No one knows?

How EXACTLY would this be done. I know HornED can do it with a KLF30, but I assume the RF-3II's would involve a somewhat different approach. Like the platic motor board is only roughely 3/8's of an inch think rather than the inch of a KLF30, and with rounded edges on the sides. And the method Klipsch uses to mount the speakers could very well be different, as the speakers seem to be slightly offset into the motor board somehow and are flush with the board rather than sticking out. Also, it doesnt appear than the grill holders come out of the motor board, so I dont know what to do about that. Any ideas? - Jason

UPDATE... I recently saw that I can get a samson 350w x 2 amp for 285 shipped instead of the marants 300w x 1 for 230 shipped. Should I go with the Samson? I have been thinking about getting dual SVS subs. Also, I have a 25-31 coming pretty soon. Should I now get the 16-41 so I have a nice range in bass tone or should you only get two of the same kind of sub?

Oh, I see how its done. But what if I cant put together a motorboard as well as the people at Klipsch? THat would be a sweet looking setup with a 38.5" center channel though. This message has been edited by jwadd21 on 08-07-2002 at 03:06 AM

I can get an SVS 25-31CS and a Marantz MA700 300w amp for $480 shipped. Or I can get an M&K 125MX for 600....

Thats pretty sweet. How did you modify that center channel? - Jason

I know the RC-7 is better, but it will end up costing me twice as much. I have RF-3II's right now. Is it worth spending $250 for the rc-7?

http://www.geocities.com/jwadd21/room.txtThis is a diagram of everything in my room. The light gray objects are moveable, the others are not. The speakers are in black. I only have the RF-3's right now, but will be getting the rest of the setup shortly. I was just wondering how these positions look for placement.

I must say, I am in love with these speakers. All previous talk of Klipsch speakers as being too bright have been silenced. These are very well balanced speakers and they still get VERY loud like you would expect from Klipsch. GET THEM!

yes. but which marantz? ma700(200w) at $200 or ma6100(125w) at $150.

Ok, I have decided I will sell the LF-10 on ebay and pick up an SVS. But, what amp should I use with the 25-31 CS? I can get a Marantz ma6100(125w) monoblock for 150 or an ma700(200w) for 200 or that cheap partsexpress amp for 120.

The LF-10s apparently have air leakage problems in many of them. I want to get an SVS just because they are so highly acclaimed. I can get that 25-31 for 250 shipped, but I would want a better amp than some generic 250 thing from parts. What is the best amp for a single 25-31? I was looking at the marantz MA-500 and the MA-700. The 700 has more power and I can get it for 230 shipped, making the entire sub a 480 purchase shippsed. But I still dont know what kinda amp I should get for it. Then again, this means I have to return the LF-10. BUT I can only return it if it has defects. So I may have to sell it on eBay(could make a profit). What should I do. The LF-10 comes tommorow, and when I get it I can put it on ebay immediately. ??? I mean, the LF-10 is supposed to be a 1300 dollar sub right? It must be pretty damn good. and the SVS pci is only 500. How could the SVS at 500 be better than a sub at 1300?

Besides if you dont like it(which I doubt) you can return it. Being that your aware of the problems to LF series had, take the plunge and try the SVS, you wont regret it. I also have a pair of SVS 20-39s and the single 25-31PCi nearly matches the pair in output above 25hz. The new driver rocks, so much that I just bought the upgraded drivers for my 39's. Bass nirvana here I come. Heres a link to a used 25-31CS for a great price, get a parts express 250 watt sub amp, on sale now for $119 and you have a slamming sub for minimal $$$. The thing is, I don't know if I can even return the Klipsch unless it is defective. I think I will sell it on eBay if it works great and get the SVS PCi 25-31. Good idea? or should I get the 20-39? Like I said, I am a little more concerned with performance for music and volume than HT. But I also want something that reaches low. The 25-31 is 550 after shipping and the LF-10 is 492 after shipping(but i think i can get 600 after shipping for it on ebay). Thank you for any input.

I recently purchases an LF-10 off of uBid.com, not knowing that there had been problems in the past. Hopefully mine will work ok, I get it on monday. If it doesnt work, I don't know what to do, send it back for return or try to get it fixed. Also, now I am hearing how great the SVS subs are. The Klipsch was 492 after shipping, and I wanna keep it around 500-600 dollars after shipping for my budget. The question is, should I return the LF-10 even if it works because the SVS are so good? And if I do, what SVS should I get in the 500-600 total price range. PS, I want a sub for 80% music, 20% HT. I want decent low low bass, but am slightly more concerned about bass that is fairly audible. Any suggestions? Actually, I realized that SVS recommends the PCi 25-30 for someone who cares less about very low frequencies, and more about volume. Is it true that the smaller sub is actually louder? just with less very very low bass. if this is true, then i am getting a smaller SVS if i do get one.
