I love mine too. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic_surfer Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 You bet I love them, for their size they put out some serious sound. They dwarf any box theatre speaker they come up against. The design is sleek too, very modern and tight little package (though not really all that little). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmic_surfer Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 Eh... Mine will throw a fit and not talk to me. But who will have the last laugh when every room in the house is outfitted with element reference level speakers! HaHa! In all seriousness, i do plan to outfit every bedroom with them... Maybe do a house wide ambient music... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oct 2013 - Purchased Cherry RF-7 for a 2ch setup Oct 2013 - Purchased (4) RF-7ii, (4) RS-62, (2) RB-81ii & RC-64ii Oct 2013 - Sold Cherry RF-7 and kept the RF-7ii for my 2ch setup Oct 2013 - Sold (1) pair of RF-7ii to WakeJunkie since I didn't have room for 2 pair Oct 2013 - Sold RB-81ii's to local guy since I did not have a use for them Oct 2013 - Bartered for a Sherbourn 72100a (200 x 7) amp Nov 2013 - Sold Parasound HCA2205a (220 x 5) amp to forum member since Sherbourn had 2 extra channels and sounded just as good as the Parasound Jan 2014 - Bought B&K 200.5 to see how it compared to the Sherbourn. Feb 2014 - Purchased (2) RT-10d since I've never heard them and they rarely come up for sale and I wanted to see if they sounded better than my RSW-15 Feb 2014 - Sold B&K 200.5 since it sounded just as good as the Sherbourn but the Sherbourn had 2 extra channels. Apr 2014 - Sold (2) RT-10d to Willland (as I preferred my RSW-15) Apr 2014 - Bought (2) LaScalas simply to see how they sound in my own home May 2014 - Liked the LaScalas so much, I bought a 3rd one. May 2014 - Enjoyed the LaScalas enough to part ways with my RF-83 / RC-64 May 2014 - Because of the LaScalas, I'm now making plans to rebuild my entire false wall to fit the LaScalas, upgrading to an Acoustic Transparent Screen to put the LaScalas behind, while I'm upgrading to a DIY AT Screen, I figured I might as well go bigger so I'm upgrading from a 103" to a 150" screen. I started considering upgrading my sub to either a Horn sub or an IB sub but have decided things are moving a bit fast and I need to slow down long enough to breathe. Feel better about yourself now?

minermark Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 I feel once in a wile I need to bring this up: I ask the wife a few years back if she like listing to tunes on the PC, I could enhance that just a tad, built her system first, simple DAC, tube preamp, and a couple nice looking imported mono blocks, finished off with the set of Chorus. At this point in time she now has her own Khorns, she enjoys coming out to the cave and really cranking a tune now and then, but her system spoiled her, she learned good sound, and she cannot blame me for the chasing after great speaker finds.....again, spoil the wife, the rest gets easier......
