Deang Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Impedance dips at 100Hz and 10kHz. I drove mine with all kinds of tube amps and never had any problems -- they always delivered the goods. What is this stuff about a modded RF-7 sounding like a Reference IV speaker -- please don't use drugs while comparing loudspeakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southern Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 What is this stuff about a modded RF-7 sounding like a Reference IV speaker -- please don't use drugs while comparing loudspeakers. Sorry for the offensive remark Dean. I didn't compare them side by side, in fact they were in totally different environments but my comment was in reference to the smooth high end of the modded RF-7 vs the RF-83, especially if you drive the RF-7 with a tube amp.

SkyDover Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 I took Dean's commet as this, "What is this stuff about a modded RF-7 sounding like a Reference IV speaker" = That he's agreeing it sounds simular. And "please don't use drugs while comparing loudspeakers" = It's not just all in your head. I thought he was just making a funny about it all, maybe I'm reading it incorrectly? I've heard others say the RF-83 is very simular to a modded RF-7. That's why I didn't upgrade to the RF-83, for myself, I really like the sound of the RF-7 better than the RF-83 for my taste after I went between the two comparing them. If you like more presence....you will like the RF-7. If you like it more refined sounding, you will like the RF-83. Both sound good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivernuggets Posted August 5, 2010 Author Share Posted August 5, 2010 I took Dean's commet as.....That he's agreeing it sounds simular... I respectfully disagree SkyDover. I believe he is saying they shouldn't be compared so closely. That a modded RF-7 sounds noticably different from an RF-83. Thanks for all the comments, and keep them coming.

SkyDover Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Ok, thanks. Seems I did mis-read this. I see where Dean said: "I've read in several places around here that a modded RF-7 sounds like an RF-83. I couldn't disagree more." I've been reading the same but Dean cleared this up! I apologise for the confusion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nola000 Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Anybody have any suggestions for upgrading the x-overs in the RF-3s? Or any other mods for the RF-3s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
