mpbojangles,

The RF-7s have been discontinued for some time. I hope you are looking at these as new speakers at a retail store. They run about $800 used online.

I've had RF-5's as part of a surround sound setup in my home and liked them plenty (I still have the RB-5 rears). From what I heard in the store of their newer slim, plastic-front designs like the RF-82s, I was not impressed with. I would take the older, heavier RF-7s, especially if your music tastes are along pop/rock lines.
