agreed

I listen to a Khorn theater often enough, and I'll agree with you. I haven't heard CornScalas, but likely the same is true. Between the three options I bet other variables are more deciding than the speakers themselves.

I would love to hear cornscalas.

Ya know yer not That Far from AR ...
I would @ least drive over & hear them before you drop a wad on any new RF7II's , if you are thinking about an upgrade
Best part, knowing your skill set on wood working you could have any finish you wanted .

Nezff you are looking at getting RF7ii?

Yeah, depends on where in Arkansas


I thought about it a while back. I might be doing something custom before the years end.

Ah ok. Well if you would like some ill sell you mine and the 64ii. I'm 90% about to go cornscala the other 10% will be decided when I go listen to them

Bob Crites is in Russellville AR & I know he does welcome test listening ,in his shop
Pm if you want his phone # ,
Me I'm in the SF bay area, 20 minutes north of the Golden Gate Bridge

One of the reasons I didnt got that route was because with custom, you can get more for your money. I already have a drawing of what they will look like.

The other reason was because the new center wont fit in my stand. it is wider.

I gotta go through texarkana to get there. lol

Its about 6.5 hours to there.

Hell if you actually want to go ill ride with you. I'm going after Christmas.

when you plan on taking the trip

I had that problem as well best part of the CS.1's is you can tweak the size of the cabinet to fit as I did (as long as the cubic volume stays the same ),when I build my 1st CS-1 center
the CS-1 & CS-1.5's make a great center for Cornscala's (the 15" woofer is not needed for a center channel )

I don't know. I emailed him. Going to see what he has in his shop to listen to.

where is your build thread at klipsch. I was looking for it.

Which is the "why"?

Why 62II is different, or why the crossover for the woofers?

I wasn't aware they changed it between the 62 and 62II.

They aren't really set up for one driver to handle part of the range and the other driver the rest. One driver is filtered above around 1150Hz so that only the other driver is outputing. Below this, both contribute equally. They had found that above about 1150Hz up to the horn crossover, off-axis response suffered because both drivers were cancelling each-other. With only 1 driver above 1150Hz, they eliminated this phase cancellation. Play a test tone and put your forehead in the horn. You'll only hear sound from one side.

I don't know specifically how they eliminated the problem with the 62II to not require the filter on one driver. I guess the "enhanced" crossover design at 1500 instead of 16-something somehow fixed it.

Thanks

So you're saying that if you heard speakers that sounded better than yours you would sell yours? (lol) Sorry that doesn't make sense slappy. My friend bought a new car and it's very nice. But I'm not selling my car anytime soon just because I drove his and its better than mine.

You had to know I was going to say something to that.

No kidding..you know, there are better speakers than Klipsch....so I guess once you hear them, you'll be asking for a second mortgage on your home!

gotta know your limits.

I like oranges better than apples ? L O L ......
Yeah Nezff is right know your limits , I'm Just happy I can do woodwork as it has expanded my limits .

that wasnt directed at you mike.

I know that !

Really impressed so far with the rf82ii and rc62II combo.

to be honest, when I moved from the RC62 to the RC64, I didnt notice a HUGE difference. It was there, just subtle.

Really??? Man I did!

I'm real impressed with the RC62. It just seems bigger than it is, and it hangs in there well.

Like I said, there was a difference, but not night and day with normal listening.

At some point the increase is bound to be small jumps. Now going from a procenter 2000 to the 62, huge.
