Ok, here is my setup:
Sony DE875 Receiver
Klipsch RB5-II
Klipsch RC3-II
Klipsch RS3-II
Klipsch RSW-10 sub
The RSW-10 has great bass and it's not boomy like many other subs that I've heard, but my problem is that to get any good level of bass in the listening area I have to crank the sub up (like up to 75% volume or more). That seems a bit extreme and then I have a problem of living in an apartment and with it up this high it shakes my walls which I'm sure the neighbors don't appreciate. Also to really "feel" the bass, I have to be sitting near the sub (like right next to it).
To get any sound out of the sub at all I had to put
the sub setting at +3dB (it's currently at +6 dB trying to get some sound out of it) in the receiver setup. Again, I don't think this should be necessary.
All of my speaker wires are monster cable including the sub interconnect. Below is a diagram of how my speakers are currently laid out (hopefully this shows up right ):
FL----C----FR
-------------SUB
-----xxx
SL---------SR
The xxx is the viewing/listening position. The --- are just to get the speaker positions to show up right. Because of the layout of my apartment, I cannot put the sub in a corner, but it is currently near a wall.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
