Klipsch RF-7 II Floorstanding Speaker First Look

[DenPureSound]

Klipsch RF-7II's --- I need to See the TEST Specs.

I need to see the Anechoic Chamber test specs in so that I can compare them to Dennis Murphy's Philharmonic PH3's. For starters let's see some test specs on the RF-7II, before I put out that kind of money. It better be flat +-2db from 25-20KHz. for those dollars. Dennis Murphy has about 15 test plots on the New Philharmonic PH3 speaker. Where are the Klipsch test specs?

... Where are the Klipsch test specs?

Have you called Klipsch? They are more likely to have it than AH as AH doesn't have a chamber.

At $3200 a pair, the Klipsch RF-7 II floorstanding speakers might not be that expensive in the grand scheme of things but they are pricey. In this price range, you expect considerable performance. Technology-wise, the RF-7 II speakers look fairly impressive. We're sure that three of the Klipsch mantras of "high efficiency with low distortion" with "controlled directivity" and "wide dynamic range" will be realized. We'll have to wait on our measurements to see if "flat frequency response" is also achieved. Klipsch lovers are probably already lining up for the RF-7 IIs. They are a bit boxy looking and horn-loaded tweeters usually invoke a love/hate response. With the legions of Klipsch fans out there already, we're sure these will find a market. We're just not sure how they'll stack up against other speakers in the price range.

I did email Klipsch, but no reply after a few days.

I would love to see the Measurements on the Klipsch RF-7II's?

Where can I find them, inclusive of all the plots?

Please PM me, if you know where are the Meas. Plots on these are, I can not find them anywhere, why is that for a speaker that costs over $3K / Pair?

RF 7II's

These speakers are amazing. Spec's are not the decideing factor, what you hear is. I am a Klipsch owners and feel that you get a great value for your money. The used market is also a great place to buy if the price tag is to steep.

Thuuuuuper awesome speakers! (sorry for the pun, but these things are amazing)

I wanted to write about these MONTHS ago but never got around to it. Now a lot of time has gone but, but the info is still worth sharing. We had first bought speakers from a company who's name began with a "b" for our studio and noticed that they were very limited and mostly bright but not "full". We almost went with another brand until we started asking around. A local specialist recommended RF7-II for their quality and range. He went on and on about how you can get the most out of your dollar and still sound like some of these high priced speakers he had to offer. We have owned and listened to Klipsch throughout the years but this was different. We then ran into a few great reviews (ie, Review: Klipsch RF-7II Reference Series Home Theater Speaker System | Poc Network - Tech Blog) and it pulled us in even further. Finally we stopped by a local store that had the on display and we melted. Needless to say, we now have the RF7-II speakers at the studio. They deliver exactly what we need and when the clients are away, we never stop playing. Highly recommended.
