kriller7000dk Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Hi, guys. Young dude from Denmark - small country in Europe. I've just bought a pair of RF-7 II's. Upgrading from the older RF-35 - nice speaker though. I'm using an Onkyo SR-875 Surround receiver now it's have good power. But now when i have invested in RF-7 what would you recommend to get the best out of my new speakers? Cabels are Nordôst spellbinder Budged is about 2000$ Kristian From Denmark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ski Bum Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 I have no idea what exchange rates are right now, but $2K offers a wide envelope of choices. I would give some ss class A a chance, and consider tube amps as well. Tubes and Klipsch is like chocolate and peanut butter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Kristian, Welcome to the forum. Your Onkyo TX-SR875 has a very potent amp section for an A/V receiver and should be okay to run your new RF-7II's. To really get the most out of them, I would suggest you get an outboard amp with a lot of current that will handle the low impedences of your speakers. I am not sure what brands are readily available in Denmark but for $2000.00 US, you should have no problem finding something. I like NAD and B&K(currently out of business) amps which have no problem driving any of my speakers. Emotiva is another high value/lower cost amp that may be available in your area. Are you looking to get a 2-channel amp or multichannel amp? Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kriller7000dk Posted November 29, 2010 Author Share Posted November 29, 2010 Hi, Bill Thanks for the varm welcome. I'm looking after a 2-channel amp. I'm working in Oslo in Norway and dropped by a hifi store.They had the brand new Tannoy Kingdom Royal as a demo with some HUGE Mcintosh amps. After i've heard that i was sure to choose the 2-channel and not the 9-channel power amp from Onkyo. Here in DK, you can find almost anything for the right price. The problem is Klipsch is a very unkown brand overhere. No hifi store has speakers for demo, not even the danish import dealer know how the RF-7II sounds. So i can't go out and listen to the speakers with different amps. The only demo rooms there is - is probably me and my boses living rooms.:-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kriller7000dk Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 Hi, again. Taking this thread up one more time. What would be a good 2 channel tube amp, if I use it as a PA. Budget still about 2K. I've tried a Vincent tube amp. Didn't lift up soundstage much. Heard the Preamp in my Onkyo isn't the best. Anyone tried the Anthem reciecvers.? Perhaps a mix with Anthem and a tube amp or other suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vital Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I have heard that Anthem sounds great, I doubt you can go wrong with their gear. Yes, Volbeat rocks! I run Emotiva amps with my RF-7s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arky Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I have a friend using an Anthem amp with original 7's. It sounds very nice. His front end is a Yamaha receiver & i'm not much of a Yamaha fan with Klipsch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leftwinger57 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 if running usedis good foryou than AN AdcomGFA555 200WPC FOR AROUND $300 US would be more than enough to push those.BTW what is the power rating in Demark,some U.S.. models are not 220v convertable and I'm not sure of a step/down x-former.

kriller7000dk Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 Power rating is 230V/50hz. Maybe I just should try a H/K 990 as PA. Before my Onkyo I had an H/K integrated stereo amp running JamoX870. With SERIOUS punch in from a single 10" bass. What do you guys think of that mix.?

cubdog Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I use my RF 7IIs for two channel only and am quite happy driving them with Bel Canto M300 mono blocks. The Bel Cantos are reputed to have a "tube like sound". All I know is that I have a nice sounding combination. cubdog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
