The Klipsch RF-7 III speaker is a testament to the quality that Klipsch demands from each and every one of its audio products. The RF-7 III enclosure is made in the USA, by proud craftsmen in Hope, Arkansas. Just like Paul W. Klipsch (PWK) intended.
1 3 /4 Titanium Diaphragm Compression Driver
The compression driver features a phase plug design to improve phase coherency at the throat of the horn, resulting in improved sound pressure linearity at high frequencies.
90° x 90° Tractrix Horn
The Tractrix Horn utilizes a circular horn throat paired to a square horn mouth to further improve high-frequency response and extension, while enhancing imaging and dynamics. The compressed molded rubber construction adds high frequency damping to reduce harshness and improve detail. This creates the cleanest, most natural sound possible.
Spun Copper Cerametallic Woofers
Cerametallic woofers represent the pinnacle of Klipsch driver design, maintaining exceptional rigidity, and lightweight construction, for minimal cone breakup and distortion. When paired with the Tractrix horn-loaded compression driver, it provides speaker efficiency highest in its class.
Tractrix Port
Utilizing Tractrix geometry, the RF-7 III ports allow for the most efficient air transfer from the cabinet — for the cleanest, most powerful low frequency response on the market.
Dual Chambered Enclosure Design
The bifurcated enclosure allows each 10” driver and port to work independently from the other. This improves the linearity of both drive systems, and minimizes standing wave problems inside the cabinet that can cause frequency anomalies in the sensitive midrange frequencies.
Cast Frame Woofer Design
Each 10” woofer feature a heavy-duty cast aluminum frame for resonant-free operation. In addition, each woofer incorporates a dual shorting-ring magnet structure design to eliminate modulation of the magnetic flux resulting in improved linearity of cone movement. Furniture Grade Wood Veneers
RF-7 III enclosures all utilize furniture grade wood veneers, and are available in Black Ash, Cherry & Walnut.

I love these speakers, both digital and vinyl. They play both with amazing fidelity.

I am a Klipsch fan and have always dreamed of having a speaker with very high quality sound. These RF7-III's are simply delightful. They play everything from EDR to classics with ease. By accurate, I mean that they reproduce exactly what was recorded. And the "soundstage" they create is exceptional. You point to drums, guitars, bass. And forget about the subwoofer - they don't need one.
Corporate clip sound. Stylish omnivorousness (I was surprised that I really like to listen to the embibio, and not something more brutal). Great articulation. A large -scale wide and high scene.
It is advisable to put in a fairly large room for listening. Someone may not like the design (but I personally like it by 200%).
They are in the room of ~ 45m2, but it is felt that there is a power supply for significantly larger area. Comfortable volume in the region of 50%. They play 90% with Tidal from a laptop from a tsap and further on the balance of Emotiva. 10% - from TV in optics (for cinema are 100% suitable).
Nearby are Klipsch sheet - the difference in the level of them is catastrophic. And first of all, on the scale of the scene. Such a pleasant indefatigable sound (it turns out that the horn also happens to be tireless sound, and not just blood from the ears) that they often play just in the background all day. I expected a darker sound, but no - they play very light and easy.
I did not even find any slightest minuses after 2 months of listening. I am very pleased with the RF-7 III and I recommend them to everyone. Klipsch - Wang Lays!

Original reviews
Paul W. Klipsch believed four principles to be the foundation for great sound. They continue to drive the design of every new Klipsch speaker, today and tomorrow: High Efficiency / Low Distortion Klipsch horn technology is highly efficient, providing more accurate sound with less power and less distortion – resulting in louder, cleaner audio. Klipsch’s Law: Efficiency is inversely proportional to distortion. Controlled Directivity Klipsch horn technology accurately directs sound to the proper locations, which, in turn, creates a more lifelike soundstage without wasting acoustic energy where sound is not needed or desired. Wide Dynamic Range The softest sounds are reproduced with remarkable clarity and the loudest sounds are delivered without harshness or distortion – with the greatest possible range between the softest and loudest sounds. Flat Frequency Response Audio is delivered without frequency bias – no unnatural highs, mids or lows – reproducing recorded sound as accurately as possible without colorization.
