    The test Movies so far...

    Jurassic Park, Iron Man, Dark Knight

    I've listend to just about every CD I own (not in their entirity).

    I love these speakers. The RF-7's are Crystal clear, they go low quite nicely. Obviously not low enough to not need a sub, but still they do a descent job. Imaging even in the far from perfect setting that they are in is very very good same with the sound stage.

    The RC-7 is as many have said before, an amazing center channel. It impressivly hangs with the RF-7's all day even when set to LARGE.

    As for the RB-5. Doing an A/B compare with the RF-7's. The RB's are definatly more effecient obvioulsy. But I'd say that they sound *** near as good as the RF7's in the mid to upper ranges and in the lower end like a smaller RF7.  A/b Comparison with the SB-3's sitting between the RC and RF reveiled that they have a much much fuller midrange/middbass, cleaner high's and significantly better bass. I was suprised that they are practicaly the same size. 

    As far as Harshness... The only time I notice it is when i am sitting at my computer listening to music...  As you can see in the 1st picture, where I am standing (which you cant see) is where my computer is. 6 feet to my left about 2 inches up is the horn on my RF7......

    Just yesterday i went to a local independantly owned hgih end A/V store and listend to some subs. while listening to subs there were some 700$ B&W's Playing (each). Not only are my RF-7's twice the man (2x bigger) than the B&W, they sounded better I M O.  that changed however when I took a listen to the 14,000$ B&W's. yum. Back on topic however. It made me think again how awesome it was that I got not only the RF7's that own those B&W's for the price of the B&W's, but I got (2)RB-5 and (1)RC-7 for free :)

    I love these speakers and THAT my friends, is all I have to say about that. for now.

    Disaster strikes : /

     I cant say this hasnt been there from the begining because quite honestly i havent been pushing these speakers all that hard.

    I was just listening to one of my Focal test CD's, a track with a drum solo. I had it turned up and i started noticing somthing, odd... coming from my left RF-7. upon closer inspection with my ear. It its a crackly sound..... I'm thinking blown?

    I did have the bass turned up +4 on the reciever and had the tracking playing fairly loud. It does have a good amount of bass from the kickdrum as well. They are set to Large to. I just dont believe that, THAT blew 1 of the 10"ers....

    Thoughts?

    Tomorrow I'll be disecting that speaker to see whats up, and i'll test the driver independantly.... I just dont feel like doing it right now, i got work in the morning.

    why must you all be sleeping. Wake up!

    To add to waht i said earlier, to further paint the picture...   It continued to happen even after i turned the volume down and changed songs. And it is just that left speaker, top 10".

    I have since unhooked the RF7's and am using the RB5's in Stereo.
