wstrickland1 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 The last thing this forum needs is one, so I won't bore anyone. But I am happy to say that I picked up a NIB pair local from an AD for $1500 out the door. I brought them home and promptly replaced the RB 35s with them and away we went. The VSX 1015 drives them quite well. I know my Reference 200.7/Ref 50 rig would do much much more justice but it aint gonna happen. So call me sick, but now we have a system consisting of RF/RC/RS 7s, a BS old Klipsch KSW 150 sub, Sony 400 disc DVD player, Toshiba 50" HDTV, Hughes HD DTV TIVO and a Pioneer VSX 1015 receiver that basically will be tuned to a few soap operas and children shows. It will keep me downstairs a bit more, I will be using it more now at night rather than trudging upstairs. Anyway, the RF 7s are a totally awesome speaker. Everything I have heard about them is true. The Pioneer has the ability to use the 6th and 7th channel to bi amp the mains. I am going to do this at some point. I guess it will make a difference. I put Star Wars AOTC in the first night and the poor little KSW 150 sounded like a machine gun. I guess I'm gonna need a sub[] But the speakers absolutely rocked. Then some 2 channel CD music; David Sanborn, AC DC and Frank Sinatra. All handled very well. The AC DC was a little edgey but we are talking about late 70s rock. All in all, I can tell I'm really gonna love these things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockbobmel Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Yeah, How about a side by side with KLF-30s. I can get a pair in town for reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wstrickland1 Posted January 22, 2006 Author Share Posted January 22, 2006 1. I ain't luggin 'em upstairs 2. Rock, if they're reasonable, get them you won't be sorry But once football season is over, who knows. I have been considering swapping speakers now. Because I have a full 7.1 Ref system since I'm not selling the RB 35s. It would be RF/RC/RS 7s and RB 35s in the rear, the Martin Logan sub amd B & K electronics. That just might happen during the Winter doldrums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockbobmel Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Would you say they are more rock n roll than the RF-7s ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
