I had this same problem with my speakers when I first got them. It took some troubleshooting and in my case, it happened to be that the banana plug pins weren't tight enough. I don't know if you're using them to connect the speaker wire to your receiver. If you are, I'd check to make sure everything is tight (there should be no movement in any part of the plug).

Also, where is the suggested place to shop for speakers? I usually order through Amazon, but am willing to look elsewhere for better deals.

My budget is far from unlimited - I only wish. I am comfortable spending around $14,000 - $15,000 on a new setup. When looking at the cinema setup (I'm assuming the THX Ultra2), it's not very appealing to me. On top of that, I've only had he opportunity to audition the reference line (RF7, RF 82, etc.) and know I enjoy the sound signature. Though, if the cinema speakers are hands down noticeably better, I'm willing to consider them as an option. With this information, are there any recommendations on an ideal setup including the electronics to power the speakers?

Sorry for the delayed response - I've been extremely busy lately. Regardless, I do have some great news (at least for me)! I got a pretty hefty bonus at work and am going to put that towards my HT system. I'm moving to a new place in June and have a medium-large living room to display my home theater system. The room is nearly square and is in an open space.. I'm thinking I'm going to get the SVS PB 13 Ultra as well as my first reference system! I'm wondering if the RF-7 II Home Theater System is the best system Klipsch has to offer without jumping to the Palladium line? And on top of that, is the Palladium line superior to the RF line? As stated earlier, this will mainly be used for home theater, but I do also like to listen to music. Would it be logical to use the RF-7 II's as a 2 channel setup when I'm not using the HT setup? And any recommendations on separates (or dare I say an AVR) to power this system and have the ability to switch between 5.1 and 2 channel, giving the listening situation? I'm pretty partial to Marantz because that's what I currently have now and what my father had growing up. I am though, open to suggestions. Thanks!

I don't want to say my budget is unlimited for a sub, but I'm open to spending up to $3000 now to upgrade my system or start piecing together another system. I guess I'm looking best bang for buck when it comes to a sub. Surely a more expensive sub may have better specs, but the price difference between multiple subs needs to be justified IMO. So with this information, suggestions?

Okay. Seems like yhr consensus is a new sub. I'll keep my current sub for when we move the system to the bedroom. Keeping in mind I'll be upgrading to the RF 7 line, what are some sub recommendations? I've heard good things about SVS. Any specific models of subs I should pair with my system?

I do agree that the bookshelf speakers would be perfect for the bedroom. As far as the reference towers go, should I go all out and pick up a pair of the RF 7 ii's (which would prevent future tower upgrades - or would it?) or would I be satisfied with the 82's or 62's? I'm about 50/50 music and movies.

Or will adding the WF-35's be a better option?

Will something like this work for the two sub setup? http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10218&cs_id=1021815&p_id=5611&seq=1&format=2

Please excuse my inexperience with terminology. Could you please explain what "3db's" is? Decibels?

I like this idea. Do you think if I add another HSU SFT-1 to my system, it will overpower my bookshelf setup? What gains will I see from this - more rumble in the jungle? EDIT: What about adding 2 more WB14's for a 7.1 system? Good idea? I can't seem to find anymore new WF-35's (newegg is sold out and everywhere else is overpriced).

HT upgrades?

I put your advice into action and after a few hours of cleaning up, moving stuff around, and managing cables, this is the end result. Enjoy!

You're awesome! Thanks so much for the recommendation on the sub and advice on my setup.

just to clarify, move the 2 front and 1 center speaker as close as I can to the front of the tv stand, flush if possible? I appreciate any friendly advice. This is my first speaker system (except for a crappy bose 2.1 system I had with my computer back in the day).
