Jay481985 Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Well after RF-7, RF-83, and Cornwall hassled. I believe I am going rf-83 way. Thanks again to GaryMD, Tuned4Life, etc etc Well Tuned4Life made me realize that the cornwalls would not fit in my car cause their big s.o.b.s and I waited and waited and realized after making a mock in pizza boxes that they are way way too big The RF-7, still 1600 found one pair but their 1600 and will hold to that only. Also I tried the ebay game with the RF-7 black... look at the bid history, ok I will not go over 2/3 the cost of the rf-7 I can get at retail with full warantee..... I lost and the RSW-15 too. I wish I won both to have a very good 2.1 setup for less then 2000...... anyway I lost The RF-83 DrWho made me realize that the cone surface per volume of the enclosure is alot higher then the rf-7 its like 61 cubic inches per surface area of cones. the RF-7 and RF-5 are 51 cubic inches Also I was offered at JandR the lovely price of 1600 a pair. So I can get a new rf-83 for 1600 or the same price the other place is offering me for the rf-7! I called today and they said they expect them in next week. Also the guy at the other store told me that JandR must be crazy to give me that price and he even said shoot I might just go there and pick me up a pair cause even with his discount its not that cheap?

Bill H. Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Jay , Congrats to you! I believe you'll be the First Member here with the RF 83's! Please Post some Pics and let us know your impressions when you get everything setup! ......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay481985 Posted February 21, 2006 Author Share Posted February 21, 2006 will do but I am alittle annoyed cause there like will be in next week which was last week and they said they expect them two weeks from now. Yet an authorized dealer already has them and posted pics and a short review. Also I heard the RF-7 a few many times to kinda do a evaluation though I never owned them enough to say I can accurately compare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEAR Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Tuined4life wants the Cornwalls for himself! [:-*] SO you are getting the RF83's hmmm good choice anyway. Make sure you drive them with a worthy amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay481985 Posted February 21, 2006 Author Share Posted February 21, 2006 no no we had a couple long phone calls and mutually decided that the cornwalls will not fit in the car and it is a long long drive to warsaw. 330 miles or so. And for now I think I will be driving them with the Harmon Kardon 3480 stereo reciever Until I have enough for pre pro. Thinking rotel, I might buy a refurbished denon 3805 for 550 dollars.

KlipsDude Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 When it doesn't fit, you can ship! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay481985 Posted February 22, 2006 Author Share Posted February 22, 2006 tune4life and I both know the evils of shipping. I worked retail and seens first hand what happens to fragile and handle with care boxes. Tune4life will not accept that and neither will I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay481985 Posted February 22, 2006 Author Share Posted February 22, 2006 in a compact/midsize sedan btw. I am not even sure one will fit in the back seat....... let alone the trunk. I don't have a wagon or minvan or suv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay481985 Posted February 22, 2006 Author Share Posted February 22, 2006 Oh btw tuned4life and I mutually agreed that it was not possible and he traded his cornwalls for brand new lascalas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KlipsDude Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 If your that worried about shipping damage, than do like my Uncle did when he bought his RF-7's, rent a small U-Haul truck, pick up and bring'em home, he had to get his from a dealer out of state because no local dealer had them in stock. If you do ship, put insurance on it so if it does get damage, you won't have to pay for it. There are other really good shipping companies that take much better care than UPS (United Punching Service). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay481985 Posted February 24, 2006 Author Share Posted February 24, 2006 United Punching Service hahahahha that is a good one! But no I will buy the RF83 local, I live 7 miles from manhattan and JandR has parking if you spend over 100 dollars..... The cornwalls are too big to fit in my car is what I meant.
