I tried to attach a photo of syringe/steroids and the "No No" filter blocked it. Probably a good thing. They are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is I live in NY and don't have the original boxes. Yes. That is definitely a problem for 100lb speakers. I drove to Brooklyn last year for thanksgiving.

They are impressive for what they are. I agree with others who say that they are the best 3 way sounding 2 way speakers. 2-channel only, no sub I want bass as close to 30hz(or lower) as possible and HUGE dynamics. I just want gigantic speakers. The RF-83s are the tallest and are specd down to 29hz, and the KLF-30 and CF-4 are both giant blocks of sonic doom. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know that the KLF has the glue problem, which can be fixed and the CF had the no replacement parts problem. There's a large difference in the area of woofer between the three 8" or two 12" woofers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubdog Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Too bad! I lived in Denver for 23 years. I have C3s that will be going on the market soon. But, now I'm in central Illinois. Timing is everything or in this case nothing I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleawatt Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 21 hours ago, mattSER said: And does anybody know if the KLF-20s actually do have deeper reaching bass than the KLF-30s? Is it noticeable? Are the 30's still superior? I've had both in the same room at the exact same time. (KLF-10's too) They sound very similar, but the KLF 30's do sound bigger with more weight in the bass. Both play about the same in terms of frequency response. Some feel the 20's have "quicker" bass response. I would go for either if you can find them locally. Test all KLF's with some frequency sweeps and you'll hear the rattle of the cabinets if they have loose panels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the RF-83's will definitely fit the bill. 100db/w, 29hz, taller and deeper than the others(more cabinet volume) and I like the aluminum woofers. I'd prefer the KLF-30s over the CF-4s by a small margin, but I guess it's just a matter of whatever comes up first. I don't think I'd be happy with CF-3s, and I'm kinda iffy about going from P17s to KLF-20s too. Probably just continue my hunt for one of the three flagships.

Zappa Freak Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 I would say the KLF - 30 or the Chorus II still have both pair w the KLF's as rear. Had the RF83 let them go and never looked back....................... Big box............ check out the La Scala 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattSER Posted September 19, 2016 Author Share Posted September 19, 2016 Okay, some KLF-30s popped up in the Denver area. Priced a little high, but look to be in very good condition. Going to see them this afternoon! https://denver.craigslist.org/ele/5788227544.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleawatt Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 If they don't have loose panels, it would be hard for me to walk away from a pair that pristine! Good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 If we want big sound we get big speakers. That includes driver and cabinet size. I like subs as good as the next guy, but bigger is just better to me at least. I have owned many Klipsch, they struggle with powerful bass, imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
