Hello: ...just wanted some honest feedback on what, over time, I have done to my speaker set-up. First, I have plenty of power on the amp/receiver side so that's not an issue. I started with Polk Audio 2000i's and didn't like the upper end clarity but loved the midrange and bass. Then I added a pair of Klipsch RS 5's. These brought an accent to the mid-high end but didn't quite give the high-high response I was looking for (the brush of a symbol, the ring of a bell - clear and strong and high) Finally I think I found what I probably should have started with - I added a pair of M & K S150's. I put them right on top of my Polk 2001's and dedicated one of my amps to them. For me this hit the spot. Maybe I'm just getting too old and can't hear what I used to hear. Oh, I forgot to mention, I also use a KSW 15 and a Polk SW350. Great low, low's, great high-highs and a powerful mid to boot. Is this speaker mixing crazy or what?

Hello: I listen to my stereo at relatively low levels (background music level)but still enjoy a good solid low end. The auto-on, off feature on my KSW 15 subwoofer doesn't seem to activate unless I turn my stereo up past the volume I like to listen to. I can leave the subwoofer "on" but it stays on even when I turn the equipment off. I use an LFE (sub) output from my receiver to the speaker inputs on the back of my sub via a "y" connector. Here are my questions: Is it a good idea to plug in the subwoofer to a switched outlet (mine are currently all in use)or can I leave it on 24/7. How much power does it use just sitting? Is it OK to leave the power on all the time? Why doesn't the auto - on/off work at low levels. The sub is definitely getting a signal. Thanks for your response. Suggestions?...I've tried using the volume controls on the back of the unit but to no avail.
