Klipsch R-10SW or alternatives?

[slkdk]

Hi,

 

Building a home theater, with RF-82 mk1 as main speakers and center.

Looking out for a sub. My room is 13 x 18 feet.

 

The Klipsch R-10SW is fitting my budget very well, but is it the best sub I can find in that pricerange?
I have also looked at Boston Acoustics ASW 250, is that better or worse than the R-10SW?

Any third sub I should look into (within same price range).

 

Best regards

I implore you to not buy the Reference (Icon) line of subs to mix with your actual Reference gear. They're not designed with the other in mind. The R-110SW would be the suitable pair, but it may leave you wanting more. The R-112 or R-115 would suit you better.

Reference = OLD Icon

Reference Premier = OLD Reference

If money is an issue, you may want to search for used on your local CL. SVS also has some nice offerings that may suit your needs.

Maybe a used sub would give you a little more sub for your buck.

A good used 12 or 15 in. would go nicely with the RF 82's.

What is your actual budget? Sub is the second most important speaker in home theater following the center. Your doing it right by three towers why stop at a wimpy sub? Save up some extra money and spend I would say at least 500$ on either a pair of bic pl-200's or a single better quality subwoofer like a Svs pb-1000.
