Reference sub

What happened to the new reference sub. I can't find it on the Klipsch page anywhere. Even when I do a search. Please don't tell me that I have been waiting all this time to find out that they are junk like the old ones.

Come on honey why can't I spend some more money?

Aye, Captain W.S.N., the subs are still in dry dock with their specs hangin' in the breeze... and won't set sale until sometime when the leaves are turning cwm9.gif just enough time for a quickee "Klipsch Wife Charming" home audio study course! Biggrin.gif HornEd

So Mr. Ed, may I deduce from your explaination that the new Reference subs won't be out until autumn? I wonder which sub (if any manufactured by Klipsch) would be best suited for my single pair of KLF 30s and my single pair of Heresy surrounds? A sub is something I will only use for home theatre, and that comprises less than ten percent of my stereo usage, so I really need to keep the cost below $700. Since all my speakers save the center speaker are filled with twelve inch woofers, I figure that a fifteen inch sub would be essential. Any ideas? Anyone? Anyone? Am I looking at closer to a grand? Anyone? cwm32.gif

OY! What's taking them so long? I want to see some specs for the 10 inch. As you can see in my sig, I'm deciding between that and the HGS-10. Can anyone guess what the price of the RSW-10 would be? 'Cause price would also be somewhat of a factor in my decision. After all, the HGS-10 is not exactly cheap.

I would look at the HSU VTF-2 instead of the HGS 10. The HSU will deliver more bass then the HGS 12 for half the cost. I had an HGS 12 and it was a great sub but I HATED to hear a sub that expensive go "POP" every now and then because I asked too much of it.

Mr Blorry

There are some great subs for those speakers in that price range. Nousaine data:

1. HSU VTF-2 107.1 / 93~20 hz $500

2. Paradigm PW 2200 107.4 / 104~25 hz $800 list 112.8 db peaks

3. SVS CS 20-39 w/700 watt amp 109.5 / 20~91 / 25~105.8 $850 (dual subs w/amp $1250)

4. SVS CS Ultra W/1000 watt amp (APPROX) 112.5 / 20~98 / 25~110 $1575 (sub only $1099)

Really! Paradigm subs are a good match for Klipsch? Yes, I would rather get an SVS, but for the time being I need to keep my costs in check. Shouldn't we wait for the new K subs, or are they not going to matchup well with Legend speakers? Also, since I have a grand total of six twelve inch woofers in my HT rig, shouldn't I be looking at a larger diameter subwoofer? Keep in mind I'm a Legend/Heritage fan here; I prefer the slam and emotion!cwm32.gif

JimG hope you are right,I took several pain killers!I saw the pics of the new RSW series,they look gorgeous.

I want my RSW15 and RSW12.

TheEAR(s) cannot leave the poor little RF-5 with no help!And my Klipsch dealer told me the RF-7 is not yet out in Canada!? And the same goes for the RC-7! Frown.gif

My plan is to buy the RF-7,RF-5(great have it!) and the matching RC-7 center speaker.

Yes I will use the RF-5 as sourround! LOL

Its like my main Dynaudio Contour system,Contour 3.3's,Contour Center and Contour 1.1's for sourrounds!

Aerial SW12 and Revel B15 subs cover the low end.

The ATI 2505 amp wants to drive the RF series,and I want to hear the full power of Klipsch. Smile.gif

Overkill,you bet!
