Boilermaker86 Posted December 9, 2017 Author Share Posted December 9, 2017 After I sell my old speakers, I was thinking about getting a new subwoofer. I was thinking of the R-115sw. Would that be a nice upgrade? My current sub 12 is downward firing and I like that. The bass almost sounds great as it is after getting the 7IIs.

He fixed the highs on the RF82lls buy buying RF7lls. A few didn't catch it at first, it did solve his problem. Nice speakers Boliermaker, all of them. Pretty big jump, even got the 64. You can probably knock some ornaments off the tree if you wanted Congrats.....Merry Christmas! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want some suggestions, here are some things I did to make the highs better: I noticed that when the left speaker was close to the wall, the problem was worse. So I played with the distance from the left wall and the angle to I got something I liked. I played around with the distance from the back wall. Since it is rear ported, it really makes a difference. Too close and it sounds boomy, too far it seems like not enough base. I had to play around until I got it just right. Last, I ran all 8 poisons on audyssee. This made a big difference and seemed to set everything perfectly. I noticed if I used stereo to listen to music which had the front two speakers, subwoofer, and audysee turned on, it sounded a bit boomy like watching a movie. I switched to using pure audio for music and the helped with the brightness. I feel some of the brightness on music was with the audysee. Ultamtely, I just liked the look of the RF-7 IIs and was hearing great things about the quality of the components. It really does seem to fill the space much better, I’m listening at lower volumes and it sounds fantastic. Even at low volumes, the two 10” woofers with the Onkyo have a great kick to it. It seems like the horn in the 7IIs is much more smooth and a lot more pleasant to listen to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s taking me a bit of time to get used to the color. I thought they would have more of a red tint to it. I was able to get A grade speakers and didn’t see a flaw with them. Depending how I take the pictures I can get the red to show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a good choice all the way around, to me it's most important how well a speaker sounds at low volumes, it's how we listen most of the time, kind of background music all day. But there are times when you just want more and it should do this well also, glad you're liking them. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look pretty damn good. That colour will work well with any wooden furniture you add to the room down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlessedPrince Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Hey Prince what are you running for your mains, I'm with you in regards to the sevens though their a reach for me to....I’m running the whole RP 280 package plus 2thx surrounds.

Boilermaker86 Posted December 19, 2017 Author Share Posted December 19, 2017 I must say I’m so far impressed with these beasts. I re-ran audyssey and it is amazing. The sound field is incredible. Bass is plentiful and tight. Sound seems like it is coming from the walls with the 4 RF-52 IIs. I can’t believe how good audyssey matched the front to the surrounds. I can turn these at higher volumes and it is still pleasant to listen to. Plus, they look great with the Christmas tree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
