Klipsch RF-7 Floorstanding Speakers

Klipsch RF-7 Floorstanding Speakers 

DESCRIPTION

The RF-7 Reference Series flagship loudspeaker was designed to provide the highest level of two-channel and multi-channel audio as well as home theater surround sound (with the matching RC-7 center channel, RSW-15 subwoofer and RS-7 rear channel speakers), but its striking metal drivers and real-wood enclosure also make it a desirable complement to any decor. Available in three beautiful furniture-grade veneers — black, maple or cherry — each handcrafted, real-wood finish is unique.
The RF-7 utilizes a combination of professional grade materials and advanced horn technology for a smooth response and consistent coverage pattern. The new Reference Series flagship’s 1.75" titanium dome compression driver is coupled to an 8" square Tractrix® Horn and powered by an unusually large, video-shielded 22oz. magnet. This combination offers the speed and accuracy needed to deliver clear, accurate, non-fatiguing high frequencies and upper midrange frequencies at any volume level. This design approach is so efficient that it virtually eliminates the most common cause of driver failure — excessive energy.

Strength:

Killer life like audio reproduction

Weakness:

Grills are kinda flimsy for a 1500 dollar speaker

These speakers kick butt. The musical reproduction is second to none. I experience no faigue whatsoever. I have a Kenwood Basic M2 Amp which is a very clean .004THD and loud 220WPC and these speakers handle everything it can dish out. The highs are very life like and accurate and the speakers pick up every nuance in the recording. I highly reccomend.

Strength:

Size and finish and sound quality and 5 year warranty.

Weakness:

Klipsch technial support SUCKS !!! The user manual is terrible and they are packed in very below par packaging.

These are a really big cabinet and very well built and most importantly sound great. Much more high end sound and low end sound that my Swan Diva's 6.1 I sent back to AV123.com

Strength:

Incredible depth, good bass, great mid and highs. Very efficient and loud!

Weakness:

Really need higher-end solid state amp or tube amp to create realistic reproduction.

Originally was looking for a more dynamic sound than I had from a B&O system. Settled on Klipsch RF7 after listening to similiar KEF/ Def Tech and B&W's. After break in, the speakers were everything I thought they would be. Loud Dynamic, but unfortunately alittle fatiquing. I called the dealer and he suggested checking out a tube based Amp. I settled on a used VTL 40/40 tube amp- and the rest is history. Klipsch and especially these RF 7's were made for tubes. They require very little power and the tube sound smoothes out the rough edges inherent with horns. I 86'ed my Denon CD Player for the new Jolida JD 100, now I will match the sound from these Klipsch's with anything within 2,000 of their price range. They sound great with any type of music.

Strength:

See my review underneath, but I think they're absolutely stunning.

Weakness:

None.

You'll find my review underneath, but I want to correct the prices I quoted. Retail price in the Netherlands is $ 3.270 for a pair. What I paid was after a discount, and the trade-in of Infinity Kappa 100.

Strength:

Good out of the box, dynamic and detailed sound, with a deep tight bass.

Weakness:

Don''t know (yet?).

The Dutch retail price is very high $ 3,960. I was very impressed with the ''out of the box'' sound at the retailer, and was able to get a demo pair with 15% discount. They disappeared during transport, so in the end I received a new pair with the same discount. I traded-in my 6 month old Infinity Kappa 100, and was left with a bill of $ 1,650. They''re worth every (Euro) cent though, because of their dynamic detailed clear sound. A definite improvement on the too strong bass sounding Kappa''s (in my smallish room).

Strength:

Quality of sound, and loud.

Weakness:

to early to tell

I bought these speakers a couple of weeks ago. So far am very pleased with them. The one thing I can say about tthe RF7''s now is they are heavy and solid. My system is set up in my living room and it is quuite small so have not been able to run a hole lot of power threw them because I can not stay in the room with them when I turn my old JVC up past a quarter volume I do plan on updating my reciver real soo will probally go with a Yamaha I will do a nother post in a couple of months after I use them and learn the in''s and out''s of these speakers
