Good Morning All:
Looking at the date of the last posting, I'm obviously 4 years late to the game.
So, I've been searching and researching for a good pair of front speakers so; I settled on the Klipsch RF7-III's. Given the price-point and not ready to take a gamble on $4K pair of speakers, I decided to try a pair of used Klipsch speakers...you know, a sorta try before you buy....
I luckily (on 24 Dec 2020) pulled up a listing for a pair of CF-3's Ver.1's so, I grabbed them. I paid $650 for the pair and did validate their authenticity (Ver. 1); Also, they had Dynamat dampening applied to the horns and speaker baskets, Crossover capacitors were upgraded with Mundorf EVO and Claritycap film capacitors. Now, some may say I paid too much for them but I figured that $650 vs $4K may not be so bad. Let me say that I'm soooo impressed with these speakers. Never knew that speakers could sound good. And it seems like the more power you throw at them, the better they sound. I'm not disappointed at all. Right now, I have a pair of Outlaw M2200 monoblock driving them until I hook them up to my Emotiva XPR-2. Cant wait to hear them then. So, I wonder; if the CF-3's sound this good, what about the RF7-III's? Thanks for allowing me to post.
