They are a lot of speaker if found around 1300.00 or so a pair, I had them for my 30 day trial and ultimatly they were very imbalanced in the horn overtaking any low frequencys, so yes were slightly brittle, or forward, or bright whatever audio nomenclature you prefer, especially in my room situation, If Equed' can be very good, but absolutly will need low end boost if nothing else in most scenario's... I found Higher power was not necessarily the overall Key to these speakers as many seem to push, even though they are of hi-efficiency(yes should run fine on 20 watts) but I suggest a resonable hi-current Amp, nothing to do with wattage, cause those 10's need some good control and decent push. A lot of speaker and potential for the money if found on a great deal. Or stay with tubes all together on them, so I think actually you have the BEST amp for the job, cause the mcintosh seem to always make klipsch perform better than other amps. Your mac might take away the apparent "Thin" sound of the speaker by adding some body too. You should maybe just take the amp to where you heard them and hook it up, I know a bit of a hassel with a super heavy amp like that but at least you can get an idea if you really feel the potential for the flavor you want.
Anyone heard or own Klipsch RF7 ?
I heard the RF7's briefly today and was blown away by the HUGE soundstage. I predicted them to be a little harsh and I was right. To defend the speaker the cabling looked a little average and they were being run with an average integrated amp which I won't mention to avoid conflict. Also I like to audition some harsh sounding CD's as some speakers deal with them better. All in all IMO they were decent for the price being they are discontinued and being "blown out". I've read about a crossover upgrade that is supposed to transform these speakers into a whole new animal. Has anyone had this done, if so how much was it? My other question is has anyone had any real success EQing the unwanted frequencies out while not totally altering the signal? An MC352 will run them.
Thanks again !!!
