Well, I just got off the horn with JD from AVS and looks like I will indeed be purchasing the SW-115 and either the Denon x4000 or Marantz sr7008. He provided great offers and they will ship to my APO. Now the question is. . . . x4000 or sr7008? the Marantz costs $625.

Haha, I should have been more specific. I had made a post saying I could not find jdsmoothie on the AV Forums, but then I realized you said the AVS Forums. Gonna give him a call when I get off shift and get some prices on some goodies.

Disregard this post.

Really? The few places I've looked online the X4000 sells for $1,299.

Wow, I completely missed the Denon X4000 - I see it's on sale from $1,199. Regarding the subs, they don't have to be Klipsch. I would like to purchase this sub while I'm still over in Germany which isn't an issue because I can ship anything to my APO via apobox.com. Any other sub recommendations?

Thanks for all the input guys. I have checked the AAFES online store, which from time to time actaully has great deals on quality items, but they do not carry Klipsch or any reputable receiver. From what I've read thus far on the SW-115, seems it will fulfill my deep bass needs while listening to music.

I am stationed in Germany with the military, but am currently in a wonderful place called Afghanistan. Just working the budget and wish list for when I come home. I will be heading back to the States next fall however.

Hey guys, I'm new here and new to the home theater world. About two years ago I bought 2x VF-36 (floor standing speakers), 2x KB-15 (bookshelf), 2x KS-14 (bookshelf),1x VC-25 (center speaker), and the SW-450 subwoofer. My receiver is a Yamaha RX-V673: http://www.amazon.com/Yamaha-RX-V673-7-2-Channel-Network-Receiver/dp/B007JF85WE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1391001280&sr=8-1&keywords=yamaha+rx . I have a rather large room (30x20 with 12ft ceilings) This setup sounds great, but I find the subwoofer lacking when I want to listen to music at higher levels. Woofer sounds great for movies though. I also feel the receiver doesn't push as much power when I'm looking to crank the tunes. I've been thinking about adding this subwoofer: http://www.amazon.com/Klipsch-SW-310-Powered-Subwoofer-Each/dp/B0045CJ7QW/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1391001530&sr=8-10&keywords=klipsch+subwoofer . I've also been thinking about upgrading my receiver to the new Marantz: http://www.amazon.com/Marantz-SR7008-9-2-Channel-Networking-Receiver/dp/B00CS4X8S2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1391001608&sr=8-1&keywords=marantz+sr7008 . I've been trying to read as much as possible, but still not sure if I should upgrade my receiver? I can afford the receiver, so that isn't an issue . . . I just don't want to buy something that won't improve my system. I only use this system for movies/sports games/music - no video games. Just wondering if any of you were familiar with any of these products and if they will be worth it? Thanks!
