Majestictone Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Good Afternoon, I just recently purchased this RC-7 that has this crossover mod installed, I have not received it yet and could not tell you what my expectations are since I have not heard the RC-7 before but everyone was suggesting to get the RC-7 to best match my RF-5's. I've searched the forums and all I happen to find are topics of the RF-7+'s with the crossover mods. Is there any reason if I should or can this mod be done to the RF-5's? Thanks in advance for your input Albert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the modification addresses a specific problem that probably isn’t applicable to the RF5. Thank You Sadie45.... Haven't found much more on this question....

Thanks in advance for your input Albert The "mod" that makes the most difference in the RF-7's is adding a resistor to the HF circuit. The rest of the changes Dean made to the RF-7 crossover were swapping stock parts with different ones of the same value. The RF-5 does not need the resistor mod that the RF-7 does.

Zen Traveler Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I bet the deang mod on the RC-7 won't be detrimental to the RC-7 or your front soundstage and will sound awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks CECAA850, I've been searching hi & lo and with what I discovered is that the RF-5's is what I would call my youngest daughter a "Hybrid" in that she has all the traits of her Mom and older sister but extraordinary flare. LOL I do love how they sound and finally completing my own Holy-Trinity with the RC-7 with the mod, RS-7, (& RS-3's for the rear) I couldn't be happier said no man ever that has become an audioholic.... I've waited for over 25 years to get Klipsch's product and it's been so worth the wait and now I have the perfect wife who supports my hobbies and who also tells me to "TURN IT UP" !!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use a good high current amp on those RF-5's and they'll really pound. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just purchased a Acurus A125 x 5 in Mint Condition, still hasn't arrived yet but I am pretty excited about it. Going to tap into the Denon X4700 with it. Oh and I forgot to mention the two SVS PB16 Ultra's to round up my little HT project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're much better off using a stand alone amp most times, than the amp section of the receiver. You should like it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
