-js- Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 You know , I find it a little humorous to see these for sale separately . I have a pair of of them . I know they're not world beaters but I like them and felt like I got a pretty good deal on mine . but mine won't hold a candle to what these may sell for 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIB @ Best Buy is $449. but each of these is noted as having tweeter issues of some kind. what's that saying - buyer beware? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calhockey10 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I didn't know they were that expensive at bestbuy I mean you can find RF 82's for $500 used and I would think that would be night and day difference 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-js- Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Yes , they are that expensive . I caught mine on sale last year , for about 1/2 price . had I known maybe I could find the RF 82's for about the same thing , well , let's say now I think I know better . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dkfan9 Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 (edited) They're 225 every black Friday, along with occasional other sales. Tweeter issue sounds like the connecting plates between the biwire posts are missing and they connected them to the woofer posts to test... Just a guess. Price currently on this ad is great if that's the only issue, just run a little piece of wire between top and bottom posts and good as new. I'm very happy with my R28Fs. This is close to me. But I don't have room for any more speakers right now especially duplicates... Edited November 23, 2016 by Dkfan9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-js- Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Maybe I'm missing that listing for this year , but I don't see them listed for Black Friday this time around . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEUS121996 Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Tweeter issue sounds like the connecting plates between the biwire posts are missing and they connected them to the woofer posts to test... Just a guess. What? They have separate woofer posts? Are you talking about the strap between the binding posts? So spending more money to bi amp these is worth it and the way to go?

Mark Yep, the strap. They've got separate posts just like the higher end towers. I'm not sure if it's worth it to biamp them, I've never tried it (though you've given me a good idea for an experiment). They do dip below 4ohms in the bass, so some additional current capacity might help them on the low end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So do I need 4 amps on the RB-5s since they have 4 posts? That has to sound amazing. Lyle, those RB-5s I sold you because I couldn't figure it out and they sounded bad? I know you want to sell them, since you never picked them up, can I try this and if it fixes the sound, I will buy them back And will his help with the sound on my Khorns???

TY Mark You don't have to amp separately, you just have the option. I personally have no idea if it would help the sound. Is think it would do so only if you need more power, or you want to use tube on highs and solid state on lows or something like that.

What amps should I run into the RB-5s? I was thinking maybe a couple MC30s and a 240. Of course that would be per speaker Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
