  1. Look through the personal music system and you'll find tons of complaints of issues with the pro media. They just had big time amp issues. I've always heard they sounded good but the fact they can't fix the amp issues I've never felt the desire to try a set. I personally would rather have a good set of passive bookshelves and a small integrated amp. Add a sub down the road

    yeah- I was debating if I should wait for the new line ( love new stuff- who doesn't).  But would have to pay more for sure. Also curious as to how much better ( if any?) they would be from the current line. Impatience is tough to fight sometimes. 

    I hear that. I doubt the new line will be any better. They are prolly going to go a little more laid back like the rest of the RP line. So me I'd prolly love them for music but hate them for movies. 

    Have you thought about something like the ki-396? Ask @MetropolisLakeOutfitters About a 396 vs a 7ii

  3. Yep I like both woods. Black would look best in there. And me personally, I can't stand the look of the copper drivers on cherry wood. Looks cheesy to me. I like them on cherry speakers where the front is black. That's what I'm most excited about the new ones. Looks way better in my opinion. 

  4. does anyone have some P-17's that they dont want anymore? i recently sold my 2 channel speakers (cornwalls) and am wanting to replace them with something smaller. i really enjoyed my 17's when i had them. i have tried asking the guy to sell them back to me. he won't. so asking on here and maybe will get lucky. 

  5. Well there is no doubt Klipsch is behind in the market with today's movies lfe demands and what some people want (multiple 18" subs). Problem is, in my eyes, pricing. Didn't the rsw-15 originally retail for like 2 grand or more? Your in dangerous territory there as the internet direct brands are into multiple 15-18" drivers and 4000+ watt DEPENDABLE amplifiers. Klipsch first needs to figure out a reputable amp in my opinion. Current ones leave a lot to be desired I feel. Lots of issues with them humming and just not lasting long.

  6. I'm betting they have similar output but something tells me the quality of bass you are getting won't even be close. I've owned the palladium sub. And the sw-112. If it's anything like the 112 well, you'll prolly be selling. 

     

    But you you never know. And like bill said, if you aren't losing any money, doesn't hurt to try out.

    @ACV92 I had a used Yung SD500 w/boost plate amp in hand and I was trying to keep my budget to $350, so I used the Dayton Audio Reference 15. 

    It's a sealed design (hence the bass boost) and I love it, it's a real chest thumper for music.  Be aware the Yung SD models have a high pass filter at 30 Hz so it doesn't go sub-sonic.

     

    I would think the Ultimax 15 to be a better value, digs deeper, higher power handling.

     

    Since 18 is the new 15, the current best bang-for-buck is a couple of Umax 18's and a $400 Inuke 6000 w/dsp, $1200 total.

    You might want to consult @Scrappydue as he has several (4 to 8?) of the Umax 18's I believe.

    i dont run ultimax. i run stereo integrity 18's. 8 of them in sealed boxes. just like the 4cuft flat pack from parts express

  8. Just so you know, most places that are selling for 450 new includes free shipping and a warranty. Shipping one of those at 400 probably puts you over new and warranty does not transfer at all. Just a heads up. 

     

    Are you not within a return period from wherver you bought them?
