Speedball Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 I just listened to these about an hour ago at the local dealer and they make me very happy, huge amounts of solid bass from the 12" drivers and they were being powered with a small NAD integrated. Not quite as much detail or musical as my RF-7 but still the horns give plenty especially if the right amp could be mated to them. The fronts being tapered looked more elegant than the 7's by a longshot. Four hundred bucks a piece and in very good shape colored Light Oak.......even my wife liked them.....lol. here is a picture from the website..........

fletcherkane Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Congrats on finding a pair of very difficult to come by CF 4's. Very cool! Now if you could only find a copy of the equally if not harder to find KV4 Center channel.... I love the look of the CF series with the horn between the woofers....

JohnL Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Hmmm... If you lay it on the side, they look like a big woofered version of the KLF-C7 with some front ports! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedball Posted March 12, 2007 Author Share Posted March 12, 2007 .....well, if it were to be used as a center channel it just might blow you out of your chair with all the bass.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedball Posted March 24, 2007 Author Share Posted March 24, 2007 Well knock me back in my chair and enjoy the view, that is quite a setup. [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleve Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Acutally, I've taken both the 7100 and the McIntosh 4100 receiver from my system since that photo in November. 3 weeks ago, i scored a near mint McIntosh 7106 for only $750 on Ebay. I've setup the 7106 as follows - 1&2 are bridged to mono, driving left surround, 3&4 bridged to drive center, and 5&6 bridged to drive right surround. Each bridged channel is capable of 300 watts continuous, 20-20khz +0dB, - 0.25 dB at 0.005% maximum distortion, with 1.7 dB of dynamic headroom atop that, for a total of 900 watts. My 2205 is for 2 channel, or left and right front for 5 channel operation. That's "only" 200 watts per channel. Total system wattage - 1300 watts. Here's the way my system looks now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
