Kim Posted June 15, 2001 Share Posted June 15, 2001 Hi all, Can someone tell me if the RS-7 and the RC-7 are biwireable? If so, do they accept standard size spade connectors? Thanks Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bensilb Posted June 15, 2001 Share Posted June 15, 2001 Hi Kim welcome to the wonderful world of Klipsch. From what I heard all the models in the reference and legend line are bi-wire able. I have the RC-3 and RF-3 and they are bi-wire able, so I am sure the RF-7 and RC-7 are also. I havent seen them yet because they are not out yet in my area. I cannot wait to demo them. I would assume standard connectors would work with the RF/C-7. ------------------ Sony Trinitron 27" TV Yamaha RX-V1000 JVC HR-S3800 Super VHS VCR Sony DVP-S530D DVD Player Sony Tape Sony CDP-CE345 Cd player RF-3 RC-3 Synergy Rear surounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boa12 Posted June 15, 2001 Share Posted June 15, 2001 actually the klf c-7 center & the rs-3 aren't biwirable. don't know why though. consequently, my guess would be the rc-7 definitely is but the rs-7 probably not (following the past ref scheme). & the specs under home audio don't say whether they are/aren't. oh & the 5-way posts i'm sure take standard spades. ------------------ Klipsch KLF 30 (front), KLF C-7, Cornwall I (rear) Velodyne HGS-18 sub woofer Monsterbass 400 sub interconnects & Monster CX-2 biwire & Z-12 cable Marantz SR-8000 receiver Sony DVP-C650D cd/dvd player Sony Trinitron 27" stereo tv Toshiba hi-fi stereo vcr Technics dual cassette deck Scientific Atlanta Explorer 2000 digital cable box Boa's Listenin Lounge: Klipsch RF-3 (front), RC-3, cheap little Technics (rear) Monster MCX Biwires Sony STR-DE935 a/v receiver Kenwood KR-9600 AM/FM stereo receiver (vintage 1975) Russound AB-2 receiver switch to RF-3 Teac PD-D1200 5-disk cd changer Technics SL-1950 turntable/AT LS500 cartridge Sega Genesis game player Sub: None yet rock on!

Kim Posted June 16, 2001 Author Share Posted June 16, 2001 Hi all, Thanks for the replies. I suspect also that the RS-7 isn't biwireable. Don't know why coz the RS-3 is. I tried emailing the support dept but have yet to receive a reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boa12 Posted June 16, 2001 Share Posted June 16, 2001 after checking my ref series owner's manual, i don't think the rs-3 are bi-wire capable. under speaker wire connections it states which speakers are, but under rs-3 it does not. unless there's some oversight for rs-3, looks like those & the rs-7 are the only reference that aren't bi-wire capable. ------------------ Klipsch KLF 30 (front), KLF C-7, Cornwall I (rear) Velodyne HGS-18 sub woofer Monsterbass 400 sub interconnects & Monster CX-2 biwire & Z-12 cable Marantz SR-8000 receiver Sony DVP-C650D cd/dvd player Sony Trinitron 27" stereo tv Toshiba hi-fi stereo vcr Technics dual cassette deck Scientific Atlanta Explorer 2000 digital cable box Boa's Listenin Lounge: Klipsch RF-3 (front), RC-3, cheap little Technics (rear) Monster MCX Biwires Sony STR-DE935 a/v receiver Kenwood KR-9600 AM/FM stereo receiver (vintage 1975) Russound AB-2 receiver switch to RF-3 Teac PD-D1200 5-disk cd changer Technics SL-1950 turntable/AT LS500 cartridge Sega Genesis game player Sub: None yet rock on!

Guest BobG Posted June 17, 2001 Share Posted June 17, 2001 The RC-7 is biwirable as are all the new Reference models EXCEPT the rears. We did not feel many would wish to run double wire to the rear speakers. If our logic is incorrect, please do let us know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HornEd Posted June 17, 2001 Share Posted June 17, 2001 Hey, BobG, our Klipsch collections are an exercise in indulgence. Putting a bi-wire option on the rear speakers is in keeping with our indulgence potential... at what should be a very little extra cost to Klipsch and us. Who knows what whims we may want to impose on what the factory calls "rear speakers?" Not being a "bi-guy wirewise"... my needs are not abridged... only my freedom to indulge in them. And, that, my would be friend, is far more expensive. HornEd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bensilb Posted June 18, 2001 Share Posted June 18, 2001 BobG, I am planing to upgrade my ss-1 to the reference model. Would the RS-7 be a good match for my RF-3 and RC-3? Should I stick with the RS-3?

Guest BobG Posted June 18, 2001 Share Posted June 18, 2001 Ed - got it. While nothing is as inexpensive as you would think, I will pass along your comment re bi-wire surrounds. In fact, those speakers make very nice broad-coverage or fill units. I know of bars where single WDST's are used in place of 3 'normal' dispersion speakers. Bensilb - the RS-7 would match the RF-3 very nicely as it has very similar drivers. The efficiency is probably higher than you require, but the added deep bass capability is a great addition.
