Trust me, I have the C-3, if you love Klipsch sound, do not get any other brand from Best Buy. Although employees are prohibited from discussing the discount with anyone other than coworkers and immediate family, that deal is an amazing benefit. The current Reference Series is only marginally better in performance and retail is slightly more expensive than the Synergy Series III. I had a choice to get either series; I chose the Synergy Series III and have no regrets whatsoever... The Synergy Series III at MSRP is a major value, but at that price point, it is a STEAL. Sincerely, Nicholas

Yes, when I have it cranked, the dishes rattle and the floor shakes...

dravencross, I currently own that system: HTR-5890BL, F-3, C-3, S-3 and Sub 12. I love my system! The HTR-5890 is full-featured and has the cleanest power Best Buy can offer. The emotion I feel when listening to this particular configuration is far greater than any I have felt with my three previous audio systems. Until I purchased this setup, I often had a serious case of "upgraditis." I was rarely satisfied with the system I had. I just wanted to let you know that this purchase meets all my needs and for once, I feel completely satisfied. Sincerely, Nicholas

The 3.5" woofers do not produce below 100 Hz for the satellites and 120 Hz for the center. The KSW 10 is designed to produce no more than 120 Hz at the maximum low-pass setting. Therefore, to reduce the loss of audible response and maximize performance, the maximum low-pass crossover setting should be selected (this can also be accomplished by activating the LFE switch). Their is no question that the KSW 10 is the right match for that setup. I highly doubt the new KSW 10 is malfunctioning, but it is a possibility. What I suggest, in addition to the crossover setting specified above, is that you: turn the gain down a little on the subwoofer, so you do not harm the driver (set to approx 3/4 level); be certain the HT receiver indicates that it is sending an LFE signal; check all DSP modes, in some cases the DSP mode is set in 2 channel, in which case the sub is not included; location could be a factor, try experimenting with the location, placing the subwoofer in different spots of the room; finally, check your inputs/outputs to determine which component is failing, try connecting the sub to the tape output or audio/video output of the receiver or any other audio divice with standard "RCA" audio outputs, if the sub does not work on any of the outputs you connect it to, you likely have an issue with the sub, if it does work, the issue is the HT receiver. Hope this helps! Any other questions, I would be more than happy to give them a shot. Sincerely, Nicholas
