looking and sounding wonderful again. However, through the years, I have amassed more speakers than my growing family can handle, so I have a new policy of "one in and one out"....with the speakers, not the kids! From the web: Product Key Features • Radiant Surround Field Technology – 7 Driver “Beasts” • Form Factor: Floor-Standing Tower, 93 lbs. each • Audio Inputs: Combined Banana Jack, Raw Cable Jack • Retailed for $2400/pair. • Model: RSF 1000 • Subwoofer Type: Selectable between Passive or Powered • RMS Power: 120W • Sensitivity: 89 db RSF 1000 Passive Section – 5 High & Midrange Speakers Front Driver Complement: 1 x 0.75’’ Tweeter, 1 x 4’’ Midrange, 1 x 6.5’’ Mid/Woofer - Sealed Enclosures for Midrange Rear Driver Complement: 1 x 0.75’’ Tweeter, 1 x 6.5’’ Midrange Crossover Frequencies: Front Elements: 850 Hz, 5.2 KHz Rear Elements: 5k Hz RSF 1000 Powered Section – 2 Woofers 2 x 10’’ Woofers Crossover Frequency: Adjustable 50 -100 Hz, Power Level Adjustable Enclosure Type: Ported, Bass Reflex Power into actual load: 120W Features: Dipolar with Adjustable Crossover Power Handling (RMS): 120 Watts RMS Frequency Response: 22 Hz - 22kHz Sensitivity (dB): 90 dB Nominal Impedance (Ohms): 8 Ohms Dimensions: 49” H X 12.5” W X 18.5”D Weight: 93 lbs. each.

Sorry, no. Mine died as well, so the one I had was for parts only. My suggestion is to check out some options at parts express: https://www.parts-express.com/search?order=relevance:desc&keywords=plate amplifiers I made a blank panel with speaker inputs to fill the space the amp was mounted. Then I just used an external amp to power the sub. Unfortunately, Klipsch is not known for their reliable sub amps.

Sold to the same guy who just bought my RF-83's!

Sold to a nice guy from Peoria, IL.

$250 local $300 shipped?

I know it's not super helpful, but there is a single KG1 on OfferUp in Chino, CA for $53

Sale pending...

My guess is 2 main reasons: 1) Cost - Even though it would be minimal, the accounting department would go crazy!!!! The same reason many speakers don't have a simple cross brace or two in a larger cabinet. 2)Manufacturers couldn't boast how low their speakers play over another brands speaker.... even though it may be at -10dB!!! (Same reason some companies boast that their speakers play up to 40khz!) I used to DJ back in college and do weddings and school dances, etc. afterwards to supplement my great pay as a teacher. I ran a three way system, but always a 4 way crossover. I would cut my subs (high pass) at 40hz. I would still get that chest pounding bass without worrying about over excursion on my subs.

Hello, With the cost and potential chance of damage during shipping, I don't even want to attempt it. At this point, I want to keep the drivers with the box, as if I sell the drivers I wouldn't ever get rid of the box unless I put it at the curb... and it deserves better than that! You would be better off finding something local.

Anyone want this before it goes to parts nirvana?

Weekend bump.

Bueller?

How about $275 local and $335 shipped?

This is like buying a nice pair of RF-3 II's with their typical woofer damage for $125. Then, you know the little creases in the woofers will drive you nuts, so you buy 4 brand new updated Klipsch drivers for $450 and spend 45 minutes installing them with direct solder connections. Well, I did all of this for you already! So come get a really nice pair of RF-3 II's and spend your time enjoying some music and not swapping out components.

How about $150?
