    Dazed and confused

    ok, I'm buying a klisch HT and would like to know what the best speaker choice is for the fronts. I've been spinning around looking at rf-83, rf-82, rf-63, rf-7 and AAARGH. any recommendations? I'm not anxious to pay the premium on the rf-83 if improvements aren't significant (or if they are non existence).  I suppose easy question is, what's the next best thing to the rf-83?

    Welcome to the forum.

    Next best thing to the RF-83, some might say the RF-7, I only say that because I never heard the RF-7's before.  Then some say the RF-7 with the Dean upgrade is close in sound to the RF-83.

    I agree with James.  I first heard the RF-7's.  Wow, what a speaker!  Fantastic highs, incredible bass reproduction.  Very "lively" speaker.  I ended up choosing the RF-83's.  They have a more refined, smoother sound than the RF-7's.  That doesn't mean the RF-83's are better than the RF-7's, just a different sound.  Some prefer the RF-7's as they are more "in your face" speaker.  I know that probably isn't the best technical answer but I'm a simple guy with simple explanations.  LOL.  

    I cannot comment on the RF-63's.  I have heard the RF-82's and although they sound nice, I don't think they can hang with the RF-7 and RF-83 big boys.
