timbley Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 Maple finish, excellent condition. The grills are perfect, drivers are perfect. The finish is near perfect. I found one minor scratch on top of one speaker. You really have to be looking for it to see it. These are great speakers, but I want to get something smaller for my little condo. I'm in a downscaling mode. $1200.00. Local pickup, unless you want to arrange some kind of shipping. I don't have the boxes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will be smaller, but there may end up being a huge subwoofer with two 15" drivers in the corner of my room. Or maybe not. I'm going to try making a 4 or 5 way (if subwoofer is added) active system. Why? Well, I think direct radiators do extremely well when they're asked to cover a narrow frequency range, and they are of appropriate size for the frequencies they are covering. I heard a 6 way speaker design last month, and old kit of some kind from the 70's that the local second hand stereo store had on consignment. The speaker was weak in the bass and needed some EQ, but there was definitely a magic to it's sound in the midrange. Other direct radiator experiences, and a re-listening to the Klipschorns, is making me realize that in my small condo I can't take advantage of the concert level decibles that horns have to offer, and that direct radiators can be incredibley lush, detailed and spacious sounding in smaller rooms at lower volumes. So I'm going to leave Klipsch, and horn speakers at least for the time being, and see what I can come up with now that these new fangled digital crossovers make the whole thing a lot easier.

timbley Posted June 22, 2005 Author Share Posted June 22, 2005 While I think local pickup is by far the best idea, I'm willing to find/make suitable boxes and get these RF-7s packaged up if somebody would like them shipped somewhere. I may even be able to purchase the orignal boxes from somebody local, but I'll have to ask about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Somebody jump on this, MAPLE is not made anymore and it's a beautiful veneer. I have a set of RB3II's in the maple and they're beautiful. I'd buy them myself if they were closer. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbley Posted June 24, 2005 Author Share Posted June 24, 2005 They are indeed beautiful, gives me a lump in my throat when I think about 'em leaving. I didn't know the maple finish isn't available any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael ---------------- I just made an offer on Audiogon to sell these speakers for $1000.00 if the buyer will cover shipping. I'm offering you all the same deal. If you want to pick them up yourself, the same $1000.00 will still get you these beautiful Maple RF-7s. You can pay yourself for the shipping!

timbley Posted July 11, 2005 Author Share Posted July 11, 2005 One last chance for anybody within driving range of Eugene Oregon to come pick up a beautiful pair of RF-7s in near perfect condition, maple finish. I've got a spare room here and can provide free accomodation if you need to spend the night. Asking $1000.00. I'm getting ready to ship these wonderful speakers off to a buyer in Florida if I get no local takers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
