Just to round-trip my original post, I ended up going with the PB12-ISD with a discount on the B-side. I dropped a note to Ron & Erik @ SVS, and they responded back within the hour with some recommendations. We essentially dialed it in on the PB12-ISD, which should easily supplement what my Forte's cannot dig low enough for.

THB: Have you taken a look at the Stewart Firehawk or Greyhawk screens? If not, you need to check them out. I've just purchased a 92" Stewart Firehawk Luxus Deluxe for my basement that will be coupled with an InFocus 7205. I know of at least two places on-line wherein a 92" can be acquired for $1300 and change.

Trawling for another Academy taker, Coyotee? For the record, that should be "privilege".

Or perhaps the PB10-ISD? The price is certainly right, but would it be a poor choice compared to the PB12 or 25-31pci? With the Forte's, I really just need to bolster the very low end.

Which to choose? I'm deploying into a Klipsch Forte/Academy configuration in a 19'x16' HT room. Opinions?

I'll let know, especially if I DON'T like them. I was originally looking for RS-3's, but these popped-up and I couldn't refuse the deal. I hope they work out, but I'll sell/trade if I don't like them.

Okay, cool. $350 used, fine shape by all accounts. Fair? I just want to be sure they sound good with the Forte's & Academy.

I currently have a pair of Klipsch Forte's and an Academy that I plan to deploy into a new HT, and have been searching for decent surrounds to match with what I've currently got. I will be pushing everything with a HK AVR435, and my room is roughly 16x19. I recently stumbled upon a pair of KS-525's, and wonder if anyone else has any experience with these speakers. More importantly, does anyone have an opinion as to how they might perform with my current setup? I can always get rid of them for something else, but the deal was too good to pass up. Any thoughts or opinions?

I actually won a KV-4 on eBay recently, just before I was able stumble upon an Academy (my first choice) as a match for my Forte's. I've not yet recieved it yet and am not sure if I will be using it or not in my 7.1 setup. If you're interested, I can let you know when it arrives, what condition it is in, and we can discuss potential arrangements. Up to you.

Colin: I have no clue what the frequency response is (currently rough-framed), and my budget is <$500. Can I DIY and get a better bang/buck than the SVS PB-10?

Thanks for the feedback, guys (especially chuck). I'm leaning more and more toward the SVS subs, although the PC-Ultra is a bit out of my comfort zone. I was thinking more along the lines of their entry-level PB10-ISD box (<$500), although I have no idea if it will fill my 19x16 room adequately. I have a feeling the Forte's will do quite well on their own, but I really want a good sub to handle the really deep, dedicated stuff. Any opinion on the PB10-ISD in my setup with the Forte's?

Hi guys: Any advice or experience on what sub would be a good candidate to match with a pair of Forte's and an Academy center for HT? My room will be 19'x16' with a 9' ceiling. I'm finding a fair number of people suggesting SVS, but I want to be sure I make a wise decision here. Thanks in advance.

Not sure if this one is up to your standards, but you might consider this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=3276&item=5757916240&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW No clue how it would match with your Chorus II's, but I'm hearing a fair number of folks that say it makes a great center for Forte's & the like...the price is right.

Lemme ask you guys something; would the RS-25 be a crappy choice for surrounds in my situation? I like the dipole profile and keyhole mount already built-in, but am concerned that they'll suck as much as the RC-25 would when matched with my Forte's. I've heard people say that the surrounds don't matter nearly as much as the center, and others suggest that they are almost as important. I like the size/profile of the RS-25's, but if the KG1 is a far superior choice, then I'll just find a way to make them work somehow (mount-wise).

Coyotee: Okay, I just put 2+2 together. Here's to hoping you get $675..just don't piss of e-Bay again.
