USNRET Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Yea, no sense in letting people that actually buy the products in 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KitNorrie Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 (edited) Here the press kit: http://www.klipsch.com/ces-2018 Looks like all new Reference, Reference Premiere, and some pseudo-Heritage stuff. Glad to see The Three and The One keeping Google Assistant. Makes Klipsch a lot more competitive in the emerging smart speaker market. Noticably abscent are the powered speakers. I expected them to be featured more prominently. Also a little disappointing that they are none based on the redesigned Reference series.

That said you can get in as others have stated, but you have got to jump through the hoops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I think that new Heritage sound bar has my name all over it! It looks awesome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USNRET Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Perhaps pessimistic but the very first thing I thought about the sound bar was ....."custom built to match TV size" and then I change size. But reflecting back I change speakers more often than TVs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking same thing. We have a few that are wall mounted. I saw somewhere mounts or adapters that let you attach a sound bar to top or bottom. Anyone know who makes those?

I'd be happy if they came out with a center channel for the Heritage line up. Since the new mid horn in the f-III's is basically a modified version of the same horn that was used in the KLF-C7 and KV-4 I don't see why they couldn't make one to match. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsD Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Am i the only one excited about the new reference line? I have been keeping an eye out for the Rf7 lll all year. But these could be very interesting too i think. Although not so much if it is just a small makeover to the rp280. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think any improvement to the current RP series is welcome. I like the looks of the upcoming RP lineup for sure. I wouldn't expect the new 280 to be on-par with an RF7-iii though.

That would be a pretty stupid move on their part when the Rp is only about 30% of the price😉 I just like the Rp280 and i can't seem to get myself to switch my Rf7 ll out with a pair of lll just yet. I would however consider switching my rp280 out with a new pair if i like the new ones. I don't really like the design though. I might change my mind when i see some videos or other pictures.

Hasty Posted January 10, 2018 Author Share Posted January 10, 2018 I like the copper inlay in the horn on the new RP series. If the new line improves on the sound at all they'll be a success for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I saw photos of the new RF7lll, I wasn't crazy about the new face, but after seeing them in person, I think they look much better. I like the looks of the lll better than the ll, the RF7lll just looks more refined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
