Big Bean Posted December 27, 2001 Share Posted December 27, 2001 How about a small version of an RF7 Klipsch. BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenratboy Posted December 27, 2001 Share Posted December 27, 2001 In what way? Do you mean a bookshelf with a 10" woof-woof and the same 1.75" horn setup? That would be AWESOME, but the truth of the matter is 2 below the woofer, 10 for the woofer, 1 above the woofer, 8 for the horn, and 1 above the horn. Total height 22 thats practically two feet tall! It would also need to be about 14-16 deep. I just dont see an application where that would be viable; it would be too big to be a satellite, but something that size would be a REAL speaker. It would be expensive, probably $1,100 to $1,400 a pair (price has nothing to do with this post, anyway.) In the 70s and 80s, there were a lot of speakers like that, JBL studio monitor types, and bigger. By the time you put a 10, 12, or 15 woofer and midrange/tweeters together, you get into that bookshelf/tower speaker transition, it sits on the floor because its SO huge, but not quite the 30 or 40 to be a tower speaker. I dont know if those types of speakers have a specific name. Anyway, like I said, that would be AWESOME, but I dont think it will happen, but I hope I am proved wrong. Check this DCM10A (www.dcmspeakers.com) speaker out, big *** bass, not bad quality, this is the transition type speaker I was talking about: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted December 28, 2001 Share Posted December 28, 2001 Actually, you mean the RB7. Here it is: ------------------ deanG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bean Posted December 28, 2001 Author Share Posted December 28, 2001 I guess I'm just missing my old JBL L-100s and the long version of Rare Earths "Get Ready". They probably sound poor compared to RC-7s. BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenratboy Posted December 28, 2001 Share Posted December 28, 2001 Yeah, there are quite a few companies that use their center looking speakers for all five-six channels. I think it works out pretty well. As for those JBLs, you can get some LSR32s, 12 woofers, midrange and tweeter, the good ol studio monitor is alive and well. Yes, they are true professional speakers, think they are nearly a thousand bucks a pop. I bet they sound very good, but I have never heard them and probably will not. The new JBL Studio series is like them, but smaller and for home use, there is a second revision of the Studios coming out in a week or two...

matthew2 Posted December 28, 2001 Share Posted December 28, 2001 Why would you want an RB7? I agree that it would be to big. However, it would sound great! I couldnt use a center speaker as mains..I bet they sound good, but I would just feel strange about it.. ------------------ Matthew Gatta' love klipsch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bean Posted December 28, 2001 Author Share Posted December 28, 2001 I don't really care for dual woofers, even with the progressive crossover. BB Thanks for the pics Kenratboy.
