murphy Posted October 21, 2001 Share Posted October 21, 2001 I heard and saw Klipsch speakers for the very first time this afternoon! I'm impressed... I'm looking at setting up a home entertainment centre for music DVD's etc in a relatively large and open basement area. It will be in the one corner with a pillars and cut-outs but the whole floor area is probably around 1500 sq ft. The salesman where the Klipsch is sold suggested the following: KSW15 subwoofer RC3 centre RF3 pair front RS311 rear times two Sony STRDB840 REC The price is at the max range of what I want to spend. So I'd like to hear opinions about the combination of speakers here. I realize that quality is a function of what you can afford; however any opinions will be wellcome.

jeffgeorge Posted October 22, 2001 Share Posted October 22, 2001 Murphy, I have a similar set-up in my basement, and I must say it is well worth the money. One area to cut on cost might be in the sub. I have a KSW-12, and it fills the room with good deep bass. ------------------ RF-3's : mains RC-3 : center RS-3's : surrounds KSW-12: subwoofer Receiver: Denon 2801 DVD: Panasonic DVD-A120 CD: Yamaha CDC-765 Cables: Tributaries Sat Receiver: Hughes Direct-TV DD5.1 ------------------------- Family room: RB-5's (Mahogony) Receiver: Denon AVR-2000 (2ch.)

ERIK Posted October 24, 2001 Share Posted October 24, 2001 I've got almost the same set-up too. KSW-12 instead of 15. I couldn't be happier. Switching to the 15 is a good idea with the open area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belial Posted October 25, 2001 Share Posted October 25, 2001 Buy Klipsch online if you want to save money. That is the best advice I can give. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decibel man Posted October 25, 2001 Share Posted October 25, 2001 Do you like Sony recievers? You may want to check out other receiver options, Denon, Yammy, Marrantz, and Harmon Kardon. UBid could be a place to find receivers. Good luck with the project and keep the BB informed along the way. JT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyK Posted October 25, 2001 Share Posted October 25, 2001 Murphy, I have the RF-3, RC-3, and RS-3 reference setup coupled with a Denon AVR-2801 receiver and couldn't be happier. When I bought my speakers almost a year ago I listened to the KSW-12 and KSW-15 subwoofers and wasn't very impressed the the sound quality or loudness. You might want to check out a company called SVS Subwoofers (http://www.svsubwoofers.com/). They have many subwoofer choices and great prices. They are held in high reguard with many members of the Home Theater Forum. I hope to have one myself in the near future. Marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
