RF-3 + sub vs RF-7 without sub ?

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

For a future investment, I'd like to know what is the best: should I start with RF-3's and add a SVS-Ultra later, or should I go for the big guns and get RF-7's without a sub? My room is apprx. 12x27 feet.

I only audienced the RF-3 (and SF-2), so I don't know how the RF-7 compares with the RF-3, especially with bass. Bass is very important to me. My budget for an amplifier is limited to 1000$.

thanx,

I have heard that the RF-7s have very good bass of their own. They can go low and hit hard with their clean, crisp, accurate, and non-boomy bass. This is all according to what TheEAR has said.

In my opinion, you should go with the RF-7s as their detail, accuracy, slam factor is all much greater than the RF-3s.

As for the receiver, since your budget is $1,000, I would go with the Denon AVR-3802.

RF-7's have great bass that is tight and detailed, but they do not compete with a subwoofer. If bass from 20-80 Hz is your passion, you will need a subwoofer.
