Hi All - Just became a member of the Klipsch Klub this week with my purchase of a pair of KLF-10's and a KLF-C7. I plan to purchase a Denon 3802 shortly. I've read many of the posts both on this forum and on AudioReview.com, and they've all been very helpful. At this point, I need a little help on a few related subjects: 1. Which would be the best matching rear surrounds? The Legend Series owner's manual says the KSF-S5, and a Klipsch "System Matching Guide" says the RS-7. I see there's also a KSF-S6, and my local dealer says the RS-3 would be his recommendation, as the RS-7 would be overkill (although I do have the space). I also hear that there is now an upgraded RS-3 II (internal wiring? better drivers?), but not an upgraded RS-7 (true?). I plan to mount the surrounds on a vaulted ceiling wall 3-4 feet behind the sofa, at 8-foot height (where the vaulted ceiling living room meets the contiguous non-vaulted ceiling dining room) at positions slightly wider apart than the sofa length. 2. The reviews of subwoofers seem to recommend Paradigm PW-2200, Definitive PF15TL, M&K VX1275, B&W ASW1000 and Velodyne CT-150 (a little big). My music/HT ratio is likely to be 70/30 or even 80/20, so I want a good (fast) musical sub. It seems a 12" would be the best choice for me (most 15" not fast enough for music? - some posts seem to indicate that). Also, when are the new Klipsch RSW's coming out, and what are their expected prices? I'd appreciate any sub recommendations. 3. For interconnects & speaker wire, I was going to do what I thought everyone did - buy some mid-level Monster interconnects and 12-ga. Monster speaker wire, and leave it at that. But so many of these posts seem to say this is so bad, I really don't know what I should get. I don't really know what is the right amount to spend on wire/cables for this level of system, or where I should get them, although I'm perfectly willing to put in whatever is a reasonable amount for good quality. The only really unanimously good review for Monster I saw was for its sub cable. Many thanks in advance for your assistance...
