NormanB Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Does anyone have this or know where I can find it? I'm wondering what the resistance looks like at different frequecies. Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WMcD Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 To my knowledge, Klipsch has never published it. Also, I've not seen any technical reviews where it might be published. Sorry for the bad news. Gil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanB Posted December 17, 2004 Author Share Posted December 17, 2004 Thanks Gil Guess I'll wait and see it this ever shows up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMcGoo Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 As Gil pointed out, the RF-35 impedance curve has not been published. However, a few educated guesses may help. Klipsch rates the speaker at 8 ohms nominally. It is probably closer to 6 ohms which is exactly how the RF-7 measured. Next surmise: The horn is much more efficient than the cone woofers. In order for the cone woofers to "keep up", the impedance on the cone woofers is about half of the horn's impedance. The woofers draw more current, hence have more power to put out sound. The bottom line is that a good amplifier will produce tighter bass on Reference towers. A lot of power is not needed, but the amp needs to be able to drive 4 ohm loads with double the current of an 8 ohm load. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanB Posted December 17, 2004 Author Share Posted December 17, 2004 Hi Bill, Great comments! I'm currently using a Parasound HCA-855A to drive my HT/Music setup to my satisfaction. Bass is plentiful and tight so, I don't see me upgrading the amp for some time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
