The History Kid Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 10 minutes ago, teaman said: I have already seen them selling used for well under the asking prices on Ebay and the like. I personally suggest saving up a few more months and getting something of quality instead of squeezing under a point that might leave you wanting more. The NAD that was being suggested was 145 x 2. With the preamp built in, under his price point by $150. I don't think that's exactly squeezing by. You know me man, I'll recommend Emotiva all day, but I've been and am where this guy is, sometimes that bump in price is just not something that anyone can do. I've wanted to move on the TA, but I haven't found it at a price point that I can afford right now either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agreen60 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 If he goes that route I don't think he will be sending it back. It's hard to beat Emotiva for the money. Also remember the BAS X stuff comes with a 3 year warranty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tylerstoddard368 Posted June 8, 2017 Author Share Posted June 8, 2017 I just don't want to keep stretching my budget. I started off at $1000 total now I'm looking at 800- 1000 just for speakers I don't want to keep pushing it. Also here are some pics of my room.

teaman Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I agree Michael, my fear is that the NAD is being sold for a reason, not working correctly or something. I just hate to see someone pressured to make a move now when waiting a month might give him the leeway he needs. Only the OP can decide that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hate to see someone pressured to make a move now when waiting a month might give him the leeway he needs. Only the OP can decide that. True, and I do understand that concern. That's the risk we take when we buy things, even on the forums though. There's no penalty really if something doesn't go the way we want it to during transit or prior unless PayPal steps in. It's a luck of the draw thing. My XDA could have been DOA, so could my Fusion (both of them). The Oppo I bought could be in the same boat. We take a risk on second hand - and I'd like to think that for the most part, people are not up to stingyness. But you are correct, caution should always be used. OP - your room is either similar to or just a shy bit smaller than mine. Virtually any good amp/preproamp configuration should do you solid. If cost is a concern and you really don't want to go used - I'd either purchase an AVR like I mentioned through A4L, or wait and see if Emotiva posts some more goodies on their own eBay page: jadedesigns. You can also poke around the forums here for an amp or receiver for sale, or see if some of the other forums have anything (Emotiva's Lounge for example). Patience is your friend in this hobby, and regardless of who is saying what, we all agree on that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have RB-5's stacked on the RF-3's. "Too much speaker in a room" isn't really a legitimate thing unless you have comb filtering issues, which two RF-7's aren't going to have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybob Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 What he said. Had the RF-3's and was happy with the bass. If you want bass and can purchase RF-7's at the right price, if you do not, you may have remorse later. Plenty of watts or nearfield with just 50 watts. If you have to change power, you will like it. Flagship for a reason. Besides, they are an investment which can be quite somewhat at times covered. Sorry for the impromptu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The History Kid Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 WHY ARE THERE SO MANY RF-7'S NEAR YOU?!!?! Seriously! I'm so stupidly jealous right now that it's not even funny. RF-5's too. Jeez! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tylerstoddard368 Posted June 9, 2017 Author Share Posted June 9, 2017 Lol are those decent prices?Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The History Kid Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 You might offer $900 since there is a pair going for $875 there. However, if you could step up and get that set with the RC-7, you will be somewhat happier. RC-7's are getting harder to find, and they're one of the best centers that Klipsch made. If you can't stretch your budget that far, it's fine...but it might save you a little headache later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The RC-7 goes for about $400 in "good" shape. The RF-7's are hard pressed to fall below $800. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
