Yo. It looks like one of the woofers on my RB3's is gone. I'm assuming it blew due excessive volume. It's probably not covered under warranty. Does anyone know roughly what it might cost to replace a reference 6.5" woofer? TIA Jeff

Yo...perfect conndition & 18.00 to ship to 91737. I'll get some close up pics later Jeff

BTW, Her'es a Pic:

Yep, I got your PM & I just replied. Jeff

Yep, I can pop off some pics & post later. Shipping would be more of a hassle with the RF's but I can do it. Jeff

After struggling for a while on placement, I'm ready to try something new. I just find the sound a bit too bright with my Outlaw 950. At 1st, I loved this combo but I guess my taste in changing. All mint condition with Boxes & receipts from The Little Guys & Tweeter RF3-II's: $400.00 Rc3-II: $175.00 RB3's: $300.00 I'd rather not ship if I don't have to. I'm in Plainfield, IL & travel to Chicago every day so delivery in the "Chicagoland Area" isn't a problem. Jeff

Yo. Maybe it's me, maybe it's the placement of the speakers ,my Outlaw 950 or the source but it seems like I get more oomph from my right channel for bass. There is movement on both woofers on the left speaker. Should that confirm that they are both working properly or will one woofer cause the other's movement from vibration? Should I open up the speaker to check it? I'm gonna swap the speakers later & listen for any difference. TIA Jeff

Ya might have to break that down nut it sounds good to me. I bought all of my ref speakers locally for: Tweeter: RC3II: 278.00 The little guys: RF3II: 698.00 RB3II: 525.00 Jeff

Heya. I live in Plainfield & work in Chicago but I can get just about anywhere within reasonable distance. Jeff

So far, ATI is the only amp I've used so I can't compare it to anything. I wouldn't describe it as harsh tho. This is interesting cause I will be buying an amp sooner or later. I never really grasped the concept of different amps having different sounds. I would expect the Outlaw amp to sound similar to the ATI. It is my understanding that ATI makes or designed Outlaws amps with some variations in the parts used. Jeff

I have something to say.... the 950 ROCKZ!! I don't have the 770... I have 2 ATI amps 1504 & 1506 on loan to me. The ATI amps are great but I'll probably get the 770 for color matching. I have been using this combo for about 3 weeks with: Fronts: RF3II Center: RC3II Surround: RB3 Rear surround: Polk In ceiling SUB: PSB TV & DVD's get the most use with the occasional audio CD listening. PLII with Cirrus (adds rear surround) is awesome in Cinema & music mode. I listen to a lot of satellite music in PLIIC music mode at ear bleeding volume and it is about the cleanest thing I have ever heard. DVD's are awesome and I find myself being WOWed by the simplest things like TV commercials My last receiver was a Pioneer 811s. It had all the surround modes but a lot of hiss & background noise. The 950 is crisp & clean with no background noise unless the source is bad. Shortly after getting the 950 I hooked up the 811s and did a full weekend of A/B listening to make sure the Outlaw was for me & it was clearly superior. $500.00 addl. superior??? Yep! I'm glad I stumbled on Outlaw. I have seen the 950 compared to Pre/Pros priced at 2-3 times the cost. I originally started researching when someone on this forum suggested a 1050. As a bonus, the Outlaw service & community is great. Jeff

Heyaz. I'm thinking of replacing my RF3II's with RB5's on stands. I struggled with this early on but decided to go with floor standers. If anyone is interested please reply. I bought them @ "the little guys" an authorized dealer in Dec 2002 for 700.00 + tax. They are in mint condition. I'm in a southern suburb of Chicago....not interested in shipping them. 625.00 for pair. Jeff

My RC3 just doesn't seem right to me. It sounds a bit thin and sometimes it seems like there's a vibration on voices. I am pretty anal about sound so it may just be me... no one else seems to hear it....could be the receiver too. I was thinkin about bringing it back to Tweeter to compare it to another RC3 but I'm wondering if I should just go to a RC7?? I have RC3II's (front), RB3's (rear) Pioneer Elite vsx-41 and an ATI 1506 amp. I know Klipsch doesn't recommend RC7/RF3II combo BUT another retailer suggested the RC7 would be no prob. Any feedback would be appreciated. TIA Jeff

so it IS ok that the volumes sound different because of the tampered array ?? Jeff

Heyaz! I have an RC3II and RF3II's for fronts powered by a Pioneer Elite 41 (the cheap one) and an ATI 1506 amp. I can't tell for sure but it seems like my center is really bright at times. I also noticed that the left woofer (facing speaker) seems to have more powerful sound while the right sorta compliments the sound when TV (Direct TV) is the source. Should both woofers put out the same sounds? Maybe it's me...I can't quite put my finger on it but I'm concerned that something may be wrong with it. It DOES sound better with DVD's but the "brightness" seems a little exaggerated at times...like I can hear the whistling in every "S" I've always been anal about sound so it's difficult to say if it's me or the speaker. any thoughts? TIA Jeff

prodj101: Thanks for the heads up but I decided to go with floor standers. Just showing my appreciation for the reply. Jeff

I couldn't resist... I went with the RF3II's. I got a great deal at a place called "The Little Guys" in a suburb of Chicago that I found on the Klipsch dealer locator. I basically paid online price with the benefit of a full warranty and the NOW factor... very painless. They are sitting in my garage & I probably won't set them up til I close on my new house Wed. I could tell you about the nightmare I had attempting to buy these speakers online, but that may not be appropriate for this forum Jeff

TY! Jeff

Heyaz! I'm really torn between bookshelf or floor standers for my fronts. Other than bass, Is there any real advantage with the floor standing? I have listened to both & I like both better WITH a sub so if bass is the biggest advantage, I may want to get the bookshelf. This is tough cause the house is new & I'm looking for the best sound/decor combo. TIA Thade

Does anyone know what stands are being used in pics of the sb-3 and sb-5 in Klipsch photo gallery? TIA Jeff

I agree, timber matching is not as critical in the rear as it is in the front. How do you like the SF2's? I'm torn between reference & synergy for my new home theater. I'll be using a lower end receiver: Pioneer Elite VSX-41. Do you expect to get a MUCH better sound from the Reference? I have heard them all at the store but it's difficult to choose one over the other...I like them all. Jeff

Heyaz! I'm moving into a new house next week & I originally planned an all Klipsch Reference series HT with RF3II (front), RFC3II (center) and RS3II (surround). The original plan was to ceiling mount the rear surrounds as the kitchen is directly behind the HT room. I have speaker wire runs in the ceiling. The in ceiling speaker runs were not custom, they were included in the house. I just did a final walk thru & decided that there is no way I can mount the RS3II's in the ceiling because: 1) Too Big 2) They are directly over the listening area (my recliner location) so the only way I would hear them is to point them straight down which would cut off the rest of the room...and look silly. Sadly, I'll have to refuse the UPS guy...my RS3's are coming today. The alternatives are: 1) Bookshelf speakers on stands: (RB-3II's) 2) In ceiling speakers firing straight down and agled into the room RCR5) The in ceiling speakers would work best for the room but will I get good surround? Also, my reciever is a Pioneer Elite v-41 (the cheap one) that puts out "110 watts" to all channels. Should I be concerned that the in ceiling Klipsch speakers are 50 watts maximum continuous (200 watts peak) Any help would be appreciated. TIA, Jeff
