Great video. I just bought these, after a break in they sound better, more dynamic with extended clean deep base. Best sound is to keep them away from walls I find. When I unpacked mine the speaker was upside down in the box with the plinth right there. Simply install the plinth or spikes while it's in the box then flip them upright, remove box, cool Klipsch idea. Great review, the speakers are exceptional.
I will get my set in August along with my RC-64 and a hole lot more gear. Will use a digitale amp 2 x 1000W in 8 Ohm. And i will use second amp for the center. So 3 x 1000 w in the front is ok for me. Did yuou notice any change in sound while using the speaker with and without the bottom plate.
@homecinemaking397 hi im not sure to get polk r700 or klipsch 8000f ii. I have a denon x1700h av reciever so I cannot add a pre amp. My reciever is 8ohms and the polk r700s need 4ohms ?
@homecinemaking397 Nice!. This was my ultimate breakdown a few months back. I choose the MA Golds in the end as I preferred the build quality, finish, ribbon tweeters, and general musicality of the Golds. The RF7s were just too big and heavy for my lounge, but definitely good for people who have a big room and want huge bass. MA's were a bit more expensive but worth the difference IMO. Made in China makes no difference to me as when you the Golds in person you know they're built to a very high standard.
@@homecinemaking397 Thanks for your response. And hello as a fellow South African. My dad has had the Forte and the Cornwall. He currently has the La Scala. He bought some 8000fs for the second system and after playing with then in our dedicated room I forgot how fun these were compared to the more serious La Scala. I would be very curious to hear the Rf7iii compared to the Cornwall as a more fun speaker.
If you want a speaker for mostly home theater or very bass heavy music, these RF7iii’s are absolute beasts and highly recommended. If you’re more into music, then other speakers are better options. I have the JBL HDI 3800’s. While they don’t have the low bass output of the RF7’s, they are better in every other way for music, especially midrange.
The rf7 does not have deeper bass than the 3800's rly. They just have more slam and are more boomy, take klipsches specs with a grain of salt, since they "lie" about their specs on all their products. They measuring "in room" on all specs. For example sensetivity is about 93db, not 100+ on paper. The 3800's go easy down to 30hz in a normal livingroom
It seems to me that all Klipsch speakers are a bit of a joke, with overblown treble range and very often with poor driver integration at the crossover, leaving a deep hole in the response which only gets worse as you go off-axis. See the upgrade and fix for this model at GR-Research here: czcams.com/video/vdKUc01yL8E/video.html&ab_channel=GR-Research and the 8000. It costs a few dollars but if you already own these speakers, doing the upgrsde is better than replacing them with anther new speaker that will also contain low quality crossover parts, and certainly better than buying another new Klipsch model.. good luck
@@BlackHeart_CZcams_Channel I still have them actually, I turned the treble down 50% on my Panasonic NC 2500 and they're still too bright, BUT, a total of maybe 10-15 songs I've collected since I bought these sound amazing, I'll admit that. In the same time I've probably collected several hundred songs that sound amazing on my old Audio Physic Virgo 2 speakers. RF7 3 is for those 5% songs that can be played on a bright speaker.

Great review! I'm seriously thinking about getting a pair of these amazing speakers!
Awesome job, damn near made me go out and get a pair.
these speakers are on another level.

I wanted these but they cost 4000€,I got the RP 8000f,and they have such good sound and the base is awesome,I can only imagine how better are the RF 7
Ja the RP8000 is still amazing but these are in a class of there own.
@@homecinemaking397 yes they are!
Nice review
Thank you
Would do great/amazing with a Marantz 8012/8015?
Correct you are👌
compare to the polk you have which one sound is better
I prefer the polk R700

Would you prefer these over the new Polk Reserve 700?
O yes👌
@@homecinemaking397 wait. Here you say you prefer the R7. Another same question you answered you prefere the r700. What now?
@@BlackHeart_CZcams_Channel no between the 8000 and R700 is prefer the R700 but if we add the RF7 into the mix its a no brainer RF7 all the way.
Ist the mk3 good for Techno ???
Hell yes👌🏻
Dynaudio Evoke 50 or Klipsch RF-7 III
For me RF7 but this will depend on personal preference.
How would you compare these to the MA Gold 300s?
This would come down to personal taste but for me RF7 all day long👌

@@4leggedfurball yes for sure the build quality of the gold is on another level. Klipsch is not known for that level of build quality.
Make a Sound Video please
I did look for round 2 under my videos
R u selling internationally?
No South Africa only
How do you find they compare to the Cornwall
As a all rounder i prefer the RF7 and for strictly music i prefer the Cornwall. But as a do it all extremely good its very hard to beat the RF7

@@zakkdraper7629 more then welcome to pop in and we can demo them side by side. I personally if i had to keep just one set it would be the RF7
@@homecinemaking397 thanks, I'll keep that in mind.
I like them but they went up a 1000 dollars.
Apparently going up another 20% month end.
what the hell is a high end budget speaker?
It is a high end speaker but at a fraction of the price of elite price bracket speakers. But it has nothing to be shy about. Makes sense?

@@chriss881000yes I haven't heard them before, but I know they are not for me since I like something more laid back with big soundstage
Horns distort sound. A megaphone is an exaggerated example. There were made 100 years ago because amps weren't powerful. Archaic technology.
Actually horns replicate the human voice etter than domes and are generally much more lively.

These are super BRIGHT and will hurt your ears. Tried multipe rooms and amplifiers, these are unpeasant to listen to.
These are the mk3. I doubt you really heart them

@@BlackHeart_CZcams_Channel ...and yes, mine are the mk3, cherry with black in the front (the mk2 I think looks better but never heard them)
Mk3 are all the opposite you describe, mk3 are great.
