Well I ended up getting the RT-10D, had it hooked up for a day and a half now. And I just have to say thanks, It is a little more than I was planning on spending I suppose, but it ended up providing exactly what was missing. I must say I am fairly impressed with how much bass it can fill the room with from such a little package. Now to just figure out the best way to get everything setup. Ahh but I suppose thats for another thread Thanks for all of your suggestions, deffinitly got me into a sub that is a good fit for the application.

Thanks for the advice, it is kind of the route I was headed. I emailed him and said I would like to come get it. I would like to get the sub for a fair price for both of us, but you know, just but all of my other speakers so kind of cash light right now [] Thanks for the suggestions everyone, made for some good reading on frequency response and room acoustics. Im only sure if one thing so far, i havent had nearly enough time to digest it all and I will never know until i start trying stuff out. Unfourtunatly, I can allready feel my feet slipping out from under me on this oh so slippery slope to bankruptcy []

The Klipsch RT-10D sounds like a great little adventure for today. Any idea on price range I should offer? Is $650 a great deal and would offering $550 cash be rude of me [] As far as used gear, from what I can tell some of the best speakers built were designs from the 60's so why not get pickup a great deal on great gear. Thanks for the website I never would have found those on my own. Speaking of which, could somone toss together a quick list of websites I should know about for home audio. I really forgot how much I like good speakers until i heard them again [] Time to go spend some more time reading forums and looking into the sub options [:0] Thanks guys,

Well, over the holiday weekend I picked up a combo deal that included two RF-52 II, an RC-52 II, and RB-41 II speakers. Well i hooked up the center channel and the front channels tonight and I really think I need to drop the money to get a good powered sub to bring the system to life (Was hoping it wouldn't need it, but I guess I should have known better). I have two questions that i think will need some massive amounts of reading on my part but was hoping to get some help from the community here. First: I haven't hooked up the RB-41's and wont get to for a while due to a painting job bout to take place in the living room. I did notice on the specs that these speakers low end is pretty high, 85 Hz. Should Is this going to blend well with the other speakers I have? Kinda hoping to get an idea before I hook them up and am caught off guard. Second: I have been reading for hours on powered subs, and searched these forums. As of yet I haven't really found anything suggesting a good sub to match with these or similar speakers. Most of my audio experience in the past has been of the car variety and I was a bit younger and dumber. Basically I want to get a sub to really fill out the lower end and make things come to life, but I was hoping to do it for the $350 range. After looking around I'm not sure that is going to be enough and I'll just end up disappointed. I started looking at SVS cylindrical subs and was thinking their low end model for ~$700 might be more of what i need to go with. Then again i have little to no experience to lean on when making this decision. I have read in at least two different places that you should get as much sub as your budget will allow which made me lead towards the SVS sub again. Anyway I'm rambling and its late, so ill cut myself off here. Any nudges in a good direction would be greatly appreciated Some more info: Room is approximately 15x30x10 = 4500 ft^3 with a sloped ceiling and 1/2 kitchen. Onkyo TX-NR609 Receiver Don't have much space for sub, approximately 20" X 20" and can be tall (hence looking at a tube sub) Not the best first post I could have come up with, but its late and I have been reading forums for ~4 hours. [] PS, This forum is freaking awesome. Could use some stickies for new guys (or maybe I just missed them?) but I definitely wasn't expecting a community this active when I found my way here. PPS, This forum doesnt like Chrome, almost posted a giant wall of text but previewed it and noticed there was absolutely no formatting. Come back and try again with a quick copy paste using Firefox and looks like I formatted it properly. Glad i caught that this late []
