Sound & Vision Magazine

Well,weater wise here on the gold coast its always warm and sunny

Fabian. Good to hear the meds help sometimes. About that time and date. That is also nice to know as I always have a hard time figuring out if it is tomorrow or yesterday over there.

Dean. The guy wrote a pretty positive article about the 7's I don't see how he could have liked them as well as he did if they were only putting out what his measurements indicated. Strange.

Fabian. It snows where I live, but usually not as much as up north like where Dean lives. The most I have seen at one time here is 27 inches. According to some yankees I know who have moved here, 27 inches is no big deal. I don't care for snow and if I ever see another snowflake it will be too soon. I like summertime boating on the lake better than slipping & sliding on snow & ice.

Dean. How did you like the review on the Rf7's?

joe

Dean, have you heard Krix Speakers, they are made here in Aussie land and sound very good but are very expensive.....Fabian

Dean, isnt Bose that bunch of gangsters that rip off the world flogging $20 stereos for like $10,000, yep I think so...B%%####s Fabian

Hey dean,
I get sound and vision in the mail every month.Yes they did review them, they called them BIG. Like everything else we American's like.They say they have excessivesiliance.They also didn't produe a deepor airy soundstage, nor where they effortlessovere the highest octave.
You might not want to read it as they just about bashed them the whole time.Don't get down on the Dean,Not everybody like's Klipsch.Thats fine, just a stupid magazine right???
O well sorry dude!!

Mantis. I respectfully, and I mean VERY respectfully, disagree with what you just wrote. The reviewer said he was expecting excessive sibilance and spittiness, but that they simply weren't there. No excessive siblance. He also said that the trade off for the enhanced detail was a not quite as deep or airy a soundstage as his reference speakers. That doesn't mean he hated them. He also did not slam them for the whole review.

joe

By the way Joe...cool name!!

Mantis. Thanks. Heck after you read that review again, you may still see it the same way. We may just have a difference of opinion. After all to a horny guy Klipsch are accurate and detailed, but to a nonhorny they are bright and harsh. Nonhornys say their speakers are warm and laidback, hornyguys say, well your dome tweats are muddled and boring with no projection.

Fabian. I really was wondering if this hillbilly verses yankee stuff was making any sense to you. Yankees are the good people that live in the northern part of the U.S.A. I live with the good people in the southern part of the U.S.A. We southerners & northerners bicker, argue and make fun of each other about our differences in culture, customs, & general lifestyle. And there really are differences. During our civil war in the 1860's, the north was refered to as yankees the south as rebels. I guess that is where some of this stuff comes from.

Just to make this more confusing, the east coast and the west coast people of this great country also have a great time fighting and making fun of each other. Then to top all that off the east & west like to make fun of all of middle america, sort of lumping the central america yankees & hillbillys, into one uncool group.

The thing is all this bickering usually only goes so far. The way most all of us see it, attack New York & Washington D.C., we feel like you just attacked us in Arkansas, Ohio, Kansas, Oregon, etc. Thats why we will win this war. We fight each other for fun but get along when it really matters.

I'm sure others will correct any mistakes I have made in this post. Now back to the north-south argument.

Orange. I was not whining about cold & snow. I have worked up north, outside and in the winter. Yes it is cold, but nothing I couldn't handle. You want to hear some whining? You should hear these yankees complain during June, July, & August when it is 99 degrees with about 100% humidity! Man what a bunch of babies! You can't get them out of the a/c for more than 30 seconds before they start to keel over from the heat. Real men may be able to handle the snow with no complaint, but they are sissyboys when it comes to a little heat & humidity.

joe

I read it again,
they did seem to like them,As home theater speaker's mated with B&K, they do make for a killer system, i have Installed that exact system amny times when I worked for tweeter,I Installed it with the B&K avr307 as well, we had a great customer that live's in New jersey that won't buy anything else but Klipsch.He started out with a Sony 3eS RECEIVER, BUT I upgraded him to the B&K as I knew it would sound much smoother.The B&K avr307 does in fact sound good with the rf 7's.I personally think they are the very best Klipsch speaker's ever made.I still don't like them for me.I don't like the way they image.(I don't think they can).I also don't care for the extreme high's ( not detail)they belt out.To me also they have no depth in sound.No mid range. I don't like them at all, but they do sound much better then all the other's even the rest of the new line.Now the rears....different story.Those rears are just about the most dynamic,room filling rears I ever installed.They are incredible.They have awesome detail.When you run The Matrix, you there in the scene, not watching it.Also the sub......stunning, that monster can just about break you.It hit's so hard it made me laugh out loud(it's a good thing to laugh).
For Home theater mated with the right amp, you can have bragging right's in your town if not the hole city, for music.....run for your life(SCREAMING)

But Dean,
they don't have to play music, just effect's!!!
LoL
all in good fun buddy!!!
by the way, all that snow that must be so nice to get that much snow I wish it would snow like that around here in Phila Pa.It does once in like every 5 years or so, but other than that it's light.
