I am currently redoing my hometheater room and have approximately 3,000 for speaker upgrades. I currently have two Klipsch RF3-IIs and matching center for the front speakers, with older Sonys filling in for the rears. I have an SVS PC+ 16-46 subwoofer. All of this is hooked up to a Denon 3802...

Thanks once again for the help. I have fired off an email to SVS describing exactly what I am looking for as per your suggestions. Hopefully with their help I can find the subwoofer package I am looking for!

Just to clarify, I currently only have one PC+ 16-46. I love the sub, but it doesn't quite deliver the boom I've heard from other subs (though I do love the lows it can get). Essentially, I am asking whether it would be better to purchase a second PC+ 16-46 or to sell my existing 16-46 and get a...

It certainly has the lows and I can feel it shake my pants and and rattle the walls. What it lacks are the 'booms' of other subs, the loud 'feel it in your gut' kind of bass that Klipsch provides (though I prefer controlled low bass to loud 'boom' bass if I have to choose between the two, which...

I currently own an SVS PC-Plus 16-46. While it is a great sub with excellent lows, it lacks the oomph of some other subs (such as Klipsch for instance). I had intended to add another to get both deep lows and the oomph I was looking for, but then of course, the P2B+ is right on its way. Would...

Thanks for the help, and I have definately decided to go with a widescreen projector. I noticed that while the Sanyo PLV70 can support a 1024x768 image in full (due to the 1366x768 native resolution), the HP TW 100 only has a native resolution of 1280x720 meaning it would not be able to display...

I currently have a pair of Klipsch RF-3IIs and the RF-3 Center for my front speakers. These are paired with a Denon AVR-3802 Receiver. I am currently building a dedicated hometheater room and am looking to upgrade my main speakers. While upgrading to the RF-7s would seem the obvious choice, I am...

Provided that there is no issue with burn-in, I would opt for the larger 16x19 area. I can fit a larger 16x9 screen in the alloted space for the screen as well. Though I watch about 50/50 now, I can forsee the amount of widescreen material I watch increasing fairly substantially in the years to...

I am looking to upgrade to a projector with a budget of 6,000 max. I will be using the projector primarily to watch DVDs but also for some HTPC, Xbox, Gamecube, and PS2 playing. I would break it down to roughly 50% widescreen material and roughly 50% fullscreen material. I can tolerate...

I have a subscription to IGN Insider and so far, I must say it has been a good deal, especially for the guides and movies (though, admittedly, the servers have been slow of late). The Gamespot Complete membership looks tempting as well, but I'm not sure I want to shell out for two online...

I'll have to go along with Chris and recommend a 16-46 PC+. I recently went through the tough process of choosing an SVS sub and finally decided to go with the 16-46 because I wanted to make sure that I would get ALL the bass from my DVDs and music. I decided it would be worth sacrificing a few...

I know, I know, you said you wanted to pay only $100. However! You can grab the Sony SAW-M40, a far superior sub to the SAW-M20, for only 130-140 online. I currently have an SAW-M40 (had it for about two years now) and it is truly amazing for the price I paid (I got it for about 180). In fact, I...

Heh, with 222 posts, I'd think you'd be familiar enough to know that Ron is one of the founders of SVS ;). Heck, he has SV Subwoofers right below his name! I would think that if anyone would know if SVS can outperform a competing sub, it would be him ;). Unless... of course, you were being...

I am approximately 11 to 12 feet away, and can hear the slight bias, it also sounds worse the closer you move to the speaker. It gets less noticeable the more you listen, but it does still put the sound slightly off center. Nothing I couldn't get used to I suppose, but I certainly didn't expect it.

Yes, the in my current setup, the room is less than optimal for home theater. However, I am moving the setup to a new room in a few weeks, where I can properly set all my speakers up (I just couldnt wait to order the Klipsches so they overpower my current setup right now). I just wanted to make...

Yes, the difference does seem to indicate shift in highs and lows, perhaps thats what I am hearing. It seems I get a bit more highs coming from the left. Upon watching a few DVDs, its easy to forget about it, however, it is somewhat noticeable at times. I found the decible difference using my...

The sound coming from the left woofer of my new Klipsch RC-3II is a good 1-2 decibles louder than the sound coming from the right woofer! This noticeably draws the sound to the left, creating an annoying off center listening field. Is there any way I can fix this problem or is my speaker...

Thanks for the reply, scouring around here I did find a few more instances of 25+ pound center channel speakers sitting TVs ranging from the 32" on up. Seems to sit fine on my tv, all I need to do is slightly aim it down to the listening position.

I believe you are asking what gauge of speaker wire you would want for a 30 foot run. You would be looking for 12 gauge wire for a 30 foot run. If you dont mind ordering online, you can grab some wire at www.partsexpress.com or, for something different, blue wire at www.knukonceptz.com. 12 gauge...

My Klipsch R*-3IIs came today! A question regarding center channel placement, my previous sony center sat atop my television, a Toshiba TW56X81. The new Klipsch center is much bigger and weighs about 29 pounds. Is it ok to put the center channel on top of the TV like the Sony. Unfortunately, I...

He'd most probably go with the 802.11b wireless standard which has a max transfer rate of about 11 Mbps. Considering that cable modems function over a 10 Mbps ethernet card (though it can also run over 10/100 card) and that max throughput is about 1.5 Mbps, basically there is no hit to...

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Turning them 90 degrees might be an option, but knowing that I couldn't fit them in, I didn't set aside an extra $800 for the 4 rears, to get 7.1 (or even $400 for one set). Additionally, I was under the impression that the RS-3IIs were designed specifically for 180 degree output, and turning...

I just ordered new speakers to replace my front mains and center channel. I am replacing floorstanding Sony mains (SS-AV44) and the matching Sony center (SS-CN15) (these also match my Sony rears (SS-SR15), which are quite small). I am upgrading to Klipsch RF-3IIs and an RC-3II. Unfortunately, at...

I was just about to order Klipsch Reference Series R*3-IIs all around, when I found out that there are NO online authorized dealers for new Klipsch merchandise. This puts a large wrench in my plans, as I was under the impression I would be able to grab the speakers online with warranty (and...

Well.... apparently there are NO authorized online dealers. Unfortunately, there are also no local dealers around me, leaving me out in the cold when it comes to a full Klipsch warranty. Anyone have any experience with online retailers for Klipsch?

The LFE track on LotR is unbelievable. One of the few movies that causes my existing Sony to really start distorting when listening up to 20-25 decibles below reference! This DVD has really convinced me to go with the SVS 16-46, so I can be absolutey sure I'll never get the bottoming out like I...

Well, I am almost positive now that I will go with the 16-46. Knowing I'll get ALL the bass from movies versus it being a notch louder seems the better altenative. Hopefully they'll keep the late August ship date! Thanks again for all the help!

Watching Resident Evil last night (popcorn fun, and hey, I loved the games!), I could not see myself cranking the volume up higher than about -5 decibles on the receiever for normal listening. At that point, I could hear occasional (during moments of big bass) distortion with my existing sub...

Here's the real question, if I do begin listening to the majority of my DVDs at reference level, instead of the -10 to -15 db I usually do now, would the 16-46 still be able to provide a good deal of oomph in action movies? If I do ever get around to sound dampening the ceiling of the room, I...
