danechristian Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 does anyone know when will klipsch release a reference series speakers with a 3 way design? i know there is nothing wrong with a 2 way design, but i think there is a possibility that a 3 way design will be lovely and will sound very precious. does anyone know when will klipsch release their new speakers to replace the legendary R series? well im just curious. anyone with good source and contact with klipsch pls do reply. post some of your opinion/s about klipsch R series having 3 way design.

I agree that 3-ways would be nice. I want a pair for a 2-channel setup. However, I am not sure that I would describe them as lovely and precious.

danechristian Posted September 20, 2003 Author Share Posted September 20, 2003 lovely as good looking. and precious as great sounding(as you would keep them for a while). thats what i mean. having some background and lived with a 3 way design speakers, i classify them as more accurate, but it depends to the speakers. anyway. put some feedback about klipsch R series having 3 way design. ty m00n for your opinion.

m00n Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 Yeah, I'm like you, I have always been around 3-ways. I was in for quit the shock when I brought home my RF7s. I plugged them in, had not hooked up my sub yet... I was thinking to myself... (remember that old comercial "Wheres the beef"?) Well, I was thinking, "Where's the bass"? I love the sound of the RF7s, but I have said it before I would not be totaly happy with them if I didn't have subs. They seem to be a finicky speaker, you have to place them just right in order to get good low frequencies out of them. That's just the way I see it. There has been a lot of talk about 3-ways here on the board lately. Also something else that has been said a here as of late... "Build them and they will come" Again, I say if they would build a good 3-way, I would be first in line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougdrake Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 "Again, I say if they would build a good 3-way, I would be first in line." They do - they are called the Heritage line. LOL. I predict you will never see a 3-way Reference series. DD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenratboy Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 I agree, we will probably never see one. However, there is always room for making the tweeter go lower and higher. I mean, imagine a 'super' tweeter (NOT A SUPERTWEETER) that went from 1000 Hz. to 50,000 Hz. - that would be cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InnovaZero Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 Good question. Flagship maybe, or name for "modern" day Klipsch excellence? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think someone around here has a signature that says, "we should reference the heritage line for that was the beginning" or something to that effect. but the heritage line is too different in design compared to the reference and synergy series, so I'd like to think the heritage line is in the league of its own.

kenratboy Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 Reference = the Reference Series that is now in production. Same as Synergy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danechristian Posted September 21, 2003 Author Share Posted September 21, 2003 well, the Heritage line are for sure the "big boss" of the klipsch home speakers. i would definitely buy a klipsch 3 way design reference speakers, but if they dont sound nearly as the heritage line. i will stick with the R series. reason i came up with this question is that.. last week i came to good guys store to test the Monitor audios bronze and silver and the energy veritas line. for some reference .. they have rf7 on display. i immediately tested them all and came up that still the rf7 has some precise and quality sound. even though the other speakers were 3 way designs and somewhat in the same price, there was no competition to the rf7. so out of curiosity, there is a possiblilty that a reference 3 way design is a good option to the next level of reference series klipsch. just my opinion. post some facts and opinions you would like to discuss..

"Build them and they will come" Again, I say if they would build a good 3-way, I would be first in line. ---------------- Greetings: Ever since the first English small speakers that had a fair mid and high, but no bass, there was a downhill decline. The Marketing Departments of a number of companies saw that they could charge a fairly high price for the fair mid and high and the Consumer would buy a woofer, eventually, sub-woofer. Therefore since the public is buying sub-woofers, even to accenuate three (3) way speakers, there is money to be made. So, as long as people shell out the money for sub-woofers and don't demand/request speakers that can attain a good low end you will not see again a three (3) way speaker. Look at the cost of the RF7 and add in the sub-woofercost, the profits make the owners smile, which makes us pay more. And then you add vinyl veneers and more plastic. That's the sad story.

Dodger you very well could be right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danechristian Posted September 21, 2003 Author Share Posted September 21, 2003 i was saying that there was no competition. RF 7 do have the sound quality and it is better for my ears. rf 7 wins!! to be exact. i was saying before that a 3 way design to a klipsch reference may be the next level to a klipsch reference and may sound quite near to a heritage line. dont get me wrong. i love how this R speakers sound, and i dont even have the idea to replace them with any speaker in its price range. question now is when will klipsch release a new line of reference speakers? just curious though.
