  1. Yeah, I agree. I guess my biggest concern is will it effect the sound quality of the sub? If it is only cosmetic, which looks to be the case, then I am not as concerned about sending it back and could just file a claim. But if the sub could actually be broken, then obviously I want to send it back. I purchased through Amazon and have never returned anything before or filed a claim. I don't even know where to begin.
  2. So I received my r115sw today via ups and they apparently did not take as good of care of the package as I hoped. The box had some slight wear and tear, but nothing too concerning. However, when I opened the box the styrofoam package was cracked and broken apart on the top back side of the sub. There is slight damage on the top back corner on one side of the sub. It is slight, about the size of my thumb nail, but enough of an eye soar. It looks like the stryofoam was broken enough to slide down the side of the box and the sub was dropped or something thrown on top of it that caused the damage. See attached picture. My question: how likely is it that the actual components and sound quality will be damaged and should I send the sub back? Will I be able to hear the issue if something is wrong? Frankly, the cosmetic damage is not that big of a deal to me and it's in the back, which will be pressed up against the wall, but I am concerned if the speaker itself will be damaged. Thoughts?
  3. So, if I understand what you (Metropolis) are saying correctly, it would be more advisable to run the 5650-W IIs for the rear left and right, and the S IIs on the sides. Correct? The link above for the 7.1 is exactly how I have my theater room pre-wired. I may end up going 7.2, but, of course, the only difference will be an extra sub in the front.
  4. I have a quick and most likely simple question for audiophiles. I have a dedicated home theater in my new house. I have been researching projectors, screens, speakers and amplifiers extensively over the last few weeks and am looking forward to getting it all set up. I have decided that, for the purposes of the room and to have a clean look, I intend to buy and run a 7.1 system consisting of the RP-280F towers for the front left and right, the RP-450c center, and the R-115SW sub. However, for the sides and rear I am going to run in-wall speakers, paint them to match the color of the walls and avoid bulky speakers to have a clean look around the sides and back of the theater room. I am looking at the R-5650-S II and the R-5650-W II for the in-wall speakers. My questions: should I run four (4) of the R-5650-S IIs for the sides and rear? Or would it make sense to run the R-5650-W IIs in the rear left and right, and then the R-5650-S IIs on the sides? What would be the difference in the sound? Or do you recommend other in-wall speakers with the towers, center and sub? Related question: suggested best amp for this setup? I am thinking onkyo TX-RZ900 right now, but would be curious to know if anyone suggest another. I intend to run a blu-ray player and direct tv, but that's it. Will be used for watching movies and sports. Thank you for all of the help!
