crustywon Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 (edited) EDIT: wife says no to sale. I have 2 academy's (1 oiled oak and one clear oak and in excellent condition.) I used as my rear surrounds. I have 1 pair of walnut heresey's I have on sides for my center channel (come with extra set of tannish brown grills with pie logo's) And one set of walnut belles that have the crites ab-2 crossovers(original cross-overs included) I am at work right now but will post pics of the academy's when I get home. I will also post many other pics of the heresey's and belles when I get home. Will assist in shipping at buyers expense. Local pick up is always welcome.

tigerwoodKhorns Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 WOW. Nice setup. I sold the exact same setup years ago (walnut belles and heresys). If I had the room, I would have kep them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crustywon Posted November 26, 2013 Author Share Posted November 26, 2013 Maybe I'm missing something, My set up seems to be missing some power and umph. (is that a real word) Maybe just feed them some real power? I have them hooked up to my integra dtr 30.3 at the moment. I just remember having my rf-7's rc-7 and rsw10 and it would pound my chest.

Moderators Youthman Posted November 26, 2013 Moderators Share Posted November 26, 2013 I have not heard your setup but I have heard the RF-7 system and indeed, for HT, it's one killer setup for sure. I've always loved the sound of the Reference Series, especially for HT but I'm REALLY loving the sound of my RF-7ii's for 2ch as well so I know they are capable of sounding exceptionally well for both 2ch and HT. Best wishes in whatever you decide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woofers and Tweeters Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 The Belle is a big horn speaker, sound great and can get real loud, but they nor the Heresy are made to go real deep or have a lot of extention. I really like the sound of the Belle. I use the KLF-30 lowers with them to get the bass I want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Keep those beautiful Belles if possible, very hard to come by as you probably know. They are very hard to beat for 2-channel music. Sell the rest and then not too much out of pocket for the RF-7 setup. If you need more power, I have a line on a couple of very potent amps.

Bill I can vouch for Bill and for the Acurus A200 I recently bought from him, they sound fantastic with Klipsch and have added better separation and punch than what my Harman Kardon can provide on it's own. Maybe Bill has another Acurus he's willing to part with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Teresa Wright Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Would an Academy be a match for my '85 Cornwall II's?? I am still using my rc-52 from my reference set up-sold everything else. Doesn't sound bad, but, wondering if the academy is the proper match. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerwoodKhorns Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 The Academy actually matched the Forte and Chorous from the early 1990's, but it is the closest to the heritage and that is why it is used so much. It is a very good sounding center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crustywon Posted November 27, 2013 Author Share Posted November 27, 2013 (edited) It also makes a great rear L/R surround Edited November 27, 2013 by crustywon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philly0116 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 (edited) Are you running a sub with the system? Is it possible the power is there but the low end is lacking? Edited November 27, 2013 by philly0116 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
