Hey_wayne Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 Rc-7, $3-400 is fair depending on condition. Affordable for me! Good to know, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted December 28, 2015 Moderators Share Posted December 28, 2015 As they are getting older, they are getting cheaper. The last one I owned I paid $200 for but I'd say $300 - $350 is still good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaddeus Smith Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 And I would highly recommend against shipping. For some reason I successfully received one in Dallas from Austin, but that is most certainly the exception to the rule. They very rarely survive (woofer baskets collapse on themselves) and replacement drivers are hard to find. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 And I would highly recommend against shipping. The exception to this would be if you could get the seller to pull the drivers and pack them separately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Removed the woofers, packed them separately, only to find the crossover broke during shipping. Problem is heavy box + inertia = broken parts. Not much you can do about it.

YK Thom Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 And I would highly recommend against shipping.

They very rarely survive (woofer baskets collapse on themselves) and replacement drivers are hard to find. That is something that never occurred to me. Living where I do, all my speakers were purchased online from the south and shipped up. Must have been lucky. Going to keep this in mind in the future as I'm hoping to either get a pair of RF7 IIs or P17Bs at some point down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmb12679 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I had a rc-52ii woofer snap in shipping, I was selling, packered in original box. It happens a lot. Now I have a rc-51 lol Mint(minus 1 woofer) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 The RF 7 Classic is a good looking speaker and they don't come up for sale often. Congrats on the pickup! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InVeNtOr Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 The RF 7 Classic is a good looking speaker and they don't come up for sale often. Congrats on the pickup! might get banished for this, but i "like" the original 7's, but prefer the look of the 7II. the black dust cap takes from the look (to me, just to me). i was (for a while) trying to swap out my RC7 for a RC64, but it just won't work. i modified my center to match my mains so it won't be a good match for anyone else. i just really like the look of the RC64. if you go original RF7, with original RC64, and then do a crossover mod and have all matching caps (based on your personal taste) you should get a good sound stage. but then you would have black dust caps and non black dust caps.

derrickdj1 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 My dust caps don't match, lol. That's OK since I keep the grills on the speakers. I have been more than pleased running the RC 64 with the RF 7's. Rarely will you hear a timber problem in 5.1. Any timber problem is remedy by running 7.1 with FH/FW.

I like the look with the black dust caps and have owned RF's with the new look and keep liking the old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
