SWL Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 how money do i have? i got around $5000 for the totall system. i need to find a good preamp.... already have the emotiva mono blocks.I believe new LaScala's cost about $5200 a pair. You could find used LaScala l's for half that......or even less.Used RF-7's can be had for $800-$1400.........KLF-30's $600-$1100.......Cornwall's I've seen for $600. I wouldn't give up on used speakers.....they're out there, just gotta be patient. Klipsch owners generally take very good care of their speakers. If I could go back and do it all over again.....I would have been more patient and bought used........could have saved a considerable amount of dough. I have to admit though, sitting here thinking about a brand new pair of LaScala's or Jubs is making me giddy. [] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilMays Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 We were working in the bonus room last night and I was playing my Reference system. Again, for lower volumes their OK. Cranked up they ROCK. Lower volumes I like the heritage lines and higher volumes I like the referance line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerwoodKhorns Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 i would love to go with the rf-7's but i can't find any. I know of a seller in Las Vegas who had a pair of Dean G'd RF7's for sale. If you are interested I can see if he still has them for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrWho Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 The Cornwall III uses the K-700. As a bit of a metalhead myself, I can't think of a worst candidate for that kind of music at high SPL's. It sounded just fine down in Hope - was definitely one notch better than the RF-83 in the same room/same music. I also very much prefer the sound of the RF-83 to that of the RF-7.

Tag 1.7 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 If you don't want to use subs it is CRITICAL that you choose a pre amp with tone controls and preferably also with loudness. I have a pair of LaScala II's and a Velodyne DD18 sub. When I had a pre amp with no tone controls (the standard audiophile straight wire with gain), Bass was non-existant. Then I got a great pre amp, a McIntosh C41 with bass and treble and loudness and when listening with the sub off and the bass turned up to full, the sound fills right out with plenty of quality deep bass. I actually now prefer this sound. If I were you, I'd seriously think about getting a new C41 for $2000 from www.audioclassics.com and a new pair of RF63's which lack very little compared to RF83's. If you buy a used McIntosh C42 pre or the current C46 (though cost may be a bit much) you get an inbuilt equaliser for complete tone adjustment and being McIntosh, it's high quality all the way. That'sd my 0.02c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a sissy speaker -- if you're gonna spend $5000 on speakers buy some LaScalas II! i can't belive you would hate this bad on a line array. one of the most respected men in hifi that has done countless reviews gives this speaker hi marks. one of the best systems i ever heard in my life was a line array... a diy budget one at that. as long as your not standing right in fromt of the speaker, atleast 10' away, your straight. this speaker can play down to 20hz. that's some serious bass!!! please explain why sooo many people are fully satisfied with this speaker if it sux sooo bad. the designer for this system is highly respected. i listened to this speaker myself.... the dynamics, top end, imaging, and bass is some of the best i ever heard in my life. it's all about what sounds good to me, right? thanx for the support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerwoodKhorns Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Class act. We have reached a new low. I was actually going to make some calls to try to hook this guy up with the RF 7's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjgeraci Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 The bunch of us in here are mostly generous, helpful, and friendly individuals. However, trolls sometimes invade the space. In this case, it was someone who fancies himself as the Semitic god named Ba' al (or the modern meaning - "demon," etc.). Beware of those who sign up in the forum and request a thoughtful discussion the first day of signup without any indication they have ever heard (or appreciated) any Klipsch - or more broadly, horns. Hey, I didn't catch it. Carl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 He's not a troll, just someone who got pulled in a different direction then decided to come back here and be a sick jerk. I sure can't see how that line array is going to meet his original requirment: "i'm looking for a tower that can jam like hell for metal without having to use a sub...i'm looking for solid chest pounding kick-drum, clear midrange, and massive drop-tune guitar midbass...for some serious balls to the wall..." A line array is the first thing I think of when I read that, lol! 20Hz my ***. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
