Just got my HD TV and am working on the final calibration of my components. Should low pass be enabled or disabled (LFE mode). I have it hooked up to a Pioneer Elite VSX-47TX and a set of RC-25's with matching surrounds and center. Thanks for the help.............. Nik

Looking for ideas on how to mount my RC25 Center over a flat panel TV. Most likely the TV will be a DLP or LCD projection. The problem is that the TV is too thin and there is a 36"w by 42"t window behind where the TV will be. I have looked around at all the stores and checked Omnimount but can't seem to find anything that would work well. Anybody have any ideas?

I was discussing the problem with a rep at Tweeter yesterday and he suggested I check the rating on my main fusebox. Sure enough, the gameroom and upstairs fuses are rated at 15 and the rest of the house at 20. Any electricians out there? Seems the rating would just be the level where the fuse "pops" and have no relevance to the c urrent going through the line.

Started thinking along the separate circuit lines after I posted my initial note. Checked the fusebox and turned off the breaker to the gameroom. Found that a pluc on the other side of a shared wall was still "hot". Will get an extension cord this weekend when the wife is away and see if I see the same problem. If so I'll just get me a Honda generator and put it in the attic.................I won't be denied!!

Ok, so I knew my RSW-12 was a great sub but I had no idea it drew so much current. I purchased a Panamax 5300 power conditioner/surge protector hoping for lilttle peace of mind. I was watching the pod races on Star Wars and there was a section where the sub really hit and the Panamax shut down my system. Seems undervoltage conditions can be just as damaging as voltage spites. While the Panamax did do it's job I am dismayed that I can't crank the Elite VSX-47TX past -6. Maybe it's just that one DVD but I was wondering if anybody else had experienced the same problem. My house is 3 years old and the wiring shows no faults. When the sub really pounds one out the lights flicker (if they are on) and the voltage needle really starts dancing. About all I can think to do is get that hi $ Monster Power unit or have an electrician run power directly from the fuse box. Maybe all I really need is a voltage regulator with some capacitors to store the electricity for immediate access. The speakers are the RF-25's with matching center and surrounds. Surely Radio Shack can bail me out!!!!! Anyway, the Home Theater store is checking into it for me and said they would take care of me. Anybody have any ideas/input? I have searched various strings but no mention of this problem. Thanks

Sounds like the line conditioner will be a good idea. The Monster gets mixed review on audioreview.com. Anybody ever tried Panamax? The Home Theater store her in big D uses them. Will definately ck out the triplite on E-Bay idea.

Have been tinkering still with my new RSW-12. I can't believe how good it is!! Finally have all the speakers set to large and set the sub to plus. What a difference. Makes me wonder what else can be done. Think it's time for a trip to Radio Shack for a meter.

I was looking for a surge prtotector for my new system and have found that there are more options than I was aware of. These voltage stabilizers and powercenters can get pretty pricey but may be worth it if they do all they say they will. I have noticed my lights dim when I crank up my system and I they really flicker when the RSW-12 kicks in. Any thoughts?

Well I sure thought the auto set would work better but in reality I can set it by ear once I get close enough. Might go for the meter anyway-where can I pick one up? Other than that, I need to figure out the relationship between the DV-45A DVD player and the 47THX receiver. I need to read the manuals, I am not used to so many formats and don't know what is what. NEO-6?? Whatever happened to plain on Dolby Digital and DTS? Guess I am just used to my old receiver.....Just cranked up the MATRIX for the 50th but really the 1st time. Can't believe all the detail I missed for so long.

Got the RSW-12 yesterday. Had to set my RF-25's to small to get it to kick in but works like a champ. Also, the autosetup function on my Pioneer Elite VSX47 set the sub too far away so I had to adjust that. Much fun plaiying with my new toys. So many sound formats and so little time!!!

Will do, thanks. I am definately not an audiophile but I do know who to ask. Now I'm considering the SVS PB2. It's in a similar price range and looks like a better performer. Seems like the postings indicate the RSW-12 is more musical. Anyway, I will continue to ck the postings til I make up my mind. Looks like the SVS is backordered anyway.

I recently purchased a set of RF-25's with matching surrounds to go with my Pioneer Elite VSX-47TX. I wanted to hold off on the sub-woofer but can wait no longer. My room is 12 x 14 and I am considering the RSW-12 but don't want to overpower the speakers. When I check the Klipsch web sight they suggest pairing these speakers with the new RW-10. Does that sub better match the speakers? Or, is it just a matter of price/performance. I plan to get the RSW 12 if it can be dialed into this system as I would rather have too much than not enough.
