rockbobmel Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 This experience has consumed me for a few months now, and I'm tired. Wouldn't I be better off with RF-7s or KLF-30s?? I'm a wreck.!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zman Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 Even if you have the original boxes, shipping them could give you a nightmare. Buyer pick-up or you deliver. Same with getting the RF 7's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deang Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 Nope, different syndrome all together. He says he's "tired", I'm strictly driven by curiosity and boredom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Painful Reality Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 I don't think it's a case of "Acute Deanitis" either. Khorns in a room that is not made for them are not the most impressive speakers. You can easily guess what are their strong points but the nays overcome the yeahs in my book. (quite sad to realise when you are graced with one of the most beautiful pair of rosewood khorns that got the immediate approval of the wife).

Used is all about finish and condition. Serial numbers too so people can verify the mfg. date and what crossover was used. Brand new Khorns are $6-$7K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynnm Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 FWIW I had KLF30s before buying my Khorns. The KLFs were purchased in preference to the RF7s. That said all of these speakers are breathtakingly good sounding units when driven by good amplification reproducing good source material. You will never go wrong with any of them. I chose the KLFs over the RFs because they sounded more dynamic overall in their presentation. In addition the KLFs had more cojones in the bottom end than the RFs. OTOH I have to say that the RFs sounded a little smoother overall so the choice was not entirely intuitive and RF7s definitely can rock your world when powerful bass is demanded. Why the Khorns then? No easy way to define it but to me the khorns sound closer to what one might expect to hear at a live performance than any other speaker I have ever heard. They sound like being seated at midrow about 10 rows back from the stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msst Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 lynnm, I find opposite than what you do between the KLF and RF-7. I have both now and have compared them on same all equipment and room for many hours/days. They come very close to performance and only very slight differences, but overall the RF-7 is more dynamic and better presentation. Both speakers are excellent, and can't go wrong with either. I very much enjoy either speaker, if I had to do with just one, my choice would be for the RF-7 because I like the better resolution in the bass and slight more detail in the highs.

I went ahead and made some false corners and it did not really change much, maybe in the bass defenition, but in the last word, I think it was a sideways move.

smuttynose Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 Are you serious? If so, I would like to come look at them, I live in New Hampshire. Send me and email with some contact info if you want to try and set something up. I am actively shopping for Klipschorns, LaScallas or Cornwalls. Let me know. smuttynose@mac.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
