A1UC Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Nice that you went out of your way to make a video , but I need to ask who would base buying these speakers from a youtube video ? There I feel better now getting that out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonJCarney Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 What's the point of the video? I'm lost. Whatever is recorded is being playback over your current speakers.... Not rf7ii's. I honestly can't believe someone posted a link to a video. I can't believe someone took a video and posted it to begin with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heritage_Head Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 TDK, not all of us are "Zen travelers." Granted, I live in Kansas, and we have more cows than people here, but I haven't found anywhere within 4 hours to listen to RF-7 IIs. There are several stores that "carry" them, but they require a deposit prior to ordering them. On the other hand, just 30 minutes away is a high end store that sells the complete Heritage and Palladium line. Over the course of a year they demo all of the high end Klipsch models for a one month period each. Listening is by apointment only. I can dig it...Then again, if what you are reporting is the new status quo there is Hope (pun intended) for the Palladium and Heritage lines because at that price point I don't imagine folks spend that kind of money without auditioning....Heck y'all are starting to convince me that folks that don't audition is who the New Reference series is geared towards. Not tuff to sell this [] (new rf-7ii and old rf-7) They sell themselves (Points at rf-7ii) it’s big for a reason! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beechnut Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Point is he asked for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted October 1, 2011 Moderators Share Posted October 1, 2011 Camera was 12" from speakers. I'm guessing you meant 12' instead of 12". [] You know there are two things that damage speakers....distortion...and Country Music. [] [H] [] Just trying to lighten the mood here guys. That was very nice of you Beechnut to post a video of your system. Your system great and I imagine it sounds fabulous too. Lagolas is just trying to do the best research he can before dropping some serious coin on speakers he has never heard in person. He knows he's not going to be able to actually hear how they sound through a youtube video but he's just trying to confirm that this is the right decision for him. Best wishes.

The RF-7 and RF-7 ll are exactly the same except the RF-7 ll is half an inch taller. They are the same width and same depth. That RF-7 ll in this picture is way bigger than the speaker next to it. Those don't even look like 10's in the speaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonJCarney Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 3.5 inch difference in height.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Traveler Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Not tuff to sell this (new rf-7ii and old rf-7) They sell themselves (Points at rf-7ii) it’s big for a reason! Do you own both speakers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vital Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 You're correct, I somehow looked at the wrong spec somewhere on the RF-7's spec sheet. It must just be the photo angle, it makes that other speaker look way bigger than the other one other than just height. It even looks like it has a bigger horn and everything, Pics can play tricks on you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Traveler Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 ..., Pics can play tricks on you! That's why you have to post a video on YouTube if you really want an accurate representation. [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new rf-7ii look like the old ones on steroids side by side. [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those don't even look like 10's in the speaker. Vital the drivers are bigger in the new rf-7ii. Get a tape out and measure your 10s they are just barely 9” (if that). The new ones are a little over 9”. Also it’s not the same horn and it does look bigger but I’m pretty sure it’s the same size. I think his plastic feet are broken on one side and its leaning to one side. That might be why it looks narrower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well...There seems to be alot of talk about how a speaker looks as opposed to how it sounds and I would be interested in a link to that dudes audio review if you have it.

You seem like a nice guy and I am not getting defensive. [:S] I am asking for a link to where you said the guy's picture you posted was a Speaker Reviewer and I wanted to read his review...Link Please. No it’s a guy on a different forum he reviews gear and speakers. He reviewed them side by side. I would like to read his side by side review. EDIT: Btw, I've seen you post that picture before in another forum and I assumed it was your photo given your comments here and there.

Heritage_Head Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 It’s a huge forum here is a link.

[] I am not going to dig through there, but suffice it to say without a link to the guys impressions of the differences between the RF-7 and RF-7II your picture is about as useful as a Youtube video that started this discussion. [:|] Fwiw, that looks like the German version of the AVS Forum's Klipsch Owners Thread, which has turned into a fanboy club instead of anyone doing any critical thinking (with the exception of a few conscientious Heritage owners). Again. this isn't a shot at you reference head, but musings about how people buy speakers nowadays and believe everything they see on the internet.
