ninjai18 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 (edited) Anyone know if anything along these lines is planned. I'd definitely be down to upgrade if so. Edited April 12, 2015 by ninjai18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cradeldorf Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 (edited) Not according to Klipsch. no changes for the RF7 series 2. Down in the comments it says no replacing the RF 7 series II http://www.klipsch.com/blog/klipsch-reference-premiere-vs-reference-ii-speakers/ Edited April 12, 2015 by cradeldorf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninjai18 Posted April 12, 2015 Author Share Posted April 12, 2015 (edited) Thanks guys. Kind of a bummer, but it's not too disappointing, considering how amazing the current ones are. Hmmm, should I get the top tier Premiere speakers (280F), or the Klipsch RF-7 ii system? Edited April 12, 2015 by ninjai18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Hmmm, should I get the top tier Premiere speakers (280F), or the Klipsch RF-7 ii system? I have never heard or seen the 280F but knowing the reputation of the RF-7II system for HT and it's beautiful real wood veneers(cherry), big 10" woofers, and big ole 1.75" compression drivers, you can't be disappointed there.

derrickdj1 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 The RF 7II is a Flagship speaker that has a great reputation and plenty of fans. The RF 7 II's may well be the last speaker that you will ever need. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no desire to do anything but get more of them. RC-64ii is a slightly different manner, but that's why there are some RF-7ii woofers, tweeter, horn, and crossover being delivered to me tomorrow.

Hmmm, should I get the top tier Premiere speakers (280F), or the Klipsch RF-7 ii system? Depends on if you can afford the real thing or need to settle for a compromise.

Paducah Home Theater Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 My only gripe about the new line is that currently there are no surrounds that will match the RF-7ii and RC-64ii's. They discontinued the RS-62ii and didn't offer a replacement. The only thing you can buy is the RP's with the dual 5's, which doesn't have the same beef as the dual 6's and visually the finishes don't match. I really wish they would come out with some top tier Reference surrounds that have real wood veneer and titanium compression drivers. Actually I wish they'd come out with a "baby RF-7ii" bookshelf with a 10" woofer and the same 1.75" compression driver. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol The flagship speakers like the RF 63, 83, 7's, and 7 II's are that good that you may not feel a need to every change. Our nature to get and try more speakers is a different animal altogether, lol,. Edited April 13, 2015 by derrickdj1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, there is room for improvement on the crossovers, but I don't want t debate that again. The Premiere horns seem as though they could also be an improvement for imaging and off axis response. Plus, it's just nice to have a refresh once in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're just not made anymore. The RB-75's are hard to find these days and coveted by many on reputation alone. http://www.klipsch.com/rb-75-bookshelf-speaker/details Edited April 13, 2015 by GPBusa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The History Kid Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 The RB-75 lacked the 10" drive. Actually all RB speakers lack the ideal bookshelf design of a 12" driver like their ancestor. the Heresy I. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never heard an RB-75, but even with just an 8" bass driver, it has a better rated frequency response and power handling... versus the Heresy line. I've owned Heresy 1's & 2's and liked them very much. And whether that 12" driver makes them "the ideal bookshelf design" (sounds like an opinion)... I don't know. But I bet the RB-75's would give them a run for their money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricktate Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I got my son a pair of RB-35s and they kicked *** in fact I played with them sitting in front of my Ks and when he walked in he thought I had the Ks on. Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 But I bet the RB-75's would give them a run for their money. I currenty own all three(HI, HII, RB-75) and IMO there is no clear winner in my house. I like them all very much. Bill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
