Godofthunder Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Currently deciding between the RP-8000F and the RF-7 II. In Australia I can the RF-7 II and about $AUD1500 more or nearly 1.5 times the price of the RP-8000s (both are on special). Is there a dramatic difference in sound and quality between the 2 models and which do you prefer given that the RF-7 II is more high end (better components and attention to build quality) but older and the RP-8000Fs have newer technology (redesigned tweeter and ports) and are cheaper! Thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdmccall Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I owned RF-82II's (a forerunner of the RP-8000F) for a while, but have never heard any version of the RF-7. But for merely 1.5 times the price, I would take the RF-7 II without question, just based on published reviews, opinions and specs, not to mention real wood veneer instead of vinyl. A no brainer, at least for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybob Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Edit: Since you like(?) the 82's, is the RF83's ... out of hand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
