IB Slammin Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 I looked at the 'discontinued" line and ether missed it, or it does not exist. Klipsch Epic series '94-'96. ?????? Thanks, tc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 The Epic series consisted of the CF-2, CF-3 and CF-4. The CF were set up in a d'apolitto (sp?) design. Touted by many as being more 'musical' than many other Klipsch models. http://www.klipsch.com/product/product.aspx?cid=124 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrWho Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 The Epic CF-4's are Roy's "babies" and in my opinion are the most "audiophile" sounding of all the Klipsch speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colterphoto1 Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 I was looking for the RF7's and didn't find them in current Reference lineup or in Discontinued. A Search brought them and the RF7 system up in it's own category. Who is maintaining this product catalog? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSport Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 last week they were in the CURRENT Reference line...perhaps they are making their move over to discontinued...(RF-7s) Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay481985 Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 isn't that the famed best rock speakers out there? the CF4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 I had a pair of CF3's here for a few months- they ROCKED. Very smooth two way, deep super-tight bass. I'd compare them very favorably to Chorus II or Cornwalls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssh Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 I helped a friend find a pr of CF4s to use with his CF3s for multichannel. Listening to them, you have to wonder why they were discontinued. There were some variations in the bass porting, and I'm not sure which years are preferred.They are awesome sounding speakers. IB, the ones I've heard are in Fayetteville.

DrWho Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 I believe the KLF-30 was more the old "rock" speaker...the Epic series was more along the goals of a super smooth midrange - I wouldn't exactly want super smooth on a rock speaker, but not like it'd suck either. And I would describe it as having a bubbly bass - not the raw kinda power you get with the cornwall / ultra2 subs and not the dryness of the horns. The variations in the Epic series were the result of marketing wanting more sensitivity and needing the CF4 to be as loud but preferably louder than the Chorus II for the same setting on the volume knob. This forced other compromises and is an annoying topic for the engineers...Someday I would love to hear a pair of the original design CF4's.

And I was always of the opinion that it was the Forte that was THE Klipsch Rock speaker. Max why do you think the Forte was known as the rock speaker? Is it because of the low frequency extension? This is an area that a few of my Klipsch buddies always like to point out to me (owners of LaScalas and Khorns) when they are over commenting on the very good solid state like bass being driven from my 10 watt SET mono block amps.

DrWho Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Well I'd argue the cornwall is a rock speaker too [] The khorn and lascala definetly aren't though considering that 80% of the material is compromised of "crappy" recordings [+o(] (of course it's just my own opinion) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SET12 Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 I'd agree with stock crossovers, but not with ALK's set up properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ancientdude Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 I have always heard that the KLF-30's were Klipsch's ultimate rock speaker. Having owned a pair, I can verify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
