DanSoloRocker Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 I own a pair of ebony RP-280Fs that I bought on sale, just over a year ago, directly from Klipsch. When they arrived, their boxes seemed intact but worn from storage. I thought their sale price was ideal then so I snatched a pair. I thought I'd be happy with these but they have failed to satisfy my ears. I've had them connected to to my Denon AVR-X4000 and a formerly owned Yamaha A-S2000. My problem is that one of them seems to not have any of the horn function as I only detect the two woofers operating. When I raise the volume halfway, somewhat abruptly, I am finally able to activate their proper function. This is an intermittent issue. Does anyone else have this problem? Could this have been the reason that they went on sale? I thought about upgrading to RF-7 III's but I've got to fix this speaker first.

Blvdre Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Have they behaved this was since day one? That sounds like a connection issue, maybe a bad solder joint, crimp, contaminated connector, etc. Are you willing to investigate the driver & crossover hardware/connections?

I am planning on that next when I have more than just spare time. They have behaved that way after I moved them from a condo to my next home. I know I'd remember if I had dropped either of them.

CECAA850 Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Not uncommon for a connector to come loose on a driver but even more common is a loose jumper on the terminal cup. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
