willland Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 are they bassy they like the rf-5's at low volumes? If you mean a good "bassy", I would say yes. My RF-63's are not lacking in bass at low or high volumes. Adding the Acurus A250 really helped in that department for mine. With the (3) 8 inch woofers of the RF-83's, I am sure they will not lack low volume bass either. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RF7X3M Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 im pitting it versus the 7's where their bass really picks up at higher volumes I truly think the RF-7 has the exact perfect bass at low and at high volume. And it is amazing how diverging opinions different people will have on the very same gear. I don't know your amplification sources and room conditions, but looking at the systems you have experienced I will not question it. And you happen, just like me to own the RF-7...How can we be so different ? I would say the RF-7 have all the bass that has to be there at all levels. The difference in sound b/w the two speakers will be humongous, 2 vs 3 way. different horns, everything. And to take one over the other based on low volume bass is the last consideration in the list.The RF-7 to me has always been different league compared to the rest of the Reference line and still I hear people comparing it to the RF-82 who actually prefer the RF-82. It is all sooo strange I wonder if SOMETHING is wrong here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 If anyone compares the 7's to the 82's there is something very wrong, there is no comparison.In my room the 83's have decent bass, but not as much as I would like.I've never heard any Klipsch ref speaker that had enough bass to suit me, Klipsch weak point is bass in my opinion, of course just my opinion.
