  1. djnick, The faulty sub was set at -15 and still made the rattle, even with the Denon retarding the output by an additional -12. So, your theory in my case is incorrect. My new sub is set at 0, the Denon is set the same as before based on Audyssey, and it sounds great.
  2. [] I'm glad I'm not the only one having a hard time deciphering those posts. I've given up. Thanks for the tip regarding the edit feature. Didn't see that button... [:$]
  3. Thanks! Yours too. That "thumbs up" was supposed to be a "thumbs down" regarding the derogatory remarks in an earlier post.
  4. [N] Derogatory remarks aren't cool.
  5. Any less volume and there isn't enough bass. Setting the volume at 0 dB is not user error. Klipsch agreed that the way it was set wasn't the problem, which is why they said return it. If the replacement was going to produce the same rattle, I would have heard it already. It was instantaneous on the first one.
  6. djnick - I left the volume level on the sub's control at 0dB. Audyssey set the AVR sub level at -12. I'd rather leave the sub's control at 0, because music sounds better that way; it is just a bit much for movies.
  7. I set it up, ran Audyssey, and gave it a listen. The new subwoofer did the trick! Must have been a bad driver, as suggested by CECA. Thanks for chiming in, guys. DJNICK - I'd love to answer your question (at least I think it is a question), but I don't understand what you typed. ABT in Glenview, IL had a quick and seamless exchange process. I'm very impressed.
  8. That is correct. LFE intense scenes can be played at low volume. Just got home with the new one....off to set it up.
  9. If that were the case, I would be very disappointed in both Klipsch and the dealer. The RW-10D is brand new, and is what Klipsch matches to my front speakers (RF-52). Listening level has nothing to do with it, the woofer rattles even at lower volumes, just not as loudly. The dealer told me to bring it in for an exchange, so I'll do that this afternoon.
  10. All the screws are tight. The noise is being made by the woofer itself, not the enclosure. I narrowed it down by removing the woofer from the enclosure. It still made the slapping/rattling sound outside of the enclosure.
  11. I recently purchased the hardware in my signature. It sounds great, with one exception. The RW-10D makes an annoying rattle noise during LFE-intense movie soundtracks, such as The Dark Knight. Klipsch tech support recommended that I remove the woofer from the cabinet to get a better idea of where the noise is originating. I did just that, and it was obvious that the woofer itself is making the noise, rather than something in the cabinet. It sounds like it is slapping, or bottoming out, is about the best way I can describe it. At this point, I'm assuming it needs repair. Movies like the one mentioned above are not watchable unless I lower the bass drastically. Anyone experience something similar that can share their experience?
