A1UC Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 Before I purchased my current speakers I was in the middle of having a custom tower built which would of had a 10" woofer in the cabinet with DSP along with separate plate amp to power it . The other speakers would be powered separate . I was going to use all top notch drivers and the total price of 7k done wasn't bad .

willland Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Point is I find diffrent subs more musical than others Would it be fair to substitute the word accurate for musical? How about fast, punchy, and tight also. Bill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A1UC Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 (edited) do you have the RF-7 II ? Edited September 3, 2015 by A1UC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 do you have the RF-7 II ? Actually, no, I have the 1's. I think Dean did an upgrade on the 7 II's for Youthman though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A1UC Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 Yeah he did , I think from what I read the awhile back the 1's have a better sound with that upgrade than the 2's might be wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've got even close to $7,000 in your two channel speakers, no wonder you don't think a sub is needed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like my RF-7ii's at low level's, it's like they automatically have a built-in loudness button. I mentioned rock before but to be honest I primarily listen to acoustic mexican rock such as the Gypsy Kings and Rodrigo y Gabriela on them.

CECAA850 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 do the resistor mod like everybody else He said he had the II's. The resistor mod is for the original 7's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A1UC Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 I ended up really focusing on 2 ch and ended up with what I was after , i might buy a pair of 7's but for HT Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paducah Home Theater Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 (edited) I just don't understand why somebody would snub their nose at something like an Acoustic Elegance 15 for both music and HT. They have a copper voice coil and therefore have some of the lowest distortion in a sub out there. Efficiency is real nice because of this as well. You can use them down to 10 hz yet due to the low distortion people are using them as high end midwoofers. There is a specialty builder who is using them in an uber-expensive tower setup, and by uber-expensive I mean the aforementioned $13,000 pair wouldn't hold a candle to the price, I'm pretty sure I was told these are up around 200-250 grand a pair. You can model them along with popular 18's used in home theater and they're louder and go just as low, without the impedance curve going through the roof at the upper end of the spectrum. They have as much xmax/xmech as some of the popular 18's. So what's the problem? Why can't multiple AV15's in a sealed box be great at both? This driver is extremly highly regarded among those in the know, yet both self proclaimed audiophiles and HT fanatics still both snub their nose at the 15" size alone. Too big for one and not big enough for the other. Edited September 3, 2015 by MetropolisLakeOutfitters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 (edited) A 15 in. driver is very versatile. Big enough to pack some puch and small enough to put in an acceptable box design. Excellent for a dual driver system or something like this Raptor System with 8 fifthteens. http://www.bossobass.com/Bossobass.com/Raptor%20Systems.html A Raptor System will definitely excel at music and HT with Big Bang, he, he.
