Hope they suit your fancy. From recollection, you started with the Klf-10. Then a Cornwall(?), cannot recall all. At some point, and thinking you may know this, the commercial, or pro line may need be in your future. Just saying, may have to up your game, cut to the chase, so to speak on In any case... having fun is super cool too ... enjoy. Hi yes and I’m impressed you remember all my speakers lol, I do like the RF7s for sure, but I do miss the sound of my KLF 20s, mids and highs were a bit more forward. Corns were ok not mind blowing lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 BTW Tom, look it up but Mc may only have 100 wpc stand-alone SS amps. Not certain about any others by them higher. Would only consider at least one solid amp at 150 wpc to make a real difference. Higher at 200 + to infinity maybe better. Limited here so others have more to share. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should get enough power, unless you really do want your head to explode. Based on the in-room sensitivity figures, your integrated amp and the RF7s should provide at least 108 dB peaks at 13 feet in a normal room with a true 70 watts per channel, even with a fudge factor built in. I've heard the concerns about the impedance dips causing the RF7s to need more "juice" than the specs imply. I tend to trust Klipsch that the RF7s are 8 ohm compatible, but if you want to go with a big power amp, I'd stick with McIntosh, or perhaps one of the NADs that claim to be optimized for "4 or 8 Ohms." As you probably know, you'll need to double the power to get a 3 dB increase. This one -- the MC152 -- would give you a 3 dB increase, but I'm not sure it has autoformers: This one -- the MC312 -- would give you a 6 dB increase: If you really want to blow up your head, and you win the lottery (do the second first), McIntosh makes an MC2KW 3 piece mono block that puts out 2,000 watts continuous and up to 8,000 watts instantaneous peak. Of course, you will need 2 complete sets (6 pieces) for 2 channel stereo, and produce super high SPL, but, as PWK once said, you should have a fire extinguisher handy. The 6 piece set can be yours, if you shop around, for about $160,000. `POW' 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m guessing the Mac will have ample power to drive the RF7s, it’s in the shop new getting looked over and cleaned up, as far as those power amps I would definitely have to win the lotto!
