HornEd, Thanks for the info. I looked at the SVS site and there stuff looks great. I have an OK reciever (Denon 1602) which serves me good. Being in an apt building, I can't go too loud. When I move out I'll invest in a better reciever. Now, do you find using an amp and a passive woofer better than just using a powered woofer? I've never owned a sub before, so I want to get something quality that'll last me a while (like my RF-3II's). Will I find that as I get nicer equipment, that an amp/passive woofer performs better than a powered one?

I posted this yesterday in the Woofer section, but since I got no replies, I thought I would try it out here. I recently picked up a pair of the RF-3 II speakers for my apt. Now I want to pick up a center channel (RC-3 II) and a subwoofer. I know that you want to get a center channel that is matched to your speakers, but what about the subwoofer? I rather not get the RSW-10 subwoofer right now b/c I don't think I would be able to fully enjoy it (I'm on the 3rd floor apt and I don't think my neighbors share my audio tastes). Will a smaller less expensive subwoofer ($500 range) degrade the sound? Any suggestions for a subwoofer?

Hello everyone. This is my first post, so sorry that it's so long. I recently picked up a pair of the RF-3 II speakers for my apt, along with a Denon 1602 Reciever, a sony DVD player, etc (The people at Tweeter love me). Now I want to pick up a center channel (RC-3 II) and a woofer. I know that you want to get a center channel that is matched to your speakers, but what about the woofer? I rather not get the RSW-10 woofer right now b/c I don't think I would be able to fully enjoy it (I'm on the 3rd floor apt and I don't think my neighbors share my audio tastes). Will a smaller less expensive woofer ($500 range) degrade the sound? Any suggestions for a woofer?
