Gold Deez Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 Thanks. That's what I was thinking but wasn't quit sure. I am running a THX certified receiver, the RX-Z11. I'm on the hunt for a pair of black RB-81's then. I just got my SVS's a week ago and already cracked my drywall while watching Pacific Rim. Btw I noticed your from KC. I'm down in the Wichita area. Here's a quick pic of my setup. I'm rewiring all my stuff at the moment so it's a lil messy.nice not too far from me! Hey I'll tell you what if you wanna get rid of that rt-12d let me know. I may be interested even if broken. There's a Klipsch dealer with a repair center here in Wichita. I took my RT-12D into them once already and they said nothing was wrong with it. I brought it home and it worked for a couple days then quit working again. I'm not sure what's up with it. It cost me $50 just to have them look at it so I plan on taking it back and taking advantage of getting my moneys worth. I have 90 days to do this in. After I get it fixed I might consider selling it and going with another SVS for my 2 channel setup. I'll let you know once I get it back. It's a great sub when it's working. I wanted to go duals and finding another RT-12D I figured would be slim to none so I went with SVS. I did find another member here on the boards that has a pair of mint condition RB-81's and plan on purchasing to use for rears. I think for the way my living room is laid out I'd be better off with a direct radiating speaker. Not that it's going to make a big difference just something I've been pondering about for a long time now. I had my RC-64 mounted on a angled shelf above the window behind my tv for a few years but it was so high up it wasn't a good fit so I placed it back to it's old spot below the tv. It is angled up with the auralex. I just hate to raise the tv up more then where it's at cause it's nice to have the view out of the front window. I would like buy a house in the future with a dedicated theater room. Thanks for the replies everybody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hydro_pyro Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Got my RS pair today, hooked them up in place of the RB's. Better wider coverage, but they sound like there's more volume fall-off as you get farther away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The History Kid Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Personally (though this is a small room - actually about 2 or 3x too small for what I have) I have the wides turned up to +4 dB, and the rears turned up to +3 dB to compensate for that. The setup plays nice with these settings too, and the sweet spot runs through the whole available listening area instead of rear and center.
