o0O Bill O0o Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Me too....they sound great....but are still ugly.Ugly ? Really ? Ehh , I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder . Or something like that . I wanted LaScala's for a long as was in this hobby, my highschool used the pro set for Sound Re-enforcement for there Jazz concerts, and when I actually got them an placed them in my room, they were HUGE! Not ugly, but certainly dated-- compared to what Klipsch offers today for main stream consumers. Still, when I put in some of my favorite music they were just perfect. Seemingly unlimited Ultra clean output. I like them so much that I tossed my plan to go professional studio monitors all around. Sound is big, dispersion control is important, and dynamic range is key. All Heritage speakers have those excellent qualities. 5 Belle or 5 of any heritage all around is just about the best thing going for music lovers.

GWSmith Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 CLICK ON PHOTO for COMPLETE image... I am posting this one from my music room, and YES, they do command a bit of a foot print, but thats all part of it........... The K'Horns have a beautiful 'book match' veneer on both the front of the bass horn and across the top of the mid/tweeter cabinet on top. This set is a great example of it. These, dated 1968 and powered by some rebuilt vintage tube gear. A warm sound for sure. This is NOT a home theater setup, but more of a two channel listening 'station' with a Sony CRT monitor for the CD player which is onscreen display only [] ........Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djwarila Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 i totally agree with you youthman. i love the modern, sleek, shiney look of my cherry rf-83's over the vintage look. no offense to you heritage people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Personally I don't care about how a speaker looks as long as it sounds great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Me Loves Khorns Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 I think Khorns and Belles are beautiful furniture in a way. My Jubs have a 'beauty' to them in an industrial kind of way. They are what they are I suppose. And the sound? Oh yeah! Beauty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesV Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 I have to say that the RF-83 setup has it's purpose as does the two Cornwall setups and the Heresy setup. All different in what they do but share one common thing, that great Klipsch sound.... I enjoy them on a daily basis.... [H] James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All different in what they do but share one common thing, that great Klipsch sound.... If I had to guess, you think the Corns are better suited for music and the RF-83's are better for HT? Just curious on your thoughts since you have both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djwarila Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 well i dont know if that question is directed towards me or not but i have both the 83's and cornwalls, so heres my 2 cents....... the cornwalls are stand alone when it comes to music, especially when paired with a nice amp. but on the other hand i have the 83's matched with 2 kw thx subs, and when they are playing at a decent volume they are great too, its just that the two produce a totally diffrent sound in my opinion. i have not tried the cornwalls for home theater, but i would amagine they would be good. but to answer the question, yes i agree that the cornwalls are better for music. they just present an overall bigger soundstage.

Oh wow....sadly enough, I didn't even see the center until you mentioned it. Definitely need to upgrade that. My guess is it is just speechless when the movie starts.

Montigue231 Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 LOL Guys! Oh I forgot to mention I need a bigger receiver too..This hobby makes me go crazy sometimes. If I turn the mains down to -9 and the center up to +10 it evens out. ...anywayz.. All the upgrading I need to do to keep these RF-7's is overwhelming for my budget thats left over after the tv ( 0 ). I might sell them or trade for a pair of RF 52's plus cash. Or just keep the quintet going for another year until the funds build up again. Whatever I do what I know is...I need to stop looking online for audio gear.

BluBitRates Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I say sell them and build up a budget. How did you acquire them for so cheap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted February 16, 2010 Moderators Share Posted February 16, 2010 If I turn the mains down to -9 and the center up to +10 it evens out. This is because the RF-7's are much more efficient than the quintets so they take less power to drive them at the same volume. Whatever I do what I know is...I need to stop looking online for audio gear. My wife says im nuts Yep, welcome to the club...disease...sickness....whatever you want to call it.
