I like the box look because it's more traditional, but I don't like the fact that it weighs 190 pounds.

I know my situation may seem like nit-picking, but I can't decided which would be better... 2 SVS CS-Ultra cylinder subs connected to a single 1000 watts RMS amp, or one SVS PB12-Ultra/2? I know both of these subs employ the same TV-12 Ultra drivers, but I can't make up my mind as to which setup would yield the greatest output with the flattest frequency response. I would use the sub(s) almost exclusively for music. Both setups are nearly identical in price, and I know either one would sound amazing. Any advice?

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but would this be a good amplifier or is it overkill for these speakers? What would be a good amp to go along a pair of RF-5 or RF-7's?

CECAA850, you said in another post that you have both of these subs. How much better is the PB12 Plus/2 than the PC Ultra? I know the PC Ultra has a superior driver... does it really make a difference in quality of bass or is it just superior in terms of SPL output? Any comments by other experts here are very welcomed.

Which of these two subs should I get? I know their performance is probably nearly identical but the CS-Ultra is $150 more and comes with an external amp. The PC-Ultra of course has a built in amp that employs BASH technology (if that matters at all), and is supposedly designed just for that sub. It also has a built in equalizer and looks like it has more features than the Samson S-1000 amp that comes with the CS-Ultra package. So which one, PC-Utra or CS-Ultra?

What is the difference between a sealed subwoofer and a ported one? Ported subwoofers have better extension right? What exactly is extension?

I am planning on buying a two-channel system that I will later expand to a 5.1 home theatre system. I want to start of with two RF-35 for fronts and the Dayton Titanic III 15" subwoofer kit for my sub. I need help in choosing a receiver though. I don't really like Sony and have been looking at some Yamaha. I'm looking to spend between $500 and $800 for a receiver. The most I will ever use is 6 channels (5.1) but I want at least 100 wpc and of course a low-distortion, clean as possible signal going to my speakers. I don't care much for the decoding abilities. I just want something that will give me plenty of good clean power. Thanks in advance.

I'm probably going to go with the Titatinc 15" Kit. Should be fun to build a sub and save some money in the process. Also, I stated earlier that I would most likely choose the Synergy F-3 floorstanding speakers. Well, after some thought I can't decide if it would really be worth it to go with the RF-35 instead. They are of course Klipsch's reference line speakers and are only $100 more retail than the Synergy F-3. I know the F-3 have betters specs on paper, but the RF-35 are made with better quality components and are of course more prestigious and solid than the F-3. Should I just stick with the RF-35 and avoid any future "what if" or are the F-3 a better value?

I think I'm going to go for the Titanic Kit.

What sub should I buy? I'm looking in the $600 to $700 range. At first I was thinking of getting a Klipsch RW-12 but by looking around these forums I stumbled onto the 15" TITANIC MKIII SUBWOOFER KIT. Its only slightly more expensive than the RW-12 and it appears to be better performing. Also, I read that SVS has the best price/performance ratio for subwoofers. What sub should I buy? I'm probably going to buy the Klipsch Synergy F-3 floorstanding speakers as they seem to be sufficient for my needs and don't cost too much. Thanks for any help.
