Hello Friends,
I'm interested in a sub to complement my RF-5's. I've heard the RSW15's and 12's and they're somewhat out of my range of around $500, as I'm trying to conserve the finances for a Pre-Amp/Amp upgrade as well.
My system is used mainly (85%) for 2-Channel with occasional DVD-A's and movies. My listening preferences are mostly Jazz, Classical and some Rock.
I'm hoping to find a sub to sort of fill in some of the depth on acoustic bass, etc., but I don't need to shake the house apart - I've probably never had the volume knob up much past 45% thanks to the incredible effiency of these speaks. The room dimensions are 18x12' with mostly "hard" surfaces.
My current set-up tends to sound somewhat bright and analytical, but has vastly improved since upgrading the cables.
I've read many reviews in countless publications and websites but anticipate that I'll get much better info from those of you that have already been down this road with these, or similar speakers.
Also looking to move to a Rotel set-up of RSP976 or 1066 pre-amp, and 2-Ch Amp (Model TBD). Any insight here would also be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Pete
