abigfish Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 (edited) I can purchase two RF7-11s for less than $750 each. They have small dents (maybe 30 @ 1/4"ea) on each woofer and the mid. The speakers seem to sound ok. There was some clipping when the amp was maxed out and I believe the amp was causing it. Has anyone seen this before? Would you expect it to effect the sound? I have two original RF-7s hooked up to a Rogue Audio Mag 2 Chronus tube type amp. I have a second Rogue and would like to replace the Martin Logans I have hooked to it with something more compatible. The Klipsch sound good but the damage worries me as I know nothing about speaker construction.

teaman Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 For the simple fact that Fry's was just selling brand new in box RF-7ii for $799 each i would tell you to pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abigfish Posted July 12, 2018 Author Share Posted July 12, 2018 I wonder why they are selling for less than 1/2 price. Were the RF-7 11s a poor model? I paid full price for my original RF-7s and have been very happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a poor model, just superseded by the RF-7 III, so the retail value of the II has dropped. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abigfish Posted July 12, 2018 Author Share Posted July 12, 2018 I wonder if the changes are worth twice the price. I don't suppose they do that often with Klipschorns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teaman Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Sounds like the entire tweeter and horn are reworked for a smoother and less harsh delivery.

If you do a search "rf-7 comparison" from the home page of the forum, there are a bunch of threads comparing the two models (II v/s III) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
