TheFactor Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Just got back from auditioning The Klipsch RF7II and I must say :eek: there fricken huge I mean I knew the dimensions but actualy seeing them there 4ft tall with dual 10 inch drivers and are absolutely beautiful in the black veneer . I think the cherrys out because it would make them look even bigger in my HT. Now for the sound MMMmmm MMMMMMMMMMMMM :rock: VERY CRISP and dynamic I totaly love the sound its in your face but not to much. Not as laid back as what im use to it actually took a good 30 minutes before they started to grow on me and getting use to the new sound. I listened for a total of about 90 minutes switching back from the 82II and the 7II . I was hoping I'd like the 82 as much because of the smaller foot print and price difference :eek: But no such luck although I think if I didnt do a A B comparison I would of been happy with the 82's but 7's just sounded more defined and just more open sounding. Anyway so now its time to get my tape rule out and do some measuring to see if they'll fit its going to be tight:eek: Again the 82's sounded great the 7s said take me home : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdm56 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Take them home! Love them and care for them. Be their audiophile and they will be your speakers. They look like monsters and I'd love to hear a pair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFactor Posted October 11, 2010 Author Share Posted October 11, 2010 LOL I think I will they really are beautiful sounding and looking speakers . They are huge though ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Yes, those four foot tall speakers are huge. You should get a pair of the compact, barely three feet tall, La Scalas. They are much easier to see over when you're sitting down. [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFactor Posted October 11, 2010 Author Share Posted October 11, 2010 That sounds like a expensive suggestion though lol [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CopperCone Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Thanks for your quick impression of the 82 II's vs the RF-7 II's. How would you compare the bass/mid response between the two? Makes you wonder if the larger compression driver option was available on the 82 II's if that would have made up all the difference you heard? Alas, that's not an option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 It's all in the budgeting. Who needs a car and a pair of La Scalas? Unless, of course, you use them for your car stereo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are much easier to see over when you're sitting down. I would go with Belles myself . Shorter , shallower and just a bit wider than LaScalas . They litterally dissapear in a room .

Islander Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Exactly! I use a Belle for the centre channel/TV stand and another one for rear centre and people don't even notice them. "Oh, that's a speaker? It's pretty." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes you wonder if the larger compression driver option was available on the 82 II's if that would have made up all the difference you heard? Alas, that's not an option YW I think the best way to describe the difference is a wider sound stage with the 7's and it almost sounded like the highs and vocals were more defined and when I switched back and fourth the sound just seemed to fill the room more with the 7's . Again the 82's were very nice but there was a definite difference and at the price there should be and there was . I think I would of been happy with the 82's if I didnt here the 7's and do a A B comparison . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islander Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Actually, those pix were first posted on the forum years ago. They were so cool, I saved them, but I have no idea whose car and speakers they are. It did look to have a saggy butt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tragusa3 Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I have that car and those speakers, and my eye is telling me that the speakers were photoshopped a bit larger than real life. Anyone know any different? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
