Vonrebel Posted March 27, 2002 Share Posted March 27, 2002 Has anyone heard the Klipsch RP-5 speakers. A floor standing tower speaker with an 8" woofer, Horn, plus a 15" KSW built in sub woofer, with a 550 on board power amp. Two of these floor speaker give two 15" powered KSW subs, 2 K105K Horns, and two 8" woofers.

stvans Posted March 29, 2002 Share Posted March 29, 2002 I bought a pair of these on UBID. These are excellent speakers. The 8 inch midrange really brings out the mids very well. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonrebel Posted March 29, 2002 Author Share Posted March 29, 2002 I wonder if the RP-5s are better than the RF-7s. Ha! ha haaaaa! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 well...they will produce more bass - but they won't sound better overall you need to start saving your money and get some SVS-ultras or a Klipsch RSW-15 what amp are you using with your RF7's? ------------------ dean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonrebel Posted March 31, 2002 Author Share Posted March 31, 2002 Currently running a Yamaha RX-V3000. I have already and recently, received in detail, input from this forum, relating to what I perceive as a lack of Bass, from my new RF-7s. & The verdict is clear, I need to add (replace) at least one SVS or equal sub. No question. The RF-7s are a fine speaker. It just happens that I enjoy hearing extra bass and was a tad bit dis-a-pointed with the RF-7s bass. I expected a harder thum and bump. My expectations were (Based on the looks) of those two 10" woofers and price.) Lately I have been researching Klipsch & others speakers in the (2,000.00 price range)to use for 2 ch music. Speakers that may focus or speciallize more in the low v/s the highs, with out loosing the claridy, if possible. Since it is difficult to listen to every speaker I post here asking for opinions. I enjoying all types of music, so when I have the extra cash to splurge(and even when I don't) I am going to invest in 3 or 4 different sets of speakers solely for the purpose of playing 2 channel music. Allowing me enjoying 3 or 4 different styles and sounds of music. A hobby. And Just for the record: I am perfectly satisfied with the RF-7, RS-7 and RC-7 for Home Theater. 250% Couldn't be happier, no complaints. Music on the other hand I'm looking for variety, why only drink Coke when there is Pepsi, Beer.....Ha Sometimes my post may not make sense, seem or be repetitive, but I mean well and I come here in Peace seeking Knowledge. Ha! So Thanks to you all for the information Yamaha RX-V3000 Klipsch RF-7s, RS-7s RC-7 Velodyne 1012 VLF sub Altec A-7s Panasonic 51" HDTV Sony DVD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mlstrass Posted March 31, 2002 Share Posted March 31, 2002 I auditioned the RP-5's a few months ago and personally didn't care for them. Something in the sound seemed to be missing; upper bass/lower mid, not sure, but just sounded hollow in the middle. Not bad at low volumes but very noticeable to me when played loud. Seemed better as a HT speaker. But don't judge by my ears, give them a listen. Dual SVS's may be the answer as MANY like the Klipsch/SVS marriage. Good luck...Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
