DanB Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 I am a resident of Canada, Vancouver Island, BC to be specfific. I currently own a pair of RF35's, RC35, and 2 pair of RB3's for sides/rears. I want to upgrade my fronts and center to a higher model reference speaker. I wont know which ones until I have a chance to listen to some. And there is the rub! No one in the entire province of BC stocks anything higher than the RF35 line of speakers. I have called all the dealers in my area, spoke with Klipsch directly in Hope, and spoke with the Klipsch rep for the province. Nada! As a consumer wanting to upgrade I'm being told that I must purchase via "special order", without even the oppurtunity to audition first. Sucks to be me I know. My only alternative is a costly trip to Washington State. Can someone please provide me a list of dealers there, or, alternatively, some ZIP codes I can enter into the dealer location on the Klipsh website? Many thanks in advance.

gcoker Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 Really the next logical step up in the Reference line is the RC7 and RF-7 speakers. Now speaking from experience I can say you don't need to audition them. Just go and get them. They are worth every penney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the RF-35's and they are a great sounding speaker. But, my RF-7's are just better plain and simple. You will notice a huge improvement with the RF-7's and RC-7 over what you have now. You did not state your Amp / Pre-Amp / Receiver. This is important since the RF-7's does need a powerful SS amp to get the most out of them.

DanB Posted February 7, 2005 Author Share Posted February 7, 2005 Thanks to all for responding. I have searched for and found a list of ZIP codes and will use them to find some dealers in the Blaine and Bellingham areas of Washington State. I want to listen to speakers before I purchase them. I prefer bookshelves to towers so I want to audition the RB75 as well as the RF5/7 towers. My equipment list is in my system profile. Thanks.

dodger Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Hi Michael: If your question about numbers included me, 2501 would get me to Answering Machine. I would then as promised to the person, vacate the Forum. Nothing against anyone, no ill will. I asked a favor, and offered if the favor came through. It did. Hopefully there won't be anything to stop me from reaching that goal. I have about 85 to go. Then dodger / Win will be history. Win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Dodger, I think I understand. It's been a blast, give us plenty of warning and we'll have a Forum party for you. Any news on any 'social' happenings in Roch later this year? email me buddy! Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael ---------------- Hi Michael: I appreciate it. A lot of people have been great. But for one I made a promise and at this point webtv is running this so slow it isn't funny. I don't see any signs for improvement as things down the road just will make it slower. Frustration I can get elsewhere. I would love to reach 2501 by Friday. After this 84 more to go. I truly appreciate the thoughts and the kindnesses that have been shown. But I will have the good feeling of a number of people. That's what counts.
