Klipsch 1064559 RF-7 III Floorstanding Speaker Black Ash

Early Christmas present gift to myself. Shipment came quickly packed within a larger box for protection. Upgraded to the RF7iiii from the RF3s. Photo shows side by side of the two speakers to get a feel for the size of the RF7 to include the woofers. I am happy with the increase volume and quality of the sound coming from the speakers. I can definitely hear nuances from music I did not hear previously with my hearing (in my 50s). Not too bright (some cause Klipsch) but I previously adjusted bass and treble to my liking. These are pricey lately with most companies listing at $2499 but this one was open box discount (didn’t state) but price was decently discounted well below that. Only one on hand so I order this one and a week or so later found another open box. They are heavy to lift which means they are solid. Horns are at just the right level of my theater seating. I have paired with the 504C I center and some RP600M rears. One sub is a SPL-150; second sub was a 12” Infinity that died a few years ago and have not felt the need to replace. May move the 600s to side surround replacing my Infinity RS152s and move the RF3s to rear (not enough room on the sides. A great addition and fit to my home theater. I would buy from this seller again.

Incredible. Totally worth the money. Trust me.

Badass quality sounds

I have had these for only a few days, but already I want to watch a movie every night. Previously I had a pair of RP-280F's with an RC-62 II, but replaced them with a black ash pair of RF-7 III and an RC-64 III center speaker. The 280Fs had about a year of moderate use on them and the RF-7 IIIs were fresh out of the box, but the difference is night and day. There is just so much more sound. Clean powerful sound. It is invigorating. Obviously I really like the 280Fs otherwise I would not have "upgraded" to other Klipsch products. But, in my room shape and size, they just seemed to lack something. There is nothing lacking now! Fresh out of the box they were a bit harsh, but with even just a few days that has mostly worn off. This is early days, so I will update this review in about three months with my impressions then. These are driven by a Yamaha 150W per channel HT Receiver. This was the same for the 280Fs Finish wise they are like pieces of furniture, just beautiful. The finish on the 280Fs is clearly vinyl. If Klipsch had gone with the same build as the RF-7 IIs, I would likely have chosen the Cherry finish. However, I went with Black Ash because Klipsch changed the front of the RF-7 IIIs to be black and I did not like the contrast. Warning: These are REALLY big. Make sure you have a strong marriage before dropping these in the living room.
