Fish Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 The reason rf5's go for good money is they are a great speaker, much better than the speakers that followed. The rf5 vs 35, or 82, 82II, or whatever the newer ones, rf5 beats them easily,imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 It would be interesting to do an A/B comparison to hear the difference between how they are now and with the original woofers. The original cerametallic woofers dent and crease extremely easily. Very common to see that on any Reference model. One woofer in one of my RS-7 surrounds has a crease in it. Fortunately it doesn't affect the sound. I'm guessing the original woofers in yours weren't blown, but rather were damaged like that in some way.

I can't tell you how many copper speakers I've seen that were damaged. I've never understood it unless someone has kids, covers off and they whomp em'. I've owned many reference, never had problems with speaker, feet or grills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Can you send them back? Should consider that. Certainly ask the seller what happened to the original woofers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I'm not sure what those came in originally. I don't think it was the Snyergy line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
