Best speakers I've ever purchased!

I purchased these (and the RF-64III center) after hours and hours of research on different speaker brands. I debated about the highly acclaimed Klipsch 8000f instead of these but there isn't much difference in physical size (weight is a different story!!). I could not listen to them beforehand so I had to rely on other reviewer and dealer opinions. I could not find a bad review about the RF7III other than price so I pulled the trigger and went big. They are monster sized and weigh 100 lbs each, so be prepared for a workout! The sound is so impressive that I find myself listening to music for hours at time which has not been my practice previous. The detail in the music is alarming compared to what I was getting before. I'm hearing so many things in music that I never heard before! It's like rediscovering your music all over again. Bass is crisp, punchy and I don't know if I really need my subwoofer anymore? My wife (who could care less about speakers) said smiling, "these are so clear I can hear people walking in the background on my show, it's like being in the movies!" She has never commented on any of my speaker purchases before other than if they were pretty. Never having had Klipsch speakers before I figured it was time and now I have probably bought my last set of speakers. Another benefit is how efficient they are even at low volume. My receiver (Onkyo RZ820) can be turned down about 10db (on my readout) to be at the same volume as my old speakers (Goldenear Triton 3). I guess I should list the speakers I have previously had so there is a frame of reference to my opinion: Polk LSiM 703, Def Tech Mythos ST, Goldenear Triton 3. All of these speakers were good but not at the RF7III level, at least to my listening preference. I'm not an audiophile but I do know what I like and this is it!! I wish I would have tried Klipsch years ago. If you can swing the price for these you will not be disappointed!!
Pros: - Build quality, - Truly impressive sound
Cons: - super cheap stick on small rubber feet!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Sound with Emotion

Speakers are currently part of a 7.1 setup front (L/C/R), surround, surround back and subwoofer - all Klipsch. Fronts are RF-7IIIs (bi-amped), center is a Synergy C-3, Surrounds are my former fronts (Synergy F-3s), Surround back (Synergy S-3s), and the subwoofer is a RW-12D. AVR is an Onkyo TX-RZ1100. When listening to music I am generally using Amazon Music HD, sending 24bit 192KHz PCM audio over HDMI to the receiver. Listening in 2.1 mode. I am certain that everyone will compliment these speakers for the thunderous low end, but what I love the most is the detail and balance - clarity across the whole range. The horns provide vibrant highs/mids and the 10s provide a depth to music I have heretofore not experienced. Flat out the most amazing thing next to live music. From classical to jazz to rock, hip/hop, and EDM these speakers handle it all with aplomb. Want some good examples. Listen to some of these to really gain an appreciation: Muddy Waters - My Home is in the Delta Etta James - At Last Fleetwood Mac - Landslide Neil Young - Old Man Pearl Jam - Yellow Leadbetter Counting Crows - Omaha The White Buffalo - House of the Rising Sun Red Hot Chili Peppers - Dark Necessities Disturbed - The Sound of Silence Beastie Boys - Brass Monkey Buena Vista Social Club - Chan Chan Rogues - Queen of Lost Scots The Moog - These City Lights From amazing vocal depth to detailed instrumentation - just all around amazing. I could add many more to this list. Have tested a few movies so far, but a few of my favorites are Transformers, The Matrix, Wall-E, and Saving Private Ryan. Bottom line, I always look forward to firing these up and just immersing myself in the audio.
Pros: Clean, balanced full range, Equally adept at music, movie, and TV listening, Well balanced bass even at lower volume listenin

Awesome Speakers!

What great speakers! I probably can't say enough great things about these speakers but I will try: - They sound incredible at all volumes. I mostly listen to rock and roll on vinyl, CD, and Bluetooth through my CD player (Oppo 205). I am pushing them with a MAC6700 at 200 watts per channel RMS. They also serve as right and left main channels in my surround sound. - They are super efficient, but have handled any amount of power I have thrown at them. I can't imagine even needing more power, but I am sure they could handle it. If you had a 35 watt tube amp these would sound great and still get loud thanks to their efficiency. Even at ear bleeding volumes they sound clear, too (I put in ear plugs and verified this!) When I turn the volume up in the living room, the sound fills the lower level of my house with clear music. - At low volume, the clarity is amazing. Things that used to sound like whispers on tracks are clear voices (like at the end of Sublime's "What I got" and on multiple Pink Floyd recordings). - Great bass! With my old system (now in the basement) I was running two Klipsch KSW10 subwoofers. Those subs sounded great, but they weren't needed with these speakers. The bass seems to be sensitive to speaker placement - probably because of the rear port. But I spent a little time and found the sweet spot for my room (I don't see this as a negative, all speaker placements should be room and speaker specific). In my room they liked a little distance to the back wall - at about 18 inches the bass really filled my room. No subs needed! - They look great - I usually keep the grills on because I have them around the TV, and having the copper woofers exposed is actually distracting. Having the all black fronts make them disappear when you are watching TV in a dark room. I would buy these again in a heartbeat.

These speakers are phenomenal. Tell me the Heiser crisp and clean the mids are smooth and warm and the lows are outstanding very little power needed to run them and get incredible sound from them but at a premium amplifier and it's like turbocharging and supercharging your Ferrari. They hang with speakers three times their price range. You can enjoy these things for hours with no fatigue.

I’ve had these for a while. They’re not completely broken in. They’re absolutely beautiful and the sound is outstanding. Against some audio files advice I paired them with a pair of 8000 mark twos Where one loses the other picks up the sound is enough to put you in a trance There’s nothing more Americano Than Klipsch In my opinion

My search is over.

I have had these about 8 months and continue to be amazed. I have had a variety of speakers for different applications over the years from us and international brands. Home stereo/theater, studio, professional, and car audio applications. Reference and non-reference systems, vintage and newer. I still use favorite examples from brands including Cerwin-Vega, BOSE, Elac, SONY, Realistic, Yamaha, JBL, Peavey and SVS. These RF-7 III speakers are something special even among Klipsch and deeply satisfying to me.
