RF-7II Owners Thread

[nezff]

Do the 7's need significant power to shine? Currently I have an Emotiva XPA-3 running my front three( RF-82II and RC-64II) but I am wanting to add the RF-7's soon. Will the XPA-3 rated at 200 Watts be enough power?

Thanks.

plenty of power.

hey Bill, when you want me to pick up that other sub[]

Congrats Russ on the 7's, looks nice without the grill.

Sorry Russ but I gotts to keep it [8] If I ever find another in good shape it's yours.

Stay Frosty.

i would love to give all of you answers to your questions on how they sound but i never have them in the same room. cornwalls with heresy sourrrounds in a 16x16 room can't be beat. the rf-7's/64 center/52 rears in the basement sound awesome in a 20x27 room

How close of a match are the 7IIs cherry finish to your rsw-15s cherry?

[Budman]

much darker

Who has the best deals on RF-7II that you gentlemen have found? I've been thinking of getting some RF-83s, but the prices people want for the RF-83s are close to new RF-7s. I'm thinking I may have to go that rout instead.

Many of us have purchased from www.acousticsoundesign.com for our rf-7 setups. It seems that calling and speaking with Mike Embers or his partner is the best way to get a good deal from them. I was able to get my rf-7 II's and rc-64 II's for just under $2900 shipped to my door.

moved the center up one shelf and put the sub under the center and its working great. had to bring the sunfire stuff down from upstairs

Hey Budman nice looking setup but doesn't having the RSW-15 enclosed like that make it sound boomy? [^o)]

[Budman]

not at all. can't believe it works.

You would think by the looks of it it would sound boomy but glad it doesn't. In my master bedroom HT setup, I have an RW-10d sitting in my TV armoire and it too is not boomy at all. The RW is not the most musical sub but their truly is no boominess with this placement.

I can see in your situation the RW series would work, but isn't the RW-10d front-firing whereas the RSW-15 has an active rear driver? The RSW-15 is an EXCELLENT sub but it has been reported that too close to a boundary makes it sound boomy and in an enclosed location like that it would appear could suffer the same consequences.

its horn loaded now[H]

kinda hoping it did sound boomy so i could order the SVS PB-13 ( 155lbs ) soon or maybe the PB-12 Plus ( 127lbs ) then i could have dual rsw's in one room. those svs sub are so heavy

Yes

Hey I was thinking of getting a new amp(2channel) for my system. I was thinking the XPA-2, but it's backordered til April I guess.

Anyone have any thoughts on a similar amp for the price?

[FRCP56]

RF-7 II's in cherry are on their way. I can't wait to get the call from the freight company! I became a Klipsch believer with the purchase of the RB-61 II's that I currently use. I can't wait to hear the 7's.

[JasonJCarney]

Wow, that's gonna be a huge difference. Your going to be smiling from ear to ear!

[FRCP56]

That's what I am hoping for!

I'm not exactly sure how I'm going to get those beasts from the loading dock up into my 7th floor apartment. I'll have to hunt down a dolly or something. The boxes look huge.

[blargman]

Is it just me or are the rf-7ii's kind of lacking in the very low end? I'm not one to listen to rap but I listened to this song recently and the bass was fairly weak. EQ'ing the bass only made the speakers distort like crazy.
