A1UC Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 No Hz now , waiting for my pre amp . I had a Pioneer SC-57 before this but it used a global x over thats why I sold it Before that I was at 60Hz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I spoke to HSU and they said , what it sounds like im missing is Mid Base so I am going to buy a MBM-12 Mid Base Module Why not just EQ? With 4-10" woofers on tap, mid-bass output capability shouldn't be among your major concerns... Agreed. RF-7's plus a stout amp will give you plenty of mid bass slam.

nezff Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I have my 63s and 64 at 80hz. Subs usually the same, but you could try 100-120hz for those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heritage_Head Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I spoke to HSU and they said , what it sounds like im missing is Mid Base so I am going to buy a MBM-12 Mid Base Module 2xVTF-15H 1X MBM-12 That should do it I bet that will sound awesome. Where are you thinking of putting it in the room? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onawav Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Debating getting an XPA-2 for Emotiva's holiday sale (when back in stock). I'd appreciate any feedback on the specific pairing of XPA-2 and RF-7II. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich_Guy Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I have RF-5's (not RF-7's) and they love the XPA-2, my speakers have sound their best hooked up to my XPA-2. I am the original owner of my RF-5's and have had them connected powered by several top end receivers over the years, an XPA-3 and now my current XPA-2. They really work well with the XPA-2 and have never sounded better. I am sure the XPA-2 will work just as well with RF-7's, and that they will sound great together.

dtiao7eb Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Hey all, just purchased my rf7II from www.acousticsounddesign.com they are AMAZING speakers! I got them @ a great price too. Will post a pic asap. Nice to be with fellow rf7ii owners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsxr1000 Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I just sold my black RF-83s and am going to be buying a set of RF-7ii in the near future. My dilema is deciding on what finish to get. My tv cabinet is a dark espresso color so I'm not sure how dumb it would look if I got the 7s in cherry. I will be getting a b stock pair so they will be a little darker so that may help. Any opinions would be appreciated. Here is a link to my stand to get a visual... http://www.bdiusa.com/theater/avion_2_8929.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usmcavenger Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Of course this is just my opinion but I firmly believe you can never go wrong with black. Just 2 months ago I got my Black RF-7II's and RC-64II and they look awesome! I too have a dark (more cheery than espresso) colored TV stand and coffee table so I went with the black speakers. I think the differnet tones of brown don't look as good together. But of course that's just me and if you do go with the cherry color I imagine they'll still look incredible!

gsxr1000 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Thanks for the input. I agree that the black looks great. I really like the look of the wood on the cherry ones. The b stock ones are a little darker but still not quite as dark as my stand. I could stain them espresso color but I would be hesitant to do that because it drops the resale value. Tough decision!

usmcavenger Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Agreed! It is a very tough decision. I'd love to see the darker cherry look too. I bet they do look awesome! I think it's safe to say that either route will result in some badass RF-7II's that look as insaine as they sound! Whatever you do make sure you post some pics so we can see how it turns out.

Just stain the stand to match the cherry RF-7II's. I am sure it would cost more $$$ but maybe see if you could special order a pair of RF-7II's in the stain/wood of your choice. Just a thought that is worth a try. Or sell your stand and buy the same one in natural cherry. Bill BillBill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted January 2, 2012 Moderators Share Posted January 2, 2012 I've always been a fan of the darker wood finishes (Cherry, Mahogany). I have the black RF-7's and they look nice but I much prefer the finish on my cherry RF-83's. I guess it's because most people have black speakers. It's so "normal" that I wanted something different. To me, there is just an added elegance to the darker finishes. Just my humble opinion. But as mentioned by usm, either way you choose, they are going to look and sound awesome so don't fret over your decision too much. Remember, once the lights go out, you won't see them anyways but you will definitely HEAR THEM! [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
