Nicu Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Does anyone know if the RF-7 and RC-7 are going out of production this fall? Thanks, N Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrWho Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 I highly doubt it. Though Klipsch is coming out with the Premiere series, it's going to be aimed at a different group of people willing to spend a lot more money. As long as the reference keeps making money I would expect them to continue selling them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelerFan Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 I haven't heard that anywhere. The Reference Premier series I believe is going to be a whole other ball (high end) of wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petrol Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 hmmm, 'Premiere series'? with any luck I might be able to find a few nice upgrades on ebay when the deep pocket gang decides it's time to unload their lowily RF-7 & RC-7's for what will probably be the big 'must haves' of the audio as bling world, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 The RF-7 will probably get a face lift soon, but I'm sure it's going to be around a while. As far as the Premier Series goes -- I think it's going to be a year or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j-malotky Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Plus the Ref Premere is going to be WAY more expensive the the RF. I doubt Klipsch would leave a big whole in that price range. JM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freak Nasty Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 How much more are the premiere going to be?? Have a price been decided yet? If yes how much exactly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no connection to Klipsch except for my participation on this board, so this is only my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyKlipschFan Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Just my opinion.. I, too, really doubt the RF7's are going away.. Maybe a RF7- version II if anything? The days of HT speakers changing every year are over,... for now. The system is really a home run, too, IMO. Ask Picky! Especially the Center speaker.

mmiles Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Maybe an RF-7IID. "D" = deang's crossover mod. I had seen a prototype of the PREMIER at CES (or was it CEDIA?) in 2004. At that time the MSRP target was $5-6K for the mains and the center channel (not on display) $2-3K. The target was the B&W 700 and 800 series and Paradigm Studio Reference series. The Klipsch rep claimed these are his main competitors at this price point. Regards, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yesfan70 Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Do you mean Paradigm's Signature Series line? The Studio Series line is priced closed to Klipsch's Reference Series. I think the Studio 40s are about the same price (give or take a couple of hundred $) as Klipsch's RB-75s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmiles Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 I would assume the higher priced Paradigm. I hope this is not a shot in the foot for Klipsch since this is the first I can recall them getting into a "mid tier" pricing model. There are several $5K - $10K speakers out there... I know Belle's, Klipschorns and LaScala are sold at higher prices but not like Dynaudio, Dali, Aerial, Wilson, JMFocal, Joseph Audio, Martin Logan etc. As for me, I can't wait!
