Anyone using Sewell Premium 45° Spade Plug Connector? .............................. http://www.amazon.com/Sewell-Premium-Spade-Connector-Pieces/dp/B0050C6KUC/ref=sr_1_8?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1315801013&sr=1-8 ................................... Banana plugs seem to stick out at a weird angle. These look like a better option. Any thoughts?

After having these for a few days I would defiantly recommend these. They came in perfect condition through UPS from newegg. I can see why some people complain about the speaker grills. The pegs look very weak. It would not take much to snap one off. Two of these have more than enough bass (room is 13x35). Rattles the windows upstairs on half volume. The only problem is the sub magnets affected my old TV (color shift). I tried some DIY shielding but it did not work. So I had to put them behind my couch. No big deal seems to sound the same.

I have basically zero experience with subs but within the last week I just got two RW-12d's. After 20 years of running a Pro Logic 4.0 system I am not sure why I thought I was missing anything? Can't wait for the 9.1. These add a whole new dimension to my system. These are in a room that is about 13 x 35. So far I have to say they could easily be overwhelming. They have more than enough power for the whole neighborhood:-) I have these hooked up through the high level input. I had the sub volume at about 3/4 and the amp at about 1/2 ( more than I ever would need) and it was making the dishes and windows vibrate upstairs. And still had plenty more power. So far I am happy with these.

By using this tape A output would it still be a good idea to use a splitter for left and right on the sub? I have read on a few other posts problems with only using either left or right causes low volume.

Why is that ? My receiver is from about 1990 and does not have a sub out.

Well Newegg had the RW-12d on sale today for $350. I was reading in another post how someone had regretted on only getting one of these so........ I got two. This is my first purchase of my planned system. The only bad thing is I will not be able to listen to these until I get the new receiver.

What do you think about the RW-12d with 24-120 hz and 350 watt at $512 compared to the SW-450 with 28-120 hz and 450 watts at $434? I really have zero experience with subs. But it seems to me even though the first one has less watts it would make up for it with the lower hz? Is it any benefit when having two subs to have two different ones with different hz levels? The only reason I was asking is the TV I was looking at comes with a free polk 8" sub. I do not know the model but it could only be like a 32-120hz or higher on the low end?

Seeing how I can get a full 9.1 system for the same price of just the 7's and I do not have a HUGE budget that will be my first up grade in a few years. Here is what I am thinking of doing. The current room I am putting this in is small so I think it will be ok. Front mains RF-82 II Front Highs RB-41 II Center RC-52 II Sub SW-450 Surround side RS-41 II Surround Back RS-42 II Any one see any problems with this?

Well it makes a difference to listen to properly set up speakers. I went back today and noticed that the first RF-82 II's I listened to where hooked up wrong. Sounded like they has the polarity wrong? Thats why they sounded like they had no bass. Found some in their theater hooked up correct and they did sound very good.

How do you like the RS3's for the surrounds? It seemed to me a little speaker like should do just fine for the surround.

I did that. Called over half on the list and nobody at 84117 seems to carry them. They carry lots of them just not the 7's.

The 82's and 62's I heard did sound better than the Polks they had hooked up. But they still sounded small to me. Maybe I am just used to a speaker with a larger wolfer? My brother in-law had a pair of the hersey (I think they had 12"?) they always sounded good and I have had the advent legacy with 10". I not only like to hear the music I like to feel it. That is why I was thinking the 7's for the duel 10"s. Plus I can not stand distortion and I know Klipsch are suppose to have very little of that. I have left messages with a Klipsch sales rep Alvin to find someone that carries them in SLC, UT but he is either out of town or does not want to talk to me? I would have a hard time paying the price for these without being able to hear them.

I am looking at the Pioneer Elite sc-57. As far as I know it does.

I am looking to set up a new home theater. I have had a late 80's pioneer 5.1 and advent legacy set up. I have really enjoyed this over the years. I am looking at a pioneer elite 9.1 receiver. I am trying to figure out the front speakers to go with this. This receiver can do either a bi-amp or high speakers for the front. I do not have the room to do the 7's and the high speakers (unless it is the boom diggity then we will see) My question is for anyone that has done either option. Either use the RF-7 II bi-amp'ed (at $2400 a pair) VS using 4 of the RB-81 II (at $1700 for 4) putting one for left on the floor one right on floor and one high left and high right at the ceiling. Would using a sub make up for the smaller speakers in the 81's? I have never used a sub before. Has anyone tried the second option? Does it work? Whats any ones opinion on this? I have read some people say if you use the height speaker option on the front you do not need the rear surrounds. This I can not believe. With either option I will be using the rear surrounds and side surrounds. I have been using rear surrounds for years can not even fathom how a front speaker can replace the sounds that come out of the rears sometimes (like a noise that makes you turn your head in your own home:) I plan on using this for 50% tv, 20% movies, 10% games and 20% music. On another note I can not find a location in SLC, UT that has the 7's to listen to. I did listen to the RF-82 II or RF-62 II not sure which it was. But I was not all that impressed at comparing them to my Advent Legacy speakers. I have read that the 7's are lot better than the 82 or 62? I am also fairly stuck on using a pioneer receiver. I have a VSX-5700s that is about 20 years old and have never had a problem with it. Any suggestions on this setup would be greatly appreciated. As a second question on subs? What about one 15" VS two 10" subs?
