I have a RW-10 sub remaining in good condition. If anyone is interested PM me.

Lucky you. I'm seriously considering selling my Klipsch system and looking for another brand. Canadians have a solid economy and there is no reason why we shouldn't be treated as part of Klipsch's majour demographic. I've had it with Klipsch. They can kiss my 5 grand good-bye.

When will the new reference line be released in Canada? I called about 4 retailers and they're all telling me they don't have a price list yet. Why does Klipsch continually treat Canada like Mexico? I'm going to start buying from another brand if this doesn't change.

I have decided I'm going to buy the RB-81 bookshelf speakers. What do you all reckon would be the best sub match for these bookshelfs, an RSW-10 or an RW-12? I've heard Klipsch retooled both these subs very recently, but what exactly have they changed? Oh, and what do you reckon I should do in the ways of a reciever? Thanks.

I will get in touch with the Klipsch dealer I was speaking to earlier and let him know about this; he told me he thoroughly researched into the case. I will see what he has to say regarding this new information I've just sent to him regarding the certification. I understand the intial post was overly aggressive, oops. @ Jay, I am sorry but I don't understand the point you are trying to make.

Well, the information in the initial post is from heresay. I was speaking to someone at a bar who owns an audio store who is an authorized Klipsch dealer. He told me that the people who do repairs for Klipsch speakers informed him that the SWS had been discontinued due to FCC disapproval. Now rest assured the one I talked to does indeed sell Klipsch products, so I suppose that the repair department is in the wrong. However, as I have not been given a reason to disclaim what he said, save for "this is completely false," which is not even a reason, I tentatively believe the FCC claim. Do not misunderstand me though, it may very well be false information; the belief is up to the individual in light of the lack of evidence.

I've been reading several people whine about Klipsch's decision to discontinue the SWS. I assure you, this was not decided on arbitrarilly: It had nothing to do with sales, production costs, limitations, or anything of that sort. Fact is, those who now have an SWS plugged-in are at risk. The FCC refused to pass the unit after a thorough inspection. Thus, Klipsch, for one reason ro another, chose not to re-design the subwoofer as to pass regulations. My guess is that a redesign would mean a loss in performance. So therefore, since the sub did not pass FCC inspection, if your SWS were ever to catch on fire you would -not- be elligible to collect insurance.

What would be a good alternative to an SWS unit in conjunction with the Pro Ultra 5.1? Keep in mind that an overly powerful sub should not be considered, but something more to the effect of Klipsch's SWS. Something from 100 to 200 watts, preferably leaning towards the former; and not one that drops too low after 60h. A sub geared for music, not film, is what I'm suggesting.

I as well am ardently looking for an SWS unit. Send an email if you are willing to sell, or know where I could get one. For the sellers, Im willing to part with $300 for a new unit.
