darylomer12 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 For $1500, they better be like new. I'd see if they will come down on price a little. If you have the chance financially and have the room for them, get em! Just make sure you have a good amp with lot's of power to drive them. If they won't come down on price, I'd look elsewhere...

MoparBob Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Great speaker. They were over $1000.00 each and I think $1500.00 is high. My son has RF 7's with a RC 7 and a pair of RB75's. He was running with out a sub. They have a good bottom end. Not as good as my Cornwalls but still good and much better than the 35's you were looking at.

SuBXeRo Posted October 31, 2009 Author Share Posted October 31, 2009 they are 3 years old, 1500 for the pair, how much you think they are worth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoparBob Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 I want to say that my son bought his for around 1600.00 new about 4 years ago. I would think about 900 - 1100.00 but if he is hard for money low ball him at 700.00 all he can say is no and go from there but have the money in hand to do that.

SuBXeRo Posted October 31, 2009 Author Share Posted October 31, 2009 i offered 1000 for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoparBob Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 That sounds like a good price. Do you look at the specs on them they go to 32hz. Like I said you can run them with out a sub for now and they will out do a 8" sub. You will like them, but they like a little power. He is running a Denon 2307 and it sounded good, but when he used my Carver M500T power amp 250wpc it came alive. That is a great old power amp, I ran in my first home theater.

SuBXeRo Posted October 31, 2009 Author Share Posted October 31, 2009 the guy liked the 1000 offer which is good, i have a sony 5.1 at 100watts a channel, itll do for me now, i live in an apt so really cranking it wouldnt really work anyways. I am planning, one way or another to get an outlaw audio amp and pre/processor in the future, right now they would be run as a 2 channel until i found myself a center.

willland Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 I am not sure what Sony receiver you have but be aware that the RF-7's have some serious low impedence dips and need a high current amp to operate properly. Sony's are not known for their high current receivers unless it is the ES line. Even then their mid level ES's might struggle driving the RF-7's. I just don't want you to fry anything unless you are cooking. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuBXeRo Posted October 31, 2009 Author Share Posted October 31, 2009 the receiver is about 6-7 years old, i am not sure if its the es line or not, im working right now so i cant look lol. I can always adjust the LPF if it becomes an issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoparBob Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 If you clip them your getting the boot. The Outlaw should have the power but I never listen to it. You don't want something that is forward sounding like the Sony. I think that the Sony is very bright. My son has driven his with a Denon 1802 and a 2307 and now the Carver M500T. they all work OK. Look for a RC7 for the center and yes it's big. I think you will like the speakers they are ones that you could be running 20 years from now and still rock.

SuBXeRo Posted October 31, 2009 Author Share Posted October 31, 2009 well the sony is here to stay until i make the big upgrade. I will look into finding that center channel when i get mo money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoparBob Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 That is how I started with my home theater back in 1984. I bought my Cornwalls and didn't have anything to play them with for 6 mo. Buy the best you can and buy a peice at a time. My wife was like, you want to spend how much on speakers. I just said trust me. After we had them for some mo. we went over to a buddies house and heard his system that was low dollar. When we got back in the car, all I heard was F*** You. I said what and said that sound like S*** and ever since when I say I need to spend X dollar she says OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
