knackll Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Hello-New to the Klipsch forum and wanted to post pics of my new Klipsch RF-7Ii with the RC64II in cherry. These speakers are incredibly awesome. I can not believe the difference in high quality sound I was missing. I'm pushing them with a Yamaha RX-A3050. I Now need the replace my rears & presence speakers. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TasDom Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Congrats and welcome to the forum. Very nice and capable speaker choice.....Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptorman Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Awesome setup, you sure have a wall of sound coming at you...congrats. That's an interesting stand. It seems to match the RF7ll cherry veneer, or did you stain it that way? Welcome. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted January 7, 2017 Moderators Share Posted January 7, 2017 Great looking setup. It's hard to tell in the photo but do you have your center angled up towards your listening position? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjptkd Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Very nice! I may end up going the RF-7 II route if they get discounted enough with the roll out of the new product line. I agree with the center speaker positioning, it should be titled up and aimed directly at your face / ear level, maybe even set it under your TV if possible. Congrats on the new set up and enjoy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the answer to Youthman's question is no, then I would highly suggest you move the RC-64II to the top shelf if possible. Bill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Youthman Posted January 7, 2017 Moderators Share Posted January 7, 2017 Another suggestion is to angle the RF-7ii inwards slightly so that the horns are aimed slightly behind your listening position. Play with the angle as you will find sometimes moving them 1" can make a huge difference in your soundstage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may look pretty but it certainly won't sound very good. 5-6 feet apart is not enough I see it all the time. You don't have much wall there swap there positions with the subs..

In all fairness, have you visited his home? Sounds to me like the OP loves how they sound already. Any improvements he can do (angle, distance, etc) would merely be an improvement to what his ears are already hearing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I haven't and I don't need to it's just standard audio dynamics. http://www.audiophysic.com/aufstellung/regeln_e.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think PWK would completely disagree with sentence number 1, rule number 1. So I stopped there. So much for standard audio dynamics. LOL! OP, welcome to the forum, don't take any of the "advice" personally, but do test out and apply what you find useful to your situation and personal tastes. I hope you enjoy your new setup!

Moderators Youthman Posted January 7, 2017 Moderators Share Posted January 7, 2017 OP, the key is to try different things as acoustics, distance, angles do indeed effect the overall sound of your setup. I remember how much I loved it when I got my RF-83 and an RC-7. I had the RC-7 above the TV and someone from this forum suggested I angle the center downwards towards my listening position. I could not believe how much better the center sounded after doing so. We are not trying to be critical, we just want your setup to be the absolute best it can be. Oh yeah......they like to be played loud too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This looks like it applies in your setup unless your seating position in no more than about 7 feet away. 56 minutes ago, Frzninvt said: It may look pretty but it certainly won't sound very good. Kind of a blanket statement to make but it could be better worded like "it won't sound it's best". 59 minutes ago, Frzninvt said: You don't have much wall there swap there positions with the subs.. I do think this is worth a try and think it would still be visually awesome. Bill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptorman Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 I think his stand is dictating where the speakers go. The stand probably has adjustable shelves, so he could move the RF7ls outside the stand, unjust the shelves for looks, and probably get a better soundstage. Might as well move the center to the top of the smaller TV stand, then place the TV on top of the RC64ll. He's probably watching this thread and thinking "next these guys will be at my door wanting to re-position my room" (just trying to help) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
