Klipsch RF-7 III in Natural Cherry — A Discontinued Reference Flagship
This is the Natural Cherry finish of the Klipsch RF-7 III, the speaker that served as Klipsch’s flagship Reference tower before the line was retired in favor of Reference Premiere II. The Natural Cherry veneer gives it a rich, reddish-brown tone that stands out from the more common Black Ash and Walnut pairs, wrapped around the same dual 10" Cerametallic™ woofers and horn-loaded titanium tweeter that made the RF-7 III a favorite among serious listeners.
Antonio’s Pick
“Cherry is the finish we see least often on the RF-7 III, which makes sense — it was always the smaller run compared to Black Ash and Walnut. Between that and Klipsch having discontinued the model outright, this is genuinely a last-chance piece rather than a marketing line. If the reddish tone appeals to you, I’d recommend coming in sooner rather than later to see what we actually have left.” — Antonio Romeo, Owner, CapitalSound.ca
Dual 10" Cerametallic Woofers and a Titanium Compression Tweeter
The RF-7 III was Klipsch’s flagship Reference tower for a reason. Two 10" Cerametallic™ woofers with cast-aluminum baskets move a huge volume of air for effortless, room-filling bass, while the 1-3/4" titanium compression driver — loaded into a 90° x 90° Tractrix® horn — delivers the kind of dynamic, unfatiguing high end Klipsch horn speakers are known for. At 100 dB sensitivity, it plays loud and clean with far less amplifier power than most towers need.
Hand-Built in Hope, Arkansas
Every RF-7 III is designed and hand-built at Klipsch’s factory in Hope, Arkansas, and each one carries a plaque on the back hand-signed by the craftsman who built it. At just over 4 feet tall and nearly 100 lbs per speaker, this is a genuine tower speaker — plan on a second set of hands for unboxing and placement.
A Legacy Flagship — Please Read Before Ordering
The RF-7 III has been discontinued by Klipsch, which has since moved its flagship tower duties over to the Reference Premiere II lineup (including the RP-8000F II). This listing reflects Capital Sound’s remaining in-stock inventory of a genuinely excellent, sought-after speaker — but once our stock sells, we will not be able to reorder more from Klipsch. If you’re interested, please contact us to confirm current availability before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Klipsch RF-7 III still available new?
Klipsch has discontinued the RF-7 III in favor of the newer Reference Premiere II lineup. Capital Sound has limited remaining stock as an authorized Klipsch Canada dealer — contact us to confirm current availability, or ask us about Reference Premiere II alternatives like the RP-8000F II.
What pairs well with the RF-7 III for home theater?
The matching Klipsch RC-64 III center channel was designed alongside the RF-7 III for a seamless front-stage timbre match, and any Reference Premiere subwoofer — such as the RP-1600SW — adds the low end this tower doesn’t chase.
