noneotherthanbob Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Good day, it's been a minute since I last visited the Klipsch forums. I'm sorry if this has been answered b4. I would like to know what year RF-83 & RF-63 were released & year they were discontinued, if possible. Also, their approximate worth in as new condition (9/10) in Black Matte finish. Thanx in advance & have a great day! noneotherthanbob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Production typically is around 2 years. Saw an 83, which may still be listed here for maybe 1000-1200. Saw a 63 recently on Craigslist listed for 450 which members say was a bargain. Hope this helps but, more information from other sources recc. Welcome! @noneotherthanbob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreG. Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 If You take a close look at the downloadable PDF on the Klipsch site, it says 2006 in the right lower corner. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MicroMara Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 As far as I know the RF 82 was launched in 2006 and the RF 63 in 2007 . I´m not a Klipsch Historian maybe @RandyH can help. He´s so to say the almighty Klipsch Library 😇 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanx in advance & have a great day! noneotherthanbob the Serial numbers would help the klipsch Historian @JRH if you own these speakers --------- a picture of the rear tag would be ideal ---for each pair of speakers --if the serial numbers are consecutive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DARB53 Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 I see that this is an old post, but I’m wondering the same thing about a set of RF-83 speakers. Curious of cost new, current and closest comparable new speaker from Klipsch. I have a set that sadly have some water damage. Serial numbers are: RF83BK+09380009 RF83BK+09380010 thanks for any help 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybob Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 A pic or 2 would help with the water damage, otherwise a fairly desirable speaker. Michael did a side by side comparison with 7s and it held it's own. Condition and being black is key to estimation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
