gimes Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 A while back, I acquired (free) a RF-7II speaker that had significant cabinet/veneer damage. Its just been sitting around since then and I'm wondering what I could do with it. Aside from saving the parts for potential repairs to my RF-7II's in use already, that is. I've had Klipsch gear for 15+ years now and I've never had any mechanical/technical issues, so it seems like it would be a better idea to use the internals for something else. Any good ideas out there? I thought about trying to make a center channel. Or trying to use the parts to restore a pair of Sansui SP-1000's that have been sitting idle for 20 years at my parents' place. I'd be open to just about anything... Thanks for any and all suggestions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwc Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Build a "Heritage-style" cabinet in the same dims as the RF-7ii. I don't care for the newer look and the old stuff with cabinet grade wood with cane grills......my fav. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longdrive03 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I vote for center channel if you have the room. You might want to check out DeanG's crossover upgrade while you're at it if you haven't already done so. Good luck. I built a pair of cabinets with curved side with all RF7ii parts and it sounded great. Should be a killer cc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FranJ Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Make it a mono boombox with included tripath amplifier and a mini-jack input. Music on the beach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gimes Posted August 17, 2016 Author Share Posted August 17, 2016 I really like the idea of a center channel as well. I have a pair of 70th anniversary Heresy's, and it would be outstanding to have a center to match with these. Really just a matter of finding the materials, especially the grill cloth. I'll have to look into it. What would a 'heritage-style' center channel look like? hmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
