I voted on the way into work. It's a great excuse to straggle in late. Carl

It really depends on the size of your room. If you have a huge room that would max out the ultra than 2 of +'s would be the way to go. If your room is of the size that 1 sub would handle, than go for the ultra. Have you e-mailed SVS with your room dimensions and openings? They are usually spot on with their recommendations. Carl

I don't know how much money you are about to spend, but you may want to keep the 25's and put the money toward a sub. Carl

Great, keep us posted. Carl

Did you make a decision yet Killerbee? Carl

There is currently a similar thread in the Home Theater section that may relate. Carl

My AVR-7200 went out 2 nights ago. on the bright side it is only 11 months old. The bad part (which is really what you are after) is that it took me over 3 hours to get it out of the cabinets it is in. It's so big it had to go in from the back. You will also be pleased to know that the closest repair facility is a little over 100 miles away. Carl

You will learn more about the capabilities of your system if you do it yourself. It will be frustrating at first, but well worth it in the long run. This is a great forum for help as is hometheaterspot. Both forums have very helpful members. I think it is safe to say that this forum's average HT IQ is several points above your average installers'. Good luck, Carl

Compliments instead of flames, thanks Bruins and Underhanded....... Carl

I have found that an SPL meter and a test disc are great for a base line starting point. After callibrating, I still find myself using a different gain for music and HT. Music having slightly less gain than HT. I also found that using a meter and a test tone disc is invaluable if you are e-qing to remedy room response. The only method I have found for setting phase that I consistantly like is my ears. I've used Avia to set phase, but I always end up tweaking it for some reason when I'm done. Carl

I'm sure I'll catch some flack on this but........ For music, to me it is more important to have the sub set up correctly than the brand. To me, once you cross the $1000.00 threshold, you are getting a pretty decent sub no matter what the brand. The musicality and speed are very much dependant upon location and phase setting. A $2000.00 sub that is not callibrated correctly sounds worse than a $1000.00 sub set up right. The canned answers that you are looking for are that the Klipsch subs have more slam and the SVS subs dig deeper and have a flatter response. I'll head for cover now. Carl

You may get a quicker response in the 2 channel section. Carl

I've owned the RW-12 and didn't get that "punch you in the gut" feeling either. I don't think you can at that price point for a retailed sub when used in a moderate to decent sized listening room. Carl

It may be just me, but typically people that conduct polls ask a question and tabulate scores. Not wait for an answer and try to change your mind. Carl. Sorry to hear about the bee in your bonnet.

Then the Rules, Policies and Disclaimer page should reflect the fact that other brands should not be discussed. Everyone is playing by the rules. If Klipsch feels that a thread is inappropriate, they have the right to delete the post or possibly ban the poster. It seems that Klipsch does at times monitor these posts and lets them exist as is. I don't think that anyone is intentionally trying to hurt anyone's feelings, merely sharing whatever information they have. Carl

Should the 2 Channel Audio forum only refer to Aragon electronics? Seems like a slippery slope there. Carl

Any time I ever post about a sub, I always comment about how much I love my Klipsch speakers (I do own a brand X sub and have owned a Klipsch sub). This is an open forum for Klipsch enthusiasts to share thoughts on most things audio. Will there next be a similar comment on other threads about not talking about electronics other than Aragon? I think if Klipsch is scared about loosing their market share of sub sales, they need to take a long hard look at the competition and adjust their product/price/marketing strategies accordingly instead of trying to censor threads or opinions. That being said, If non brand equipment needs to be removed from my sig. or from my comments I will abide by the forum rules. I however think that Klipsch is missing the point. And yes, I LOVE my Klipsch speakers! Carl

I got my RF-7's at a B&M store for $1400.00 plus tax. I can't think of a better value off the top of my head. Shop, shop, shop. I love their sound and couldn't imagine what I would rather have at their price point. Carl

If the audio store he takes pics in doesn't carry SVS, how can he prove he "has" one? ---------------- I allmost blew my drink out of my nose on that one Carl

According to the Ref-5 owners manual, bi-wiring is recommended as it gives improved bass response, imaging and detail. As 16 guage is the minimum thickness to drive those speakers, doubling it may help improve their performance. If Klipsch says it, it must be so? No? Carl

What guage were your wires in your original set up, and how long was the run? Did you change wire brands or just double what you originally had? Carl

If you don't get any response here, try the Hometheaterspot. There is an SVS site there. A lot of the guys own or have heard the Ultra. It is supposed to be a better sub than my PB2+ but your getting into the law of diminishing returns at that point. If you can afford it, go for it, but if you settle for the PB2+ (hard to think that it would be considered "settling")I can't see where you would ever be disapointed. Carl.

Check under the Reference section and go to the RVX54 page. Are those what you are talking about? Carl
