  1. Think I will try these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KRVDSB2/ref=sspa_dk_detail_0?spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEyQ0VVT0RKM0pDU0ExJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwOTU4NDA5MjFVOVlIODJaWkJBUCZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwOTY3MTU2M1ZZVU9OMlhEOFpaVSZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2RldGFpbDImYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl&th=1
  2. Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately with my room being smaller and the window size / position I can't quite get those angles. More that I think about it stands are probably my best option.
  3. I just ordered a pair of Klipsch RP-402S speakers and was hoping to get some advice. These will be my surround sides in a Klipsch 5.2.2 set up. Room space is a little tight for stands, but I may need to use them as they may be the best option. I can't mount on one of the sidewalls due to my living room window position. Does anyone have suggestions of a good stand for these speakers? I did see these at Crutchfield: https://www.crutchfield.com/p_051NF36B/Sanus-NF36-Speaker-Stands-Black-lacquer.html Has anyone tried these stands? Or would it make any sense to get some sort of wall mount that would allow the speakers to be side mounted, above the window near the ceiling? Pointing down to the listening position. Or could these speakers be mounted behind the couch, off to the sides of the listening position? I'm guessing that would be a mistake since these would be side surrounds and not rear surrounds and as the couch, listening position, is again the back wall.
  4. Ok, thanks for the links. I will check them out!
  5. Hello, I am new to the forum and wondered if I might be able to get some suggestions/thoughts about an issue I am facing setting up my two Klipsch subwoofers. The issue seems that I am getting too much bass. The bass is not blending in well and seems to be out front and overpowers everything. Everything I have read about issues setting up subwoofers always seems to be the opposite concern with people feeling they need more bass. It seems like I just need to do some tweaking but being a newbie at this not sure what next steps are? My system is a hodgepodge for now (upgrades to rear & center coming soon): Dennon Receiver AVR-S920W Front Speakers Klipsch Reference Premier RP-280F Center Channel Klipsch Reference R-34C Surround Speakers Boston Acoustics Height Speakers Klipsch Reference R-41SA Subwoofer 1 and 2 Klipsch Reference R-120SW My living room is about 14 x 12 with standard height ceiling (all drywall). The room is rectangle shape. There is one opening/entrance to the room at the front left and a large window on the other side midwall. The subs are at the front of the room setting just inside of the L R fronts. I originally ran Audessy with the Gain knob at the 12:00 position on both subs. The Low Pass knob on each was turned all the way to the right to the LFE position. To try resolving the bass concern I went in a few days later and manually changed settings. I changed the Fronts to small and changed the Front crossover to 80 Hz. I also increased the center channel’s level so we could hear dialog better. The issue seems the worst when watching movies at louder volume. A few nights ago we watched the blu ray of A Star Is Born and Sam Elliot’s voice was so “deep bass filled” you could not make out what he said. However, in other movies dinosaur stomps or explosion sound/feel incredible! I contacted Crutchfield (where I made my purchases) via email and the rep suggested disconnecting one of the subs and then re-running Audessy. The thought was that it may be as simple as my living room is too small for two subs this size. He may be right and that is what I need to do but wanted to see if anyone here had any ideas first. I even wondered if moving one of the subs to the back of the room might somehow resolve the issue? It may be inconvenient to run a long cable down in to the basement and then back up to the rear of the room, but I guess I can do it if it will resolve. I attached a photo showing the settings that Audessy originally came up with and then my manual changes are shown to the right. I lowered the subwoofer level a lot trying to resolve but am not sure where Audessy had it originally. Any help in resolving the issue is appreciated! Hoping that I can make some adjustments and still have two subwoofers (and that I did not make a bad buying decision…).
