Summary:
I also like the Klipsch RF-7 speakers.I use just 4 speakers.Two for fronts and two for surrounds.I find I don't even need a sub.And I omit the center channel in my reciever's setup.
The bass is amazing from these speakers.
But,I have a question for shakespear,you say you bought or aquired parts for your RF-7's.Could you please email me and tell me what these parts are and how I can do it???
I've contacted Bob Crites,someone whom I've read alot of people refer to,but his answer to me was, he has no knowledge of the RF-7 speakers,as people don't rebuild until a speaker is atleast 20 years old.
But I would like to trck mine out if possible.
Thanks,
duggy

Summary:
Why do you think almost eighty people reviewed these speakers? They do everything and can compete with speakers well over the MSRP. I listen to stereo music as well as HT. Listening to instruments and vocals from a good source on good equipment into them is sheer pleasure. Add whatever superlatives you want to throw in to complete the thought. Listen to the facts again...four ten inch woofers and two excellent horns for the pair, all set in good solid enclosures. I have a bunch of other Klipsch speakers for the supporting cast as my Denon 4306 (130w is plenty) will allow me ten speakers including the sub. I consider myself very lucky. The RF7s have a place among the all-time best of Klipsch and many other manufactorers as well. Hope you can find a pair. Did I mention that I love them?

Summary:
So, I'm never one to submit a review in a day, or even a month- I've been listening to these guys over a year and I have to say, I'm still, daily impressed.

To be fair- Week 2 I had these upgraded with Dean G crossovers (google that phrase if you're curious) which changed the sound in these speakers from some of the best music coming through speakers I'd ever heard to some of the best music I'd ever heard. Live sounded live. The highs, which are typically a little harsh in horns, were tamed and the bass seemed slightly extended. Anyway a low cost upgrade to make a great product perform on par with speakers 5 times the cost.

After 1 year, my friends buy new CD's and come over to my house to listen to them to see how they should sound. Almost always they leave shaking their heads in disbelief at how great it sounded. Occasionally, if the CD was recorded badly, they will leave glad they have less sensitive speakers. You will hear recording flaws on the RF-7's. I have them on every day. They sing at low volume, and take very little power to push, though if you want to "go techno" these things don't need a sub, they will make your walls shivver and your windows hum with bass.

These are the only speakers I have hooked up to an Onkyo A-9555 amp. I use them for music, movies (push the little loudness button for that surreal movie bass effect) and radio. My room is about 14 feet wide by 30 feet long and they fill it and then some. You really won't be dissapointed by these speakers, and for the price (especially with the Dean G x-overs) they're as good as it gets.

Strengths:
Power/volume, clairity, fairly tight bass with a good range, piano sounds like a piano, voice souds like as soon as they're done singing they're going to join you for dinner and trumpets will give you chills. Who'd have thought horns sounded so good on... horns.

Weaknesses:
Can be pushed by a small amp but the 10 inch woofers really come alive with a bit more power.

Highs can be a bit tinny/clinical, but with upgraded crossovers that issue is moot.

Things are heavy, about 100lbs each and take some time to place just right, but once you get them there you're good.

Plastic feet suck- use the spikes. Grill is a cheap piece of junk, I keep mine off - I've considered having a metal grill cutom made for when the little kids come over.... still debating.

Similar Products Used:
All sorts of random cheap speakers. Polk floor speakers, Bose..., B&H, Swan bookshelf speakers.

Summary:
Warning: These speakers may cause permanent hearing damage! What could I possibly add to all these great reviews? Huh!!! First off, folks seem to complain about how cheaply the feet are made and how heavy these transducers are. Come on people! Your suppose to dance with the ladies not the speakers... Unless your moving every year once these RF's are in place thats were they stay and they are tall and thin. Better up than out! Right? Just ask a Chinese structural engineer, he'll tell ya. Onto the sound: I ran an Audio Research LS3 preamp(no tone knobs) cause a preamp should be a wire with a volume control. Let the amp, speakers, and final recording tell the tale. One McIntosh MC402(uranium cored) 10ga. bi-wire and a Sony ES changer. Plenty of juice! They say more power is better, but when you melt the crossovers that saying is out the window bacwards. Warranty dept. ask no questions and mailed me new crossovers ASAP. Really, really great sounding speaker doesnt need too much power. I think 200 250 WPC is just right for these. Remember they are rated for 1200 watts max. peak. @ first they may sound a little harsh a carpeted room might help? I dont think compression driven horns break-in it was more of a getting used too. Great upper bass, low mids,and highs. Very two way, sometimes heavy coloration when blasted @350 to 400 watts. Nevertheless, Bold, Loud, and Clear! "The Copper Queens" as I call them. A transducer I really love and will never part with even after hearing $$$$15 and 20 thousand dollar speakers!!! I work at a beer distributor and live in the real world. I sold a kidney and 4 weeks pay for the McIntosh I dont need to the same for transducers. Just buy em' cause they smoke the RF83's anyway. Thanks for reading

Strengths:
Solid build, top notch drivers, titanium diaphragm and well designed horn to boot. Loud and Clear as a dinner bell. Efficient and power hungry just the same. Georgeous copper colored 10's. Real nice laminate, grille studs are weak so leave em off. Great party speaker just dont let anyone try and jump off em.

Weaknesses:
They dont go to the fridge for me and they wont clean my house!!!!!! Whats up with that?!?!?!
