yromj Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 I ran a KSW-10 w/ my Quintet setup. I still have it, if you're interested PM me. I'm currently using it w/ my updated system. It does a very good job, but I've got a big room to fill and don't have a very good place to put it. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on your room size and your taste in what you mean by "authoritative." A KSW-10 is well built but will be somewhat boomy and definitely not authoritative. No offense, just layin on some truth. Give me a price range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The KSW-10 will NOT blow out his walls, that's for sure. But then again neither will the Quintets. The Quintets and KSW-10 are both fairly good options at their price points. The KSW-12 will offer some more "authority", for not a whole lot more money. Therefore, I took no offense at your reply. You're also correct that he needs to provide a budget. Otherwise we'll just say SVS PB2 Ultra and be done w/ it. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo33 Posted August 6, 2004 Author Share Posted August 6, 2004 So I should go for the KSW-12 (used, of course)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEAR Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 What sub for Quintets? Easy,you know the Quintets do not have any deep bass,good.Now you need a sub capable of reproducing some bass,not only deep subsonics. This is the perfect job for a RSW10 or if you are looking for value...RW10.The RW10 will climb up and meet the higher crossover points better than the large subs(designed for the deep bass to match near full range tower speakers). So an SVS is NOT a good idea,unless you want a nice audible hole.SVS like Sunfire love the depths,and have no punch like the RSW and less expensive RW's. Another alternative would be HSU's STF2 sub.

meuge Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 All Sunfire would really have to do to make their subs cooler is add a 'U' at the end of their STF models. It could stand for 'Ultra'. Just imagine - the new STFU sub from Sunfire : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may feel the upgrade bug with much more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAS Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 I really want to recommend a 25-31pci for the heck of a deal you'd get compared to the RW series, but with the limited frequency response of the satellites (100 Hz or so it says) I'd probably go with a Klipsch product, too.

The RSW-10 may be a viable option, if it's not too expensive. John- Who was completely joking about the PB-2 Ultra, BTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo33 Posted August 12, 2004 Author Share Posted August 12, 2004 I have decided to settle for the KSW-10 since I am being offered a (practically new) used one (been sitting in the original box for the last three months) for $175. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
