Klipsch Reference Owners???

**Kipp Jones** · **11-03-06, 10:21 PM**

Who else is an owner? I am running Klipsch RF-7s with an RC-7, 4 RS-7s and an SVS PB2+. Killer sound system driven by a Pioneer Elite 49TXi.

I don't own Reference speakers. Did have Legends. They were very nice. But, I was seduced by the sound of the Heritage speakers. No going back now.

I came oh so close to picking up the Klipsch line of speakers, but it didn't work out. I would have had a set of their new line in the HT room as a demo. I still may one day pick up a set.

I run a set of the Klipsch Reference Bookshelves with matching center and rears. Paired with 2 x SVS PB12+ .

Best sounding system for movies I've heard. Really dynamic due to the horn design and crystal clear at the same time.

See my pics I put in my profile...All Klipsch Ref 7 system and 2 SW15's custom installed in a scoop cab.
I matched these up with the very warm and natural sounding McIntosch a/v pre amp and McIntosh amps.

I just bought the Klipsch THX 7.1 system less the subs! They are amazing for both movies and stereo. They replaced my Paradigm studio's V1 system.

Mini Ref 7 in my theater.. Mini being I went RB-75's for the R&L and RC-7 for C. Then I compromised a bit on the surrounds for cost and space reasons. I went with the little RB-15's to round out 7.1. They actually hold their own quite well.

Although a little part of me wishes that I just went with the THX setup at the time, my bank account loves that I didn't. I couldn't resist the smoking deal that I got them all for.

In the end they sound great.

Had a Def-tech surround setup and replaced the mains with Klipsch RF-5 towers. I loved the sound so much, I bought two RF-7 towers as the models changed in 2006 and saved $$....so the RF-5 pair are at the surround position!!....I still have my smaller RC-35 in center and an RSW-10 sub...Planning to change to the RC-7 center next and then....I can't take my attention away from the SVS subs!!....I think that will be the ultimate set-up....maybe the SVS PB12-plus.
Power by a Yamaha RX-V2600.

I've had Klipsch RF3's, RFC, KSW 12, and RS 3's for the past 3 years. I am finally starting my basement HT and can't wait to put these guys in their new home!!!

**drdoan** · **02-09-07, 10:24 AM**

Rob, I also owned those speakers (3 ll's) and loved them. Make sure you set them up properly with your receiver and listening position. If your basement is very "alive" you might want to consider some room treatment. Welcome to the Shack and have fun. Dennis

**robk_11** · **02-09-07, 07:16 PM**

Thanks Dennis. I have been finding some good advice on here about room treatments and everything else. I am taking on the HT DIY style on all fronts. I am looking forward to learning as i go and not making too many mistakes!!

**Replacement** · **04-08-07, 10:32 PM**

I have
RF-82's for the mains, RC-35 for center and RS-35's for side and rear.

I love them!

**Egil** · **04-09-07, 05:01 AM**

I was Klipsch'd a couple of years ago, when I bought some SP1s.

Now I have RF5s, RC7, RS25 and some Tannoy Speakers in a 7.1 configuration. Im subless atm, but used to have a SVS PB12U - which is a fantastic sub btw..

A friend of mine has a pair of RF7s driven by a MCintosh MC275 (tube amplifier), and that is my 'dream stereo-setup' atm.. Simply amazing!

**speed3** · **04-09-07, 06:32 AM**

I don't have the reference series, but I do have Legends in my home theater and love them. Klipsch makes a great speaker at a reasonable price point. It would be hard to find another speaker that could fill my 6300^3ft room so easily.

**Dougie085** · **04-10-07, 12:00 AM**

I've got Klipsch RF-62 fronts and RC-62 center still working on sub and surrounds.

**JcarD** · **04-17-07, 12:39 AM**

In order to have a visually inconspicuous system, I recently acquired RB-81 fronts, RC-62 center and JL Audio f113 Fathom sub and now need to replace my in-ceiling surround speakers. Any input appreciated regarding choosing the right speakers to complete my set-up.

**htnut12** · **04-17-07, 07:45 PM**

Synergy all around with new in wall reference 5's for the surrounds. DIY IB subwoofer.

**j-dizzle** · **04-27-07, 06:40 PM**

I am running RF-3's up front with a RC-7 as center. I am using RS-3's as surrounds on the side and a RC-3 for a rear surround. The bass is coming from a RSW-10. I am using a Denon 3805 receiver and a Denon 1910 DVD Player.

I am loving it!!!!!!!

Wish I had the RF-7's though

How is the JL Audio Fathom f113. I hear it's absolutely rediculous!!

Having sold my entire home theatre, im slowly rebuilding it. Ive just picked up some RF-3s with RB-3s as rears and an RC-3 center. I probably over payed for them but they were local, and i dont think i could have had better for the same price.

Im running them on an older Dolby Digital pioneer, it doesnt even have dts, but it was free

So far very impressed with them, very dynamic, the high efficency helps considering the amp im using. The clarity is excellent, speech is very inteligable even at low volumes. The treble is quite forward, but thats fine by me, my hearing has been slightly marred by ear infection after ear infection so they sound pretty balanced and dont seem to suffer from simbalance.

The set did come with a KSW10, which, is surprisingly acceptible, at least untill i build my own sub down the line.

Cant see me getting rid of these.

Now, all i need is some klipschhorns for the 2 channel setup, mark me down as a convert.

**Sonnie** · **10-25-07, 01:32 AM**

I'm currently looking at some RF-82's... if I can get them at a good deal, I may pull the trigger and give them a try.

**MatrixDweller** · **11-27-07, 12:07 PM**

I've got 4 x RB-81's a RC-62 and a RW-12d. All powered by a Denon 3805 with an HD-A2 HD-DVD player.

I'm thinking about either getting 2 more 81's, a pair of RS62s or RF82's to make it 7.1 in my new HT. The RF82's would make for better 2-channel and might add a bit of oomph to the front during movies. The RS62 might fill out the side surround field better. Then again matching RB-81's all around would be nice. It's a hard decision.

**speed3** · **11-27-07, 01:13 PM**

RB 81's are nice speakers. The RF's will only increase bass output over the RB's, but the sub is handling those frequencies anyway. Have you thought instead of upgrading the sub? I've never heard much of an advantage to 7.1 over 5.1. I find that most movies that are put out are pretty weak in the rear channels anyway. That's just my opinion.
