from Klipsch authorized d Summary:
After 18 months of demanding use, it just gets better with time... Ceramic metal drivers take quite a while to break in properly, so, i thought I would wait until I've had plenty of time to break in this C.C. Also the compression driven horn loaded tweeter takes almost as much break in time as does the mid/bass drivers. I have my RC-7 on top of my entertainment center which is about 5 1/2 ft. high, with a pair of RB-75's on stands at about 5 ft. to create as seemless of a soundstage as possible.
After about 4 months I decided to use the adjustable screws that angle the center down a bit to accomodate the 1/2 ft. difference in height with my RB-75's. The dialog from male voices are as realistic as if one was standing there speaking in real life. Female voices just sing with realism. Klipsch (with horn loaded tweeters) definately has built a strong customer base over the years, and once you've listened to a properly broken in RC-7 (and any of the Reference line), you will have a difficult time ever going back to anything else.
I have yet to find a C.C. that sounds this good anywhere, especially for the $$.
With a Denon avr-3805 these speakers are so easy to drive with their incredibly high efficiency rated at 98dbls.
I have changed speakers so many times over the last 20 years, I think its a fair thing to say I've got a bit of experience in this department.
At any rate, if you have the $$, and are in the market for a new center channel, buy one while you still can. It may be the last center you'll ever buy. Strengths:
Big Center for BIG ACCURATE sound!
Metal drivers with heavy duty rubber butles built to last!
Once you've gone with a horn loaded speaker, there's no turning back.
Weaknesses:
With any well built driver, break in time is looooonnngg! Although they still sound good right out of the box! Just keep in mind, if you think it sounds good brand new.... just wait! Similar Products Used:
