RF-7II Owners Thread

[Heritage_Head]

I personally have owned the 42, 52 and now the rs-62ii. To

me in a smallish room the 52 and 62 are pretty close but I wasn’t a big fan of

the 42 when comparing them to the other two. (grats on your new speakers)

Well room is about 19x19 with 8 ft ceilings and the surrounds will be very close to my seating postion to where I can almost reach out and touch them.

That's why I thought that I might need the larger speaker.

[Shodrewken]

I haven't heard either the 42's or 52's but I've been very pleased with my 62's! They compliment the rest of my system very nicely and they sound just awesome. I think with your room size that the 62's will fit you well.

[Heritage_Head]

If they are that close the rb line might be the better

option. They are made to point right at the lp. The rs line isn’t.

[rustolem]

Thanks will check into those.

Got another question for everyone, for those that already have their RF-7ii's, what other speakers did you consider or replace before buying the Klipsch?

Ready to order but still not 100% sure, its a toss up between the Klipsch and Aperion.

I considered Paradigm monitors. Love the looks and sound of paradigm.

I replaced by Klipsch Promedia Ultra 5.1 that I used for HT. Since my main device is a htpc, worked quite well.

The RF7II's are definitely a nice upgrade

Congratz! You're gonna love the difference.[Y]

Quite the leap! Congratulations!!

Well guys,

I decided to get the RF-7ii's. I ordered them from www.acousticsounddesign.com along with the RC-64 and the RS-62's and although R&L Carriers did everything they could to botch the delivery, they finally made it here safe.

Here's a pic. For some reason the forum clips my image, but if you click it you can see the whole image.

I don't have the surrounds set up yet as the stands I am building for them are not yet done. After seeing the RS-62's I am glad I am overbuilding the stands, as these things are huge. Much much bigger than the RS42's they are replacing. Here are the stands in progress - will be black and have nice rounded edges when finished:

I am planning on upgrading my subwoofer later this year, but for now, I am very happy. Need to run YPAO and calibrate everything, but I am going to be traveling and won't have time to do that until I get home.

Congratulations! Great looking set up!

Thanks Tasdom! Yours too

Terrible cell phone pics...a DSLR is on my short list of purchases.

Question for you guys -

Do you set the RF7's to small or large in YPAO/Audyssey?

How about the RC64?

[Youthman]

It's all preference. Some say set them all to small and let your sub handle the lows. They play cleaner that way. IMO and in my setup, to mine and a friend of mine's ears, setting my RF-83's to large sounded more full and better to our ears. There really is not a right or wrong way as far as whether to set them to small or large. Try both ways and choose what sounds best to you.

[Heritage_Head]

I agree with youth no right or wrong way. Try and see what

you like best. I set mine to large and have tried just about every setting

crossover wise but always come back to large. To my ears they just sound

better. (and congrats on great speakers)

[Zen Traveler]

If you have a capable sub in most rooms you would set them to small.

My 7's are finally hooked up and so far I am highly impressed. Still need to dial them in some and then I will get some pictures posted on here. Guess I need to change my signature to reflect my changes. :-D
