Prana-Bindu Posted May 2, 2001 Share Posted May 2, 2001 JimG: As Ray warned, you're gonna have to answer some questions now. However, since you seem to know quite a bit about the RF-7, I shall limit my questions to it. First of all, what is the expected efficiency? Second of all, how stable/unstable will the impedance be? Bi-wirable, I assume? What will be the crossover points? How do I sign up for a free pair? When will they be available at Stereo West in Omaha, Nebraska for auditioning? Thanks for your kind attention to these questions. ------------------ May the bridges we burn light our way.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BobG Posted May 2, 2001 Share Posted May 2, 2001 Ray, Ray, Ray... Ya give a guy some privileges and what does he do? Posts info not available to the masses. Guess we may have to have you whacked. Jubilee Tour? Wow, that dealer knows more than anybody here at Klipsch. Must be making it up as he goes along. In the absence of information, rumor is King. Please be patient just a bit longer and you'll all have a chance to audition the new Reference models at your nearest supporting Klipsch dealer. I know it isn't easy, but hang on.

boa12 Posted May 2, 2001 Share Posted May 2, 2001 well yea your dealers may be trying to tell u something - they don't have the resources to permanently stock jubes or even Khorns. so a trunk show like tour may be a great idea - khorns on wheels baby! i could dig some wine/bud & cheese while grooving to the sounds of the horns. get out the marketing checkbook ------------------ Klipsch KLF 30 (front), KLF C-7, Cornwall I (rear) Velodyne HGS-18 sub woofer Monsterbass 400 sub interconnect & Monster S-12 cable Sony STR-DE935 a/v receiver Sony DVP-C650D cd/dvd player Sony Trinitron 27" stereo tv Toshiba hi-fi stereo vcr Technics dual cassette deck Technics direct drive turntable Scientific Atlanta Explorer 2000 digital cable box 2nd room: Klipsch RF-3 (front), RC-3, cheap little Technics (rear) Kenwood KR-9600 AM/FM stereo receiver (vintage '75) Teac PD-D1200 5-disk cd player Sega Genesis game player Sub: None yet rock on!

Ray Garrison Posted May 2, 2001 Share Posted May 2, 2001 oops. I didn't realize the specs I posted were not released publicly. That being the case, I'd advise not taking them as gospel because the specs are subject to change up till Klipsch thinks they've got the levels of performance they demand from this product. Sorry 'bout that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdm56 Posted May 4, 2001 Author Share Posted May 4, 2001 I gotta say I really get a kick out of this chit-chat about the jubilee and the new Reference Series. especially that "King Tut" reference. 'Bout lost my Big Red on that one. But then again, I have no life. I too, am looking forward to hearing/seeing/smelling/touching some of the soon to be released Reference speakers. They do indeed look promising; and yes, make that "in the klipsch tradition". Uh, sorry if I touched a nerve, Jim. I'm still a klipsch fan, so let me try to 'splain: What I was really getting at was, I suppose when it comes down to it, is actually the difference in a small, entepeneurial operation (Klipsch' early days), and a large, global operation with hundreds of employees that has to make a certain amount of profit (Klipsch today). I guess the thing I was alluding to, as far as a company being engineering driven or marketing driven, is the tendency for most large speaker companies to introduce new products with much fanfare, at relatively frequent intervals, as being the best/lowest distortion/most accurate, blah, blah, blah ever, only to disappear from the marketplace in a few years...just in time for the next "greatest speakers on earth" to be announced. OK. I'm a big boy. I know companies have to move product. And perhaps it is not in most audio manufacturers best interest to "evolve" models indefinitely, BUT...that is at least partly why you have the enthusiasm on this BB that you do. That sense of continuity and "heritage", which is a distinct part of the appeal of the classic PWK designs. This, as opposed to "me too, here today / gone tomorrow" design and marketing. Oh well, I hope the new Reference Series is a smashing success and makes Klipsch lots of money. And that it'll still be around come 2011. At least. ------------------ JDMcCall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prana-Bindu Posted May 4, 2001 Share Posted May 4, 2001 Thanks Ray! I'm very happy about the efficiency rating. I hope you don't get whacked.... Any idea how stable the impedence will be? ------------------ May the bridges we burn light our way.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JimG Posted May 4, 2001 Share Posted May 4, 2001 James, No offense taken. I understand what you mean. In a way, RF-7 is just evolved from earlier models. It is basically upgraded / born from technology previously used. The new 8" horn is an evolution. It has a new throat design incorporating things we learned thru R&D. The new woofers are an evolution and incorporate things we learned from R&D. The cabinets are better, the networks are better, etc. It all comes about by learning from our successes and mistakes and by incorporating new knowledge in with core technology. I think we tend to be more of a evolutionary company rather than a revolutionary company. We still feel very strongly about the soundness (no pun intended) of the core technologies developed by PWK and still use them in our products today. We certainly feel that these new models are some of the best we have ever built, but that's because we know more today than we did yesterday. The same will be true tomorrow. The fact that the basic technology is sound is apparent from the sheer number of old products out there that people still think are comparable to anything new. I have to tell you though, this new group of stuff rocks! Just please continue to be patient...only a few more weeks until you'll be able to hear them all (except for subs...they're running further behind - the project was started later - they'll be worth the wait too!)

boomer9911 Posted May 11, 2001 Share Posted May 11, 2001 No wonder I was told to wait until "July" for my La Scalas and ordered them in March...UGH...I thought the dog team might have made a left instead of right at the ole Igloo Inn. As for the sub good enough for the Khorns\Belle\Scala I would recommend http://www.bagend.com or http://www.sunfire.com (recommended from other members who are horn owners). Have a look at there 18" subs(bagend), impressive, the D18E-I, Infra18, or S18E-I. You may need a forklift for the D18E-I though. Khorns (93) LaScalas(01????...sometime soon I hope) C7(Herseys for 6.1 future).
