Beta Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Thanks MJ and cubdog. Interestingly, my Heresy IIIs are elevated almost exactly as MJ describes above. I'm looking for "full range" speakers with a (relatively speaking) smaller footprint where I don't need to use a sub. More specifically, I want to eliminate using a sub(s) in my 2 channel system. Hence, my curiosity in the RF7IIs. The low end of the Heresy III (even with a quality sub) isn't working for me. I realize there is give and take in virtually every scenario. I guess my question woud be what would I be giving up in the high end and mid section offered by the Heresy IIIs if I moved into a pair RF7IIs to pick up more lower end and was able to ditch my sub? Thanks again for your thoughts and opinions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moray james Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I think it would be fair to say that the RF77 ll is a better speaker than the Heresy lll. I am running the H3 with stereo subs the results are excellent so that route obviously works. If you bought RF7 ll's I dont think you would be giving up anything I think you would gain a lot. That said you need to decide if you prefer two way or three way sound as they are different. The horn ih a RF7ll is a better horn that the K701 in the Heresy lll but the RF7 ll horn only goes down to 1200 Hz and the K701 goes doen to 750 hz. So the will sound different for a number of reasoons. You will have to listen and decide for yourself which you like. Best regards Moray James. PS: where is your sub situated in your room? Getting the sub position will make a huge difference to the sound. What sub are you running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danzo Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 No, why? Have you? Beta wanted Heresy with bass so Forte makes sense to me. I am aware loads of people are happy with RF-7II and i quite like them myself, but Fortes would be quite a saving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 No, why? Have you? No, I have not. That's why I couldn't recommend them over what he was considering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
