mboxler Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Sorry for the late response, but I was looking for the receipt, and failed. I believe I bought these around 2006. If memory serves me correctly, the speakers replacing them were active floor standers, but can't remember the model. I wish the Klipsch web site had more info on discontinued speakers Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shodrewken Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 My other brother-in-law might be able to pick up a very nice pair of RF-83's, buyer is asking a $1000. Is this a good price? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted November 30, 2013 Moderators Share Posted November 30, 2013 Yes, I believe it is. Here are the only sets I can find on CL RF-83 for $1200 - Link RF-83 for $1500 Negotiable - Link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shodrewken Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Good looking out Youth. He sent me the pictures he received from the seller, and they are in stellar condition. He's gonna go look at them on Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted November 30, 2013 Moderators Share Posted November 30, 2013 That's great. Out of all of the MANY Klipsch speakers I have owned, the RF-83 / RC-64 are the ONLY speakers that have remained since the beginning of my Klipsch Journey. The only other Klipsch I owned prior to them were the CF-2's and they were sold when I bought the RF-83's. I absolutely love them and likely will always have them in my system.

Out of all of the MANY Klipsch speakers I have owned, the RF-83 / RC-64 are the ONLY speakers that have remained since the beginning of my Klipsch Journey. That's what I told my brother in law. He and his wife are visiting from Colorado Springs, and while the ladies were out doing some shopping yesterday, he and I went online and did some searching for some speakers for his soon to be finished theater room. He really enjoys my RF-7 II's and the Klipsch sound, but had mentioned that he wouldn't mind something a little more laid back, so I figured the 83's would be the ticket.

Moderators Youthman Posted November 30, 2013 Moderators Share Posted November 30, 2013 (edited) If he is looking for a more laid back sound, the RF-83's are a great recommendation. Very soft, sultry sound. RF-7's (Brightest), RF-7ii (Bright), RF-83 (Smoothe) Edited November 30, 2013 by Youthman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 (edited) If he is looking for a more laid back sound, the RF-83's are a great recommendation. Very soft, sultry sound. RF-7's (Brightest), RF-7ii (Bright), RF-83 (Smoothe) Youthman if right since he has all three speakers. I alway smile when I see people talk about this aspect of the three different speakers since I have the RF 7's which are paired with my Pioneer avr which make it a mute point for me. Proper pairing with an avr can make a world of a difference. When I was looking for Reference speakers the RF 83's were my first choice. I just like the way the look,lol.

Shodrewken Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Well it looks like my bro in law might get himself a a whole setup. The guy is selling an RC-64 and RS-62's with the 83's. All are in fantastic shape, the asking price is $1600 for everything. Is this a good buy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrappydue Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 That's a great deal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted December 8, 2013 Moderators Share Posted December 8, 2013 Excellent deal for sure! I just sold my RS-62 just a few weeks ago on Ebay for $611. That puts the RF-83 / RC-64 for less than $1000. RC-64 typically sells for around $400 - $500 so that puts him getting the RF-83's for $500 - $600 which is almost unheard of. Tell him to go get them today before the guy changes his mind. Seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
