Hey guys. Interesting read. I guess we're all on the same path! I could not pass up that $289 for the RP500C last week, although the 600 would be nice. For now I've got some R41Ms as rears, which are actually quite capable speakers. Can't believe they are 114 for the pair. Theyll be the first to go, but I've got. Long way to go.
I sold my R26FA's, R52C, and R12swi. I got the rp500c, im going to get the rp6000f, and after all the research I've done...the only sub that seems to be very high quality that I can afford is a pb1000, so I'm going duals, over a single pb2000 pro. I get a lot of bass related info from subwoofer101. Its a small YouTube channel and a website where he recommends subs he's tested. They have deep bass. I know this is a klipsch site, so I won't say anything besides that the r12swi wasn't a good fit. I LOVE this new tweeter in the RP I mean...wow. I got this center channel and started selling off everything! I, also, am kinda debating the rp8000f but I don't know about it with the 500c. I could take that $200 savings from the 8000 to the 6000 and use it to replace the 500 with the 600, I suppose.
Next, ill get 2 rp500SA's at a time. I'm not doing the bouncy house atmos anymore. I'm going "front height" with them. Meaning, on the wall. Powered by the x3700h that I wish was an x4700h. But it'll do the trick. But yea the svs PB1000 dual is where I'm going. 950 shipped. Huge investment, but they've been the best deal on the market for a very long time now. Don't be afraid that they're 10s. They weigh 20lbs more than my klipsch 12. 47-48 pounds! Down to 17hz...and maybe more importantly, the klipsch wouldn't go above 120, and I like to set my lfe at 200hz with my speaker crossovers a little higher than THX. I'm building a real room, but I don't move in until March. So I have a very specific sound at the moment in the living area of my APARTMENT. I hate it. Still going duals.
