ninjai18 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Will they be releasing an add-on speaker like they did for the Premiere Reference line? It would be really nice to have a timbre matched Atmos add-on option for the RF-7 II system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrappydue Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Doubt it. They have the one module. And have stated numerous times it will keep up with rf-7ii's just fine. So don't see them saying that but then making a bigger mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The History Kid Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 ^ This. Not to mention (forgive my ignorance on DTS-X and Atmos), but aren't Atmos speakers just to Atmos spec? So wouldn't it be safe to say that timbre matching shouldn't exactly be an issue with them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So wouldn't it be safe to say that timbre matching shouldn't exactly be an issue with them? According to Dolby specs with the up-firing modules, all of them don't really have any bass, and the projected frequencies are boosted and cut according to a secret recipe to pull off the "psychoacoustic" effect. Timbre matching among up-firing speakers vs. towers probably isn't even possible. Ceiling mounts is a different story, Dolby urges you to match them as much as possible. That being said, I wish they'd release some that better matches RF-7ii's. The current ones don't visually match very well. You've got nice black ash veneer on the fat towers and sitting on top is skinny brushed vinyl. Doesn't sound too bad with words but when actually doing it I didn't really like the look.

I agree and imo they would look even worse sitting on the cherry 7II's. I might already be enjoying atmos if they had a matched version. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paducah Home Theater Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) Pretty funny looking. Takes away from the stateliness of the 7's. Premiere towers aren't so bad. The 280-FA's look way better than this solution. I don't like the sound of the actual towers as much but if you're going to do Atmos modules, you really need the 280-FA's rather than this.

Paducah Home Theater Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 The larger compression driver on the 7's are more pleasant and crossed over lower. I prefer that sound better. I've had them side by side, differences are subtle but they are there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K5SS Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 The RP-140A doesn't even match the rest of the Reference Premire line. I am not sure what Klipsch was thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure what Klipsch was thinking.you could set them on the subs! Just buy 8 of the 15's and stack two in each corner and boom instant matching atmos stands. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoremoto Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Agreed. I wish they would make a matched height speaker for the RF-7ii Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
