Klipsch RF82 - Action 2

[HiilandKew]

Omg they sound incredibly lifelike! Soundstage is wiiide.. :)

[TruKushKing]

how did you possibly get them to reflex so much? hell i turn up dubstep loud as hell shaking the walls on my rf 62s and they dont reflex that much.

[louisvl10]

@TruKushKing Search for a subwoofer test mp3 on google ;)

[dewey1100]

this is why you should never buy used speakers.

Minority Report!

[muchilus]

which crossover frequency response you set on you speakers? RF , RC, RS?

[tamboklawas]

whew!!wish i had those

[mikeb1444]

Ooooooohhhh. Oh My God! Those things are so responsive! I Must Have Some.

[derbaroper]

must be a bad audio signal if the speaker does such a extrem excursion! ... just like when you drop the needle onto the record.

[iloveaxxo]

@derbaroper, no it did the same to my wharfedales at the same time.

its a subsonic effect

[VideoPhyle]

I've had Polk systems for about 10 years and even converted the car audio to all Polk. I just recently switched to Klipsch Reference speakers and though the Polk have a warmer sound, I like Klipsche better. There is no substitute for the horn.

[Slimchaddi]

klipsch RF series are some of the best speakers you can get for both music and home theater considered their price

POLK AUDIO ALL THE WAY CHECK OUT MY VID.

[nandoGdog]

I was under the impression the the "horn" tweeter is actually a type of hybrid combining a traditional metal dome tweeter housed in a horn, as opposed to a true horn speaker such as in a megaphone.

[BlitzkriegStaffords]

Site4Animation,

I think you will find that horn LOL is actually what many Klipsch owners like. Ya know, that Klipsch sound? Also I can understand why some people describe the sound as "bright" but I wouldn't describe them as "harsh".

[cuda240]

nice system i hav rf82s rc62 and 2 rw12ds. i dont push mine that hard. they r heavy duty speakers what is ur bass setting? cool video!!! peace

[stryker7x]

wow these speakers where not design to be full range this guy needs to set the processor or receiver to 80hz not full range all you are hearing is distortion get a subwoofer to handle the 80hz and below

[whiteflame802]

the distortion you're hearing is from the camera microphone itself. these speakers are full range, ~32hz-20000hz, and you wouldn't need a subwoofer unless you had the cash to drop

[stryker7x]

well actually 32hz-20000hz is not considered full range by any meas. If the guy had enough for the RFs I'm sure he had enough for a sub. It's just that most set their crossover wrong.

[Site4Animation]

I don't get why people think it's so cool when a speaker moves. I mean, it's what they do. It's nothing special.

As stated in a comment earlier, it's not good when a speaker has to move that much. My Definitive Technology speakers (with 15" subs built into each one) BARELY move, it's almost not noticeable... BUT! They create some of the best bass you will ever hear. Extreme lows beyond belief.

Anyways, check out my video to see them. THOSE are REAL speakers. Not Klipsch junk.

[KlipschornMan]

what!? no no no dude...klipsch is actually the number 1 brand of florstanding loudspeakers there is...nothing comes close to the pure sound quality....bose isnt even half as good as klipsch is....dont call it junk!

[Site4Animation]

Bose is some of the worst junk ever... lol

Klipsch may be rated high in sales, but that's because they make low cost speakers that anyone can buy. Which is good, I suppose. But, to me they just sound too harsh. Just my opinion. If they lose the horn, and go with a traditional tweeter system, I think they would sound much better.

[KlipschornMan]

its good you agree...bose is not that brea5t if you look at them closly or listen i should say...but klipsch's higher modles that go for over 6000 a pair sound fantastic...i guess they make the more cheaper ones to spread their products further and faster.

[buurrr]

klipsch is rated by consumer reports one of the best makers for sound though...do you have poor hearing?

[Site4Animation]

You do realize Consumer Reports gets paid by these companies to say good things, right?

They also claim Bose is great.

Get it now?

[buurrr]

you do realize that Consumer Reports gather data from ....consumers....right?

[Site4Animation]

You do realize they just tell you that, right? Most of those "reviews" are bogus.

When it comes to electronics, most of that stuff is crap. Reviewed by people that have NO clue what they are talking about.

Sorry, but I have never been asked to give my opinion on anything I have purchased.

[buurrr]

then what electronics do you think are even worth anything?

[Site4Animation]

I'm not saying Klipsch is complete junk... I'm just saying that MOST of their speakers, minus the Klipshorn and higher end stuff, is overrated. They are too commercial for me. They are made for the masses.

Again, I just think that the horn needs to go. People think that because the highs are louder, and seem "crisper"... It makes it a better speaker.

They don't have a good balance, in my opinion.

[acuraRule12355]

@Site4Animation so witch would you prefer cause im upgrading to a 5.2 system from my old Mini Hifi system Im thinking about getting Klipsch Quintet 5 With the Polk Audio PSW110 Subwoofer or should i go for Polk Speakers and A Klipsch sub i want crisp clear highs and warm mids with warm punchy lows

[Site4Animation]

I would get some Polk floor speakers... Depends on how much you want to spend. Maybe some Monitor 50, 60 or 70s... Pretty nice sound, and not too expensive. They look nice too. Unless you don't want something that big... Then get the Klipsch bookshelf system.

[acuraRule12355]

well i already got some towers i got some old Vintage KLH Model 120 Towers With A 12" woofer They sound out standing i just need The Center The Backs And the Remote Cause the receiver is actually 7.2 But i don't have the room for that i cant fit more towers in there lol i need some good bookshelfs i want to spend less then 1G for the Speakers like maybe 800$ or maybe cheaper i want a system that comes in the box but its not a HITB system

[strongbad73]

Canton Home theater & Stereo speakers.

AKA ( The German loud speaker )

klipsch is good but no where near the #1 brand!

i'v never heard anything better then Canton.

[kingadaboom]

yea ive heard that over 50% of the professional theaters have klipsch in them and i dont kno of any that have bose haha may b bose is crap.

[mikeb1444]

@kingadaboom

No highs, no lows, must be Bose.

[IILDUDWEN]

@kingadaboom you are smart sir. bose is crap and not worth the money

[klipsch540]

What crossover settings? If you have a sub, you need to set the crossover setting higher. You'll have a cleaner sound and let the sub take over the lower frequencies. I have the klipsch klf20s (2 10's and horn mid and horn tweeter) The center klif7 has two 8's as do the surrounds. With a vel hgs18 sub. my crossover is set at 50hz and above

[KAISERKRAUT]

...its horribly distorted, do u not c what you are doing to the driver??speaker excursion is the last thing u want to have happen. the more a driver"moves" the more distortion it creates,idealy u would want a driver that" doesnt move at all", yet excites the air around it.This is the theory when you see home theatre set ups that have a speaker enclosure with about 30 maybe 40 drivers in it, its a line array, this enclosure deliver the best sound,mainly because the drive units move very little.

[ventilize]

fucking rich oil pigs and there money i bet that all cost like 5000 bucks

[theburgerboy]

this video made me decide to get my klipsch system about a year ago. Been worth it ever since. And yes they do not distort at all!!!! And yes they move that much and more on certain clips.

[mthemaniac]

Well technically they distort quite a bit. All speakers do. Excessive excursion certainly doesn't help any. The scary thing is that at very low frequency many highly respected woofers have very high distortion on the order of 20% to over 100%. (If the amplitude of a distortion component is greater than the fundamental, distortion is greater than 100%) Some larger DIY sub-woofers can get distortion to a few percent. Don't know of any commercial ones that can do that.

[odi22865]

i think that was AWESOME EXCURSION!!!

[FrodeFlodhest]

It's Minority Report, it even says so in the description. =P

[gh2master101]

ya seriously, take it easy on those bad boys

[raymondleeleggs]

if I had those I wouldnt have Two seperate setups for music AND movies

[DONDIVA1969]

That's the sound of a voice coil hitting the backplate.

[hyperpsyched]

amen to that... that sounded totally distorted, even considering that the sound was recorded through a cam mic.

[FrodeFlodhest]

That's not disortion. =)

It's Klipsch. It isn't for everybody. I've heard Klipsch speakers and I can only say that I think they are great. =)

They are not disorted, they are great. =)

[manetherin]

i've got their 2.1 thx computer speakers, incredible little system, the highs they pump out are so crisp and loud for their size. Had for 2 years, lots of high volume party nights to their credit. Never had any problems. No way you bought a klipsch sub for $100 bud

[rascal1964]

brand new Klipsch sub and speakers for x-mas, within 10 days the volume control shorted out,very crackly,sounds like crap!-no receipt,e-mailed factory,said they could not help me-$100 down the drain-KLIPSCH SUCKS-BAD QUALITY!

[tjtoll1]

You can't buy a Klipsch sub for $100. If you did, you bought it out of the back of a van and deserved to get ripped off.

[FreddeZomfShark]

Lol.. Rascal... If u bought them through a dealer they would have fixed everything for you.. When i delivered my klipsch ifi volume control back to klipsch, they used only like 2 weeks getting me a new one (i live in norway)..

Also klipsch kan almost play with the power that Cerwin Vega has, but the sound quality is A LOT BETTER!.. Ps, what subwoofer did you buy for 100 bucks lol.. Sounds interesting! (Btw your a liar rascal, klipsch has good customer support)

-Fred

[beastyfourpointsix]

I never feed that much bass to my RF-83's, I let my Velodyne DD-18 sub handle the dirty work.

[DjBuTzU2p3u]

SUUPPER :D

[fatsachs]

Fuck Klipsch! I got the GMX 2.1 for my computer and have had nothing but problems with them. Now theyre out of warranty and they want $75 to fix what was wrong with them while they were under warranty. I call bullshit!

[HumanTortuer]

that;s you and that model, so fuck off. Had enoughw ith you saying klipsch sucks on every single fricken video.

[kzrick188]

those things look mean =|

[tulaconalas]

whatabout the reciever,im gonna get 4 RF-82 one RC 62 center and a RSW 10D soobwoofer. the sound kick ass????

[Laofse]

Good excursion on those woofers.

[fightsong666]

you really don't know how to listen the music...

[freeman59000]

because maybe you can't undertand that the MIC of my camera can't reproduce the exact sound that i heard in reality ... it's not a vidéo to listen, in fact it's showing the woofers moving crazy on best movies ...

[Philscbx]

@FishCakeLady

Thank You YouTube for closing this account.

Remove this persons comments......

[pd251563]

@freeman59000 lol im pretty sure that was a part of the joke you idiot

[deFlow1988]

@freeman59000 i think he does now and it was just tryin to make a joke..?!

Great Setup, don't know if i should buy rf-82 or rf-62

[videoCWK]

That's because the video is being played through your Cambridge soundworks computer speakers.

[tyrell3000]

You've gone to a couple of people's videos and said the same thing. Funny.

[m4d4wc]

O.o mais sa va pas bousillé le boomer si tu fait sa ?! ya un moment ou la suspension va lâché et la membrane se déchirer, enfin je suis pas un pro mais je croi que c'est mauvais.. et aussi enleve le cache de l'autre enceinte car j'ai limpression que le boomer lui "rentre" dedans !!

[USERX15]

wow those woofers really like to boogie

[freeman59000]

sorry but i dont understand all you said (i'm french), the speakers goes well with that test, amplifier is at -15dB (Yamaha RX-V2600) sound is faboulus during the test and after the test. if you have any questions just put in !

[Vimonc]

how much is it ??

[freeman59000]

Cost about 800€ for the RF82 in Belgium and France

[habbomaffia12]

@freeman59000 i have the same for 500€ in the netherlands

[GTXElecTriC]

I don't know if it's healthy, but I get so excited whenever the cones in speakers move. Haha, I know its kind of wierd. Do the cones move like that after a break-in period, and if they do, is it safe for them to do that? Because I had a PMU 5.1 system which I cranked up, and the cones went crazy, but the next day, I learned that they had blown. Thanks for the video, and the feedback. :D I got a RF-52 HT system, btw.

[djg320]

I've seen Klipsch setups have that cone movement and more, easily, without blowing.

[raymondleeleggs]

Me too I have a thing for speaker cones too!

The more the woofers move the better :D

there is just something about thrusting speaker cones!

[freeman59000]

Hello ! This is my older system, I have to sell them but awaiting newer in few month (or years) :s

the only thing i remember that it was set by 80Hz (Yamaha default setting)

this Video is a Hard perf test, I don"t recommand to push them at this limit ;)

[EASTYJAZ34]

@GTXElecTriC cones are meant to move. its how sound is made
