opinios on rw-8 for my computer

[seventeenmonkeys]

hi,

i am currently looking for a sub for my computer setup. i' ve had the

original promedia v2-400 for about 4 years and then i "upgraded"

to a GMX 2.1 system but i wasn't really happy with them so i

decided to go with real speakers instead of computer speakers. so i

moved my home theater receiver (yammy rxv-1200) and bought a pair

of rb15. i am very happy with these speakers but i need a sub. i didn't

realise how important to me it is until i didn't have one. what do you

guys think of the rw-8 to complement my rb-15. the computer is in a

smaller room, about 17'x10' and i was really happy with the subs that

came with the v2-400 and gmx systems i had. how does this sub compare

to those subs? should i be looking for a bigger sub, maybe an rw-10 or

a sub-10 from the synergy series instead. it is mainly used for music

since during gaming my mind isn't really focused on sound quality. i

guess i really need a sub that is musical. thanks.

How much is the rw-8 if it is more expensive then the sub 12 then you

should get the sub 12. The rw-8 should outperform either multimedia

speakers. And matching the rw-8 with the rb-15 sounds pretty good.

For the money on a computer, the PMUs cant be beat. Good SQ, low price, good output, easy to use.

First off why dont you consider a Klipsch Sub12,not a big increase in price and a BIG gain in depth and output!

thanks for all the replys. the truth is that i really don't want to

spend that much on this sub because it will never be played that loud

so i don't think i need that great of a sub. i'm checking

out ebay on maybe getting a good deal on used sub. i found a listing

for an rw-8, which seems to be in my budget. the other big problem i

have is that i live in canada, and everything i find here is at MRSP.

too bad the store that sold me my paradigm pw2200 closed. the only

store up here that have klipsch synergy series are the best buys and

they are way overpriced ( they only have the sub-10 and selling it at

649.99$ +tax compared to best buy in the states that sell it at 349$

this week). then i have the reference series which a local chain do

carry but are overpriced (you don't even wanna know how much i paid for

my rb-15s). well, that's my situation, and thanks for all the comments.

if you guys have any suggestions on where to get good deals in montreal

they are more than welcome. my budget is around 300$CDN but am willing

to go up to 400$ for the right sub. it's also tricky when buying from

ebay because of the shipping costs and the taxes at the door, so i

don't think i can even afford a decent sub.
