Thoughts on the Klipsch RF7-III

[Isosevodes]

Good evening all. Does anyone have any experience with the Klipsch RF7-III speakers? I’ve read the reviews and for the right price ($3200/pair) they appear to be outstanding candidates. I recently traded my Polk R700’s with my brother for his Klipsch RP8000F-II’s. I really like the Klipsch sound even though the R700’s were, IMO, equally as impressive. I’m clearly never satisfied. I may step up to the RF7-III’s, but I’m still seeking input before I make the plunge, that is, if I make the plunge.

Hard to know how you might like particular speakers. Suggest you compare both in your own room/setup for preference. I would look to other brands than Polk or Klipsch personally....

The RF-7 IIIs will have more dynamic range but they won't be as linear. I would have stuck with the Polks over the Klipsch speakers, at least for my own tastes.

Your ears and brain are the final judge.....but, man...the Polk 700's are/were such a sweet nice speaker.
Those Klipsch's are, well Klipsch's.
They all look like 80's rack system speakers. (besides the "in your face" sound presentation)

If you are happy that's all that matters.
Given your age, there might be a good reason the Klipsch's do more for you.
I'm 68, but my ears are still pretty damn good.

Klipsch would not even get close to my shortlist. There are a lot better speakers to be had for that money.
