davlas Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Hi, i have two questions. 1) How many model of RF7 are there? For what period? What is the first model and the ultimate model? 2) If i choose the RF7, the amp McIntosh Ma6500 it's a great amp for these speakers? Or is oversized for the RF7? Thanks a LOT! Davide.

willland Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Davlas, Welcome to the forum. There have been (3) versions of the RF-7. 1) Original RF-7 produced 2001 - 2006 2) Classic RF-7 produced 2009 -2010, reintroduced with either black ash veneer or a dark cherry veneer. Also veneered on front of speaker. 3) RF-7II current model If i choose the RF7, the amp McIntosh Ma6500 it's a great amp for these speakers? Or is oversized for the RF7? I think all versions would mate very nicely to your McIntosh MA6500. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davlas Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 Thank you very much for wellcome.Can you tell me the prices of the three models? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivernuggets Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 RF-7 II is $3200 a pair, MSRP. The original RF-7 sells anywhere from $750-1100 used. Not sure what the Classic RF-7 goes for on the used market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironsave Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Thanks rivernuggets... And how i can see the external difference for three models? What is the price of the RF-7 produced from 2009 to 2010? I have found the Classic used RF-7 of year 2010. Me advice? Welcome to the forum! I think it may be harder to answer your question.... If that model was produced for 2 years only..... They are more rare. I bet they do not come up for sale used often...... (It will likely be hard to answer that question)..... Good Luck with your search!

davlas Posted June 2, 2011 Author Share Posted June 2, 2011 Thanks! Another question, sorry! What is the best model of these? And technical difference? I've buy the Original RF7 at 1000,00 €... The speakers I get a few days. We will match the MA6500... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polaris26 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I was going to ask something similar - there's a pair of RF7's for sale locally but I think they are the original versions. Was the RF7-II a significant improvement over the original (or Classic) ? Should I just save my nickels and dimes for a brand new pair? What is the most you would pay for a well-taken-care-of pair of Original RF-7's? thanks, Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 The major difference between the 7's and 7II's is the xo and different drivers. The xo are 2200 and 1200 kHz respectively. My guess is that the 7's seem more fuller due to the bass driver handeling some of the lower midrange compared to the 7II's. The 7II's may have a smoother midrange and highs. I say may, due to the subjective nature of audio. The room setup is a big factor so, you would really need to demo them in your home on your system. I would be happy with either speaker since I have heard both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Robin Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Wonder if he bought them or not. I really enjoy the cherry 7's I purchased from Fish a couple of months ago. Bill GO HOGS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polaris26 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Thanks for the info on the RF-7's It turns out the seller never got back to me so perhaps they were already sold, but they were asking $1800 which from what I have seen elsewhere seems a bit high for a used pair of original 7's. thanks again, Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Robin Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I would say that is too high as they have been going for the $1,000 +/- range, all depends on the finish, condition and if they have matching boxes. Bill GO HOGS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Traveler Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 There is also a version of the RF-7IIs called "B-stock," which seems can be had for considerably less than regular RF-7IIs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
