Scrappydue Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Will the +/- DB of the frequency range be posted for the new reference speakers? It's not shown in the specs or cut sheets for the new reference whereas the reference II specs all contain this information. well they are the new reference so they are better than the old. easily 10hz-100,000hz +/- 1.5 db Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattSER Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I was really hoping for the new line of Reference to be 3-way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sancho Panza Posted July 26, 2014 Author Share Posted July 26, 2014 Perhaps, but I don't think they were designed with Dolby Atmos Application in mind... Although some are the Pro are & are used as such...which Pros, not sure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwa Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Perhaps, but I don't think they were designed with Dolby Atmos Application in mind... Although some are the Pro are & are used as such...which Pros, not sure? I'm sure they weren't designed with Atmos in mind as they've been available long before the first appearance of Atmos. However, if you're using in-ceiling speakers for Atmos (and not speakers that bounce sound off of the ceiling), they don't require any sort of special "Atmos-enabled" design to function 100% correctly. The only thing I've read that in-ceiling speakers need to be to work right is monopoles...which Klipsch's in-ceiling architectural speakers most certainly are. I'm planning to install CDT-5800-C II speakers as my in-ceiling Atmos speakers. The wiring's already up there...just waiting on a receiver that does Atmos!

Sancho Panza Posted July 26, 2014 Author Share Posted July 26, 2014 I'm sure they'll work fine; not that I plan to upgrade AVRs before I acquire many more speakers...but, sure is nice to think & learn about... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The History Kid Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) I'm really hoping the new (potentially) line of speakers, along with Reference II remains of a higher quality. I happened to listen to a pair of these new speakers at Best Buy today when getting a new TV for school and was totally disappointed with what I heard and saw. Might just be my preference to the II's or the environment, but these just sounded bland to me and certainly didn't make me very excited for what was new. What it did do though is make me thankful for the sets that I currently own. I remain optimistic at what new comes to the other lines though. But I have to admit, I'd love to see coil covers again. The older reference speakers were just absolutely beautiful. Edited July 30, 2014 by IbizaFlame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwa Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 ^^ What's a "coil cover?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The History Kid Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 The voice coil covers? Or I guess they're just referred to as dustcaps. I understand why most speakers don't have them, but they sell a speakers appearance IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwa Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Ah yes, dust caps. I guess you're saying you liked the black ones better? Yikes. I bet you're in the minority on that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The History Kid Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Yeah, I'm sure I am. I dunno...just something about those old caps just seem so much more appealing to me. I could probably even deal with them being copper like the rest of the driver, but I'm just not digging the flat design. Personal preference though, that's not hardly a deal breaker. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we've stated before, the new Reference line will have something for just about everybody. We're just getting started! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) It's hard to get a good idea of how good something sounds within a big box store, just keep that in mind. Totally agree. How can you really assess how a speaker sounds in an open 40,000 square foot room with 30 foot ceilings.

As we've stated before, the new Reference line will have something for just about everybody. We're just getting started! Oh don't get me wrong, I fully accept that. I just know that even in a larger space it seems like my RF-3 II towers had a better sound than the newer line. Of course, all I can do is go off memory there. The only thing I'll stick to my guns on really is appearance, I'm really not super excited about that. But then again, I was never a fan of the Icon series. I also admit if I ever had to bite the bullet on sound over image, sound would win just about every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
