I have a pair of KG 1.2 speakers, and over the years, one of them has developed a bad woofer (the 6.5 inch driver). I would suspect that if I replace one, I should also replace the other to keep them closely matched in sound and performance. First off, does Klipsch still offer the original drivers and if so, anyone have a ballpark idea of cost of each driver? Secondly, would I be better off replacing the driver with an updated model, such as the 6.5 inch driver from the in wall speaker (RCW-3), or the one used in the RB3? If I were to upgrade to a newer driver, would it just drop in using the same mounting clips as used in the KG 1.2? Would it be cheaper to scrap them and just buy a new pair of RB5's or RB3's? Thanks in advance! Bob

The new models Replace everything below the RF-5 and all of the Synergy models. Those new RF-7s have not been eclipsed. ---------------- OK, does this mean the RF-7, and RC-7 will remain unchanged for the next couple of years? I ask because I have decided that my system will be comprised of an RC-7 center, and 6 total RF-7 speakers (mains, surrounds, and back surrounds). I can't afford to buy them all at once, and I don't want to wind up with a mismatch or having to buy used. Undecided on the subwoofer at present, but my top choice right now would be a Velodyne HGS-12. My current system is comprised of a pair of Fortes (best speaker Klipsch put out in my opinion) for L + R, RC-3 II center, and KG 1.2s for the surrounds. Currently no rear surrounds nor sub, but working on it. Thanks for any info you can provide.
