Catbo Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 The RF-83 sounds very sweet too, very nice. It's more refined to my ears compared to the RF-7. I liked the way the RF-7 sound wasn't as refined and more of what I like. It's going to be a personal choice for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catbo Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Now that I'm thinking about, I'm thinking Klipsch should keep the RF-7 line for those who like it more in your face, and the RF-83 for those who like it more refined. That would give good choices to each our taste! [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catbo Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Jay481985, if you don't mind, could you tell me where you found that deal for RF-7? Is that A stock or B stock? For that kind of deal, I would buy another pair of RF-7 to build a second system upstairs. Is this ok for me to ask? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay481985 Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 uhh its basically open box, demo that the dealer had it was in pretty good condition and had not visable damage to the enclosure nor speakers. If you want them I live in NJ. I could hold them. I would buy them and sell at cost... Just the catch is I will listen to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetJockey Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 ... However, I just added a 200wpc x5 amp a week ago and the improvement in fidelity and overall sound especially the mids and bass control is staggering..... Was that a Sunfire amp? TNR, hi there. I got the Emotiva MPS1 amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfk Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Rolo, go with it...although I am a heritage lover, the RF-?3 is a truly spectacular model line, so I would go with the one you enjoy best, it's your Euros you're laying out. Go with what you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volumizer Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Regarding Sunfire (Cinema Grand) vs RF-83, I learned the hard way that these amps must be properly ventilated or they can overheat and fail. When I inadvertently left the amplifier on in a closed cabinet overnight, with no signal, it got hot. Then, when I put a signal through it, I heard some very disturbing sounds emanating from the left RF-83. Shortly thereafter, billows of acrid grey smoke spewed from the rear vents at the bottom of the speaker (a lot). The horn and all three woofers had been fried. The woofer voice coils had melted to slag, so the cones were frozen solid n their baffles. Apparently, an outpu transistor for the left side went on the fritz. Of note, the Klipsch crossover appears unscathed. Lowry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
