PYRO Posted August 20, 2002 Share Posted August 20, 2002 Well I have been doing some serious shopping for a new A/V Receiver or separates to go with RF-7's, RS-7's and RC-7. Rumor has it that B & K will be introducing the REF-40 preamp. Its new features in addition to the REF -30 preamp will include Dolby Pro Logic II. This was one of the must haves on my new system. It looks like I will be going to separates: B & K REF 40 B & K REF 7250 Thanks to boa12 for pointing me to B & K. Although my wife things you should, well I will just leave it at that.

boa12 Posted August 20, 2002 Share Posted August 20, 2002 py, be sure to demo them at home. may have to work 2 dif dealers to do both b&k & klipsch. also check w/ upscale audio in CA for a direct mail deal on b&k. you're looking at least 4k min for both so do some research. you can get the ref 30 now & upgrade it when the ref 40 time comes. i'm still waiting to hear on the upgrade. also you may want a 7260 or 7270 amp cause you'll probably want those rear center channels/speaks, at least some day. don't tell the wife i mentioned that. ------------------ My Home Systems Page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PYRO Posted August 20, 2002 Author Share Posted August 20, 2002 Unfortuantly I am living in Hawaii where dealerships are limited. The B&K dealer is located on a different island. And Klipsch dealer only carries heritage line. I have auditioned the RF-7's several times on the mainland, only with A/V receivers (Pioneer elite and Yamaha not sure of the models). I can order the speakers through AAFES (Military Base Exchange) and have them delivered for $3300.00 (US), they are an authorized Klipsch Dealership. I will be testing the B&K line with the RF-7's at a local tweeter store when I am on business in the D.C. area. I think I will still go with the five channel amp and in the future I can always get another 2 channel amp. ------------------ Computer Klipsch Pro Media 4.1 Turtle Beach Santa Cruz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
