Thanks for the reply, I finally got around to take picture of my current setup's positions.. I did pretty much exactly what you suggested in the first place, the autosetup result is +8db for the SW. The TV is about 14' from the sofa and the surrounds are about another 3' back from the sofa, as you can see, I don't have anywhere else I can think of to place the SW.. The cabinet to the left is supposed to act as a wall so that the bass can reflect from the SW? Right now, with the SW set at 0db, the bass is good *if* I'm standing right in front of the SW, but at seating position, for some reason the bass is loss and I just don't feel much of the punch or hums... Any ideas?? Thanks!

Hi guys, I'm new to the world of Klipsch and fairly new to HT as well. I recently purchased the following setup: Marantz SR7002, RF-62, RC-62, RS-42 and RW-10d I run autosetup on the Marantz and have Audyssey EQ turned on... My problem is the sound isn't really want I've expected, I can't really tell the presence of the surrounds and the bass seem lacking the punch needed... I never demo the RF-62/RC-62 but I did demo the RF-64 and RC-64 and I bet that's one of the reason why I think I have a problem Anyway, my question is, I read somewhere that all speakers should be set to "small" when there is a sub. But having it set at "small" meaning no bass coming out from the RF-62, would I be better off to have bass from both the RF-62 and the sub? And I'm using PS3 as the BD player, there doesn't seem to be much option for surround mode on the 7002 when playing PS3 BD, only THX Auto and THX Cinema, is this correct? The RW-10d lowpass should be set to LFE correct? And is there any special reason why most of the pictures I see here, people leave their speaker cover off? Is it just for show or there're reasons behind it? Thanks!

I've been out of the loop for a while now and recently start looking at HT for my new home. The TV room size is approx. 14' x 17' but with the sofa set at 14' from the TV instead of 17'. I first wanted to get the RB-51 set, but went to the dealer showroom and all they've got were the RF-62 and RF-63, I tested both the RF-62 with RC-62 and the RF-63 with RC-64... HUGH mistake Now nothing seems right, this has been the case for couple of weeks and I really couldn't make up my mind. And for whatever reason, I guess I'm getting a bit frustrated.. I somehow let the sales person talk me into placing my order for the following today: RF-62, RC-62, RS-42 and RW-10d.. I know this is NOT the recommended setup and I have no idea why I went with these, do you think it will be decent or should I go back and change it back to RS-52 and RW-12d? I believe there's a good $400 or so difference? I paid $2,250 for the above and they're having special on the Marantz SR7002SL for $725 Are these prices ok, will the Marantz match this setup? I'd say it will be 80% movies and 10% games and 10% music, thanks!!
