Dylanl Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 The Klipsch Tech. told me to run a 40 watt tube amp to the horns and 150 -250 watt to the woofers with a solid amp. He also stated to bi-amp the setup for the best sound out of my RF7's. Does any one have a setup like this? What recomendations do any of you have?

minn_male42 Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 what is the size of your listening room?.... a football field???? the RF-7's will respond very nicely to a low power tube amp applied full range.... the RF-7's predecessor.... the klipsch KLF-30's are totally awesome with just 17 watts per channel of tube power applied full range.... i was the first person to respond, but i feel that you will get alot of responses from RF-7 owners saying the same thing....

lovemyhorns Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 Theoretically, let's see... what's the RF7's efficiency 102db w/1watt(?), so that would be 112db w/10 watts and 115db w/20 watts. For casual, residential indoor use, that's loud. Of course, ear shattering 125db would take 200 watts. The above is, of course, theoretical, your results may vary.

Colin Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 Well, it is a good idea, though you could also get away with 4 tube watts driving the mid-highs and only 15 solid-state watts driving the woofers, consider a low cost tube integrated from NOSvalves and a separate, powerful sub (with solid-state amplifier) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audio Flynn Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 DEANG on the 2 channel forum may have tried this or maybe LEOK. Try a post there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
