Oniiz86 Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 I was just wandering if the flagship RF-7 III & RC-64 III will see an upgrade later this year or some time in 2021? I know there was a 7 year gap between the IIs & IIIs (2010 to 2017) but curious if the IIIs will see an update shortly to the Mk IV version, could we see an updated design for the RC-64 IV having 2 rear Tractrix ports or possibly front ported. The Heresy III went from a sealed design to the IVs being ported, I know not quite a good comparison. Do you think the RC-64 IV will remain a sealed design?

Paducah Home Theater Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 No updates planned as far as I am aware. Sales are very strong and they are still pretty new, there is bigger fish to fry. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetSnake Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 IDK, one listen of the RF7 llls and I wouldn't be thinking about when the next gen is coming out, they sound pretty dang good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oniiz86 Posted January 1, 2021 Author Share Posted January 1, 2021 I was curious whether anyone had some insider info on whether the Reference RF-7 III/RC-64 III flagship models will see a refresh next year, a fourth iteration perhaps as it was recently discovered the Heritage lineup will see the introduction of the Forte IV which will be announced shortly & possibly be available in February @$4500/pr, the Forte III was announced in July 2017 & is only 3.5 years old so it seems model refreshes are much sooner compared to the past.

Ceptorman Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 If I was to bet if the awesome RF7lll will get an upgrade in 21............no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oniiz86 Posted January 2, 2021 Author Share Posted January 2, 2021 It could be a possibility as I don't think many were expecting to see the Forte IVs arriving sometime in February, the Forte IIIs are still fairly recent, I suppose I'm getting hung up by a sole singular disparaging "professional" review about the RF-7 IIIs I read but I'm well aware that amongst Klipsch enthusiasts they have received unanimous praise.

That's the best part about what Klipsch speakers offer. You can get the "in your face" RF7llls, or the laid back Forte lls, CW4...etc. There are many choices of sound from different styles of speakers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This not only ensures the forte has the latest and greatest parts but it simplifies purchasing and inventory controls maybe even driving costs down a little with bulk purchasing.

I'd love to hear the new line up-- the original RF-7's are fantastic speakers can only imagine how good the III's sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it will as there's no room on an already large speaker for front ports and rear ports on a center speaker can be problematic for placement / positioning reasons.
