Thanks for the info. The Klipsch subs I was referring to are the ones that match the Klipsch system I chose. The KSW-12. The B&W sub I picked is $330. I thought it had more kick than the Klipsch. Maybe because it was front firing? C'mon after 117 views no one else has some good advice?

I'm not sure why they didn't match the surrounds with the rest of the system but that is something I will check into. As far as price for a receiver I'm aiming towards the $1000 mark. That is why I had my choices narrowed down to the Denon and Rotel models I have listed. I have about $300 to $350 alotted for a sub. Thanks everyone for your comments.

I'm thinking about updating my old Kenwood system in a box. I went to the local hifi store and this is what I priced out after listening to B&W, Paradigm, Energy & Klipsch. RF3S2 for fronts RC3S2 for center SS1B for surrounds B&W ASW 300 for sub What do you think about this combo? I went with the B&W sub because I have read that the Klipsch subs are not that great. I have a big room to fill (15' x 40' with my HT set up at one end). Also what would you recommend for a receiver? I was thinking about the Denon AVR 3803 or the Rotel RSX 1055. Thanks.
