Know before you buy

Yes, the RF-7 III features dual binding posts that support both bi-amping and bi-wiring, allowing you to separate the high and low-frequency signals for potentially cleaner performance.
Given their size and dual 10-inch woofers, these speakers are best suited for medium to large listening spaces. They are powerful floorstanders that require enough room to properly project their soundstage.
The speakers come with hardware that allows you to securely place them on both carpet and hard floor surfaces, ensuring stability and proper acoustic decoupling.
The magnetic grilles provide a clean, seamless aesthetic when attached, as there are no visible mounting holes or pegs. They are easily removable if you prefer the look of the exposed copper woofers.
