Hi Silversport, Sorry to be getting to this discussion so late, but I have to agree with most of the guys here when I say go for the Refs. I listened to the Synergys, I listened to the Refs, NO comparison. I bought Refs. The Refs just do everything better and will last longer because they are built from better components. The Refs can also do double duty for two channel music fairly well if you are like me and are having to save up for Heritage and tube amps. Also, I don't know where you are located, but I just looked at the Best Buy web site and they show a price of $402.99 ea. for the Synergys. A friend of mine just bought a pair of RF-35s for $5.98 less at a semi-local authorized dealer. Hi-end dealers (if they want to move product) will deal, Best Buy will not. I think there is a deal out there if you look hard enough.
Congrats on the Outlaw decision!!!! I run a 950/7100 combo and I could not be happier. You feed a set of Klipschs/es/'s (help me out here guys ),whether Synergy, Reference, or Heritage, 100 watts of Outlaw power and you will have one set of happy speakers on your hands and maybe not so happy everybody else. I can hit 117db in my listening position and with two windows and one door open hear it a full block or more away!
LFM-1 or RW-12, Hummmm... I don't know. I have a RW-12 and love it!!!!! But, I want to try a LFM-1 too. I am planning on getting a second sub, so let me know how it goes if you get the LFM-1. I need some positive reviews, well, that and free shipping from the outlaws! Otherwise I may get a second RW-12.
P.M. or E-mail me if you have any questions or just want to chat about Klipsch and Outlaw gear.
