gnatnoop Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 The RF7-II narrowly beat out the Bose 901, which is number two on the list. Amazing. (They still make those? People actually still buy them? Unbelievable.) My Klipsch RB-10s beat the Bose 901 by leap and bound! my promedia's kill 901's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandy West Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 I read that Bestcovery selection in the course of researching RF-7 II's before I ordered them. I used Altec A7-500's in my 2-channel stereo system for the last 20 years, so the new RF-7 II's needed to be good to replace them. FYI, an audiophile friend of mine has a most unusual 7.1 system that uses Bose 901's as the side speakers. He uses Magnapans for the rear speakers, Snell floorstanders for the front right and left and an Altec A7-800 for the middle and subwoofer role. The 901's, which I don't like in 2-channel stereo mode, work well in his system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger The 901s carry the Bose nomenclature, which automatically will get a certain "segment" of the market to pay attention. But I would also add that 901s CAN sound quite good in the proper room and with proper (read: LOTS and clean) power. The two best arrangements I have heard 901s was when the speakers were suspended from the ceiling in the corners. Still wouldn't buy a pair....I pined for Heritage in the early 901 days. While I can't vouch for the source of the reviews, it doesn't surprise me that the new RF7 would get such notice. I am quite impressed with the original RF7, (only wishing they got better cabinets) but that's a minor point when compared to the performance.

michaelhigh Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 If the Klipsch in question are good enough, you can send me the Altecs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy West Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 The A7/500's are spectacular, but I've already given them to a friend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty Favog Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 I too would like to give my very prestigious personal endorsement of the new RF7 II being the best loudspeaker, as soon as a free pair arrive at my door step. Can we make that happen? Sounds like the "expert witnesses" we take the depositions of at my office..... Sorry...OT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
