wife-said-no Posted January 11, 2001 Share Posted January 11, 2001 Hey, you guys think that now that the CES is over that we could get Klipsch to add a "Coming Soon" section to this web page? ------------------ Come on honey why can't I spend some more money?

Jolly Roger Posted January 11, 2001 Share Posted January 11, 2001 So the Rf-7 have 10 inch woofers, what did the Rf-5 have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolly Roger Posted January 11, 2001 Share Posted January 11, 2001 I've been thinking about my question and here's my guess. Its only a guess but it would make perfect since if - the Rf-5 is just an Rf-3 in real wood veneer, and the Rb-3 is a Rb-5 in a vinyl veneer. That would keep the 5 series as real wood and the 3 series as the same thing in vinyl. That would mean there should be a Rc-5 in wood also. Does that make since? Just a guess!

kleggatt Posted January 11, 2001 Share Posted January 11, 2001 Jolly, I think that you are right with that theory. It makes a lot of sense. The wood veneer would likely increase the price. I think that RF-7's then would probably have 10" drivers and the centre and surrounds would have 8" drivers. (I think George said that already) I really like the new finishes as well, I hope my wife will let me upgrade already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boa12 Posted January 11, 2001 Share Posted January 11, 2001 let's see,... i could get the rf-7 for the fronts, move my current rf-3 to the rear next to the cornwalls & then use the cornwalls as just as "B" speakers for music, get the rs-7 as side surrounds, get the rc-7 & move the current rc-3 to the rear center, get the rsw-15 for a rear sub (or would it be all right as a main sub along w/ an hgs-15?). oh, then i'll need a new 7.1 receiver. yea, that's the ticket...anybody run a loan co.? ------------------ RF-3 (front), RC-3, Cornwall I (rear) Velodyne HGS-15 sub Monsterbass 400 sub cables & Monster Z-12 speak wire Sony de935 a/v receiver Sony DVP-C650D dvdp Sony Trinitron 27" tv Technics dual cassette deck Technics direct drive turntable Scientific Atlanta Explorer 2000 digital cable box rock on!

They are pretty lookin' speakers and I think that I can find a spot for that sub in my living room The size makes 'em look like they would be 5's. But they are only 2-way is looks like. What's up with that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Phillips Posted January 11, 2001 Share Posted January 11, 2001 Here is the new stuff.I didn't get a picture of the surrounds.Sorry. RF-7,RC-7 and the RSW-15. The surrounds are WDST with 8"woofers and the same tweeter.They are ported and can be run "large"as they go a bit deeper than other Klipsh surrounds.I'm sorry,I forgot what the response is.40 or so.

boa12 Posted January 11, 2001 Share Posted January 11, 2001 so to summarize; kleg's pic is of the same - iow that's the new rf-7 & rc-7 w/ the rsw-15 in both pics. those are 2 10 inchers in the rf & 2 8 inchers in the rc. so i'd guess the rf-7 has a total width of 11 or 12 in.(?)

cwcole Posted January 11, 2001 Share Posted January 11, 2001 I am curious, what speaker cables did the Klipsch booth use on that setup at CES 2001? Did anyone get a close look at them? If not it is of no importance...just curiosity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that everyone is wishy-washy about the whole cable thing but IMHO I think that they DO help. Thinking about going with XLO. But whatever they are using looks impressive. ------------------ Come on honey why can't I spend some more money? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJT Posted January 11, 2001 Share Posted January 11, 2001 wife-said-no, I remember reading a post, think it was in the website portion of the bulletin board, stating that the website was going to be updated soon. If I had to take a guess it will probaly have something to do with the new products. Definetly like your idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Phillips Posted January 11, 2001 Share Posted January 11, 2001 All monster stuff,interconnects and speaker. The speaker wire was some big monster silve jacket,maybe bi-wire.I don't remember.I'll find out and get back Friday,same bat time,same bat channel. Sorry I didn't pay that close attention,I use DH Labs and wasn't that interested,but it was big and fat. You can just see it in one of my pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwcole Posted January 11, 2001 Share Posted January 11, 2001 The reason I asked was cause I bought some IXOS 6006 Gamma Geometry 11awg speaker wire. I needed 25' runs and I figured the twisting would shield it best. I figured that Klipsch would use what sounded the best, and they were definitely not what I got. Well anyway the IXOS cables are much better than what I had before. http://www.ixoscable.com/html/products/speaker/6006.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rey Posted January 12, 2001 Share Posted January 12, 2001 Man o man...When things are already tough enough now I have to decide wether or not to wait for these new beauties....Guess I'll have to wait...I really wish someone could post some specs on those and some pics on the surrounds. I auditioned the RS-3's in my apt, though they were nice I wasn't really impressed but now i hear that these new surrounds will be carrying 2 eight inch cones! no doubt i will be impressed. If someone can get some more pics or some specs please post them.....Let me know that the wait is worth it!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilH Posted January 12, 2001 Share Posted January 12, 2001 I see news travels fast around here...SteveP and GeorgeC, I'm glad you all made it home OK too..it was great to meet you 2...I don't know about you, but my ears are still ringing, not to mention the sore stomach muscles from their workout with those U571 demo's through the RSW-15..the concrete floor was vibrating...not to mention the beat of the legendary James Brown..we were gathering some serious crowds..anyway..I'm still jet-lagged, cross-eyed and I see I've just created the longest sentence of the day. Anyway, I'll go get some sleep and see you all Monday... PhilH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Bearden Posted January 12, 2001 Share Posted January 12, 2001 George C-all: Thank you for your kind words. Couple minor corrections to some of the above statements follow.. Amplifiers: The RSW 15 uses a 1,000 w continuous RMS amplifier. It's peak capability is Considerably more than that. (Lets just say it's definitely no less than the old LF-12 which didn't make it to market) Same for the RSW-12. Keep in mind these are larger enclosures than the old LF-line, and as most of you know there is no replacement for displacement. Basically what I mean is the same input power will yield more output. If you want to make the comparison to the old smaller footprint LF's, these subwoofers are more in keeping with the Klipsch Heritage. Larger enclosures for increased system effeciency, and more output. AKA that Klipsch Slam.. RSW-15 output: The Prototypes are capable of up to 115dB 1 meter corner loaded @20hz, and over 125dB over 25hz 1, meter corner loaded, without regard to THD. Someone must have confused the two numbers. For those who care, this is on the order of 29dB higher at 20hz, when measured at the same 2 meters, than what TN measured with the LF-10 for S&V. Scaled to typical magazine 2 meter measurements, knock 6dB off those. You could then compare their output relatively realistically to TN's measurements at < 10%thd. Yes, you are right, the 15 is a Beast. Wimpy competitors (even certain competators 18's) need be very very afraid. The RF-7's do indeed play quite cleanly and without strain at VERY high levels. They use extreme output 10" drivers which we modeled extensively with FEA, and our unique tapered array crossover design which improves the total in room power radiation, meaning better imaging and vocal intelligibility. ( You should HEAR the Q Sound effects on some CDs through these :-) RS-7's use dual ports, dual 8" Tractrix horns, and a single high output 8" unit. Yes, it goes louder and deeper than other Klipsch surrounds. Considerably. They ROCK! ( Lets just say back to back an RB-5 wouldn't embarrass them in extension or output.. ) RF-5's are not just wood RF-7's. They are honestly an improvement in performance. They use much larger cabinets, low mass surrounds, feature more port area for lower port distortion, stronger motors with longer excursion, again for lower distortion, and Tapered Array networks which improves the speakers total power response in room and improves their imaging. They also have that gorgeous wood veneer. RB-3's are not Vinyl RB-5's, they are a smaller, yet still very capable version, with next size down woofers. Very cute. They mate VERY well to the RSW-10. The Klipsch Booth featured RF-7/RC-7/RS-7's and an RSW-15.

Ray Garrison Posted January 12, 2001 Share Posted January 12, 2001 For people trying to look at that picture in the above post, the spaces create a problem for the auto hyperlink frabellizer. You have to highlight the whole string from the http part through to the Small.jpg part, spaces includes, then cut and paste it into your location bar to get the (pretty cool) image of all the little subwoofers lined up together to display.
