Does the sub have to be Klipsch? Are you planning on buying to use it overseas? There are better subs for the money than the Klipsch if you can wait until you get back to the States. Mahalo for your service and stay safe.

Are you serious? Not really, but some of the support thrown out to the OP seemed a little bleeding heart IMO.

For all those in support of the OP, none of you can't seriously say that after reading his "story", which the version here and the version at AVS are not the same, didn't think that this might be a scam? And if it isn't a scam and the OP has a "demanding" career, one would think that he would also be smart enough to track his $3K. Or was it his GF's 3K, cause I'm confused. It was his CC but his GF "bought" them, or was it his GF's CC? Who knows? In the end, it's up to the OP to pursue the issue, not SVS. SVS did their part, got a signed delivery notification. As far as they are concerned the subs were delivered. It's up to the OP to prove they weren't. That might suck, but that's the way it is. All ya'll are liberals, right?

Seriously? You didn't know the subs were "delivered" for a week after the fact? $3000 worth of gear and you don't have email notifications or even bother to monitor the tracking? Good morning ladies said the blind man as he walked past the fish market.

Get a sub or subs first. Even a $300 AVR works well with Klipsch. I know. I have one.

That should be nice. But like others have said, maybe step down the sides and rears to save money towards the sub. Of course if your getting the SW115 for $300 or so, you can't beat it at that price. It may not be the most articulate or detailed for music, but has good output and digs pretty deep. You could see how it works for you then possibly add another sub down the road if needed. Good luck and enjoy your system.

I run my system off of 45 watts/channel and it will blow me out of the room. The e300 should be plenty unless you like to listen beyond reference volume. My room is about the same size- 13x14x9.

Do you already have a sub? If not that is where I would put most of the money. Get an AVR for around $300 and spend the rest or more on a good sub if you don't already have one. For the AVRs the lowest end new Denon that has pre-outs is the X4000. You should be able to find it new for around $1000. IMO you won't need external amps. Your seating position is close enough that any decent AVR will drive those speakers to very loud levels. I run 50 watts/channel and have yet to come close to wanting or needing more power.

Thanks. I'm thinking it must be a cancellation issue. The reason it wasn't noticeable with the 52s was because they just didn't have near the bass the 62s do. I've been listening to music this afternoon with no sub and the 62s sound great in stereo, where the 52s didn't. It's easy to turn the sub on and off via the AVR so for most music I'll probably run them without the sub. For my metal I'll bring the sub back in though.

With the sub set to LR +LFE the sub is getting everything and the LR are also getting the full range signal. I can tell the sub is working but there just isn't as much bass as there is when the LR are set to small or crossed over. It does sound really good set to small. Sub is up front and phase set to zero. Thanks

I do have a question on the bass. Hopefully you'll read this. Anyway, with the 52s when I ran them full range and the sub set to what is essentially double bass, they had a little more punch then when I went with them crossed over. I like a 100hz in my system and actually like 120 for the center and surrounds. Anyway the 52s sounded better full range. So I tried the 62s that way and noticed a lack of bass (relatively speaking). So I set a 100hz crossover and and BOOM! There was the bass. What is happening when running them full range and double bass? Is there some type of cancellation going on? I watched Pacific Rim last night and at only -20db I had a wall of sound coming at me(us) with a ton of bass (sub on of course). Why do I get more bass with the 62s set to small? It wasn't this way with the 52s. Thanks.

I have them in the same location as the 52s were in. Maybe if I A/B'd them I would have been able to tell, but I boxed the 52s up for return on Monday. I'm sure they have a bigger sound but without a back to back I just can't tell. I know they have a lot more oomph and like I mentioned a ton more bass. I still have to mess around with running them large or with a crossover. Thanks for the help so far.

My 62s arrived this morning. Took a long lunch to pick them up and put in place of the 52s. Only had time to listen to parts of a few different songs. Can't say if they sound fuller or bigger than the 52s but they do have a LOT more bass. These could be run without a sub for most music with no problem. Will be watching Pacific Rim tonight, maybe Monster's University on Saturday.

White House Down. The plot, plot devices and story were far less believable than even Pacific Rim . What a stupid, stupid movie. Even more inconceivable than OHF. 1 star on the story. Idiotic. 3.5 on the sound. Video I don't really pay that much attention to. As long as it looks good to me. A few decent bass scenes, overall decent mix, nothing stood out good or bad. Will be renting Pacific Rim this Friday. I saw it in 3D at the theater when first released so hopefully the 2d blu-ray won't be quite as dark. Oh, and my RF62s should be in, so a nice way to test them out.

I remember back in 81 when stationed at Little Rock AFB, I went to a high end audio store (remember those? ) Anyway I can still remember the shock and awe of standing in front of a pair or Klipschhorns (the corner ones) and seeing and feeling my pants being moved from the bass coming out of those beautiful speakers. I think they were being driven by a 200 watt McIntosh amp. Quite a few guys I knew had Heresies. You could hear them all over the "dorm". I wanted a pair but alas was too poor.
