In this situation, you're getting something for $150 - which drastically changes the conversation. Like I get that the SVS is a 96/97 point wine for $100. But is the Klipsch (this one, not the RPs) a 91 pt wine for sub $15?

Agree but this is a bottle of wine that you'll have in your house for years most likely so maybe those extra points matter or maybe they don't - that is a personal choice. They're all gonna rumble and boom to some extent.

They're comparable.
The SVS is going to hit lower, and has a better warranty, Whether that's worth the additional cost at these current price points, I couldn't say. At MSRP, though, the SVS would ne a no-brainer. I'm sure the Klipsch is going to be just fine. There's a reason they and Def Tech are the Big Box store darling brands. They sound pretty good. |

so since I have to take the deftech BP9060 in for service again, I'm debating just selling them once it is repaired again and going with something that is totally passive and <$5k for a pair.
I'm hoping to demo a pair of Klipsch RF-7 IIIs this evening since my friends with similar tastes as me tend to go down the Klipsch route. My dad had a great set of JBLs many moons ago when I was growing up and I liked how they did things so I'm trying to find some place where I can listen to the JBL HDi 3800s. My experience thus far has been that I'm quite a bit more picky about how the mains perform for music than I am for movies. Anything I should consider? Keith, did your MArtin Logans come in yet? |

Damn, I would love to replace my RP250F mains with RF-7 III's. The larger drivers would be nice, especially since I don't run a sub in my 5 channel system, or my 2 channel system for that matter...
If you grew up with JBL's, there's a good chance you'll be quite happy with Klipsch. I find Klipsch to be ultra detailed and quite musical. I also like how efficient Klipsch are. The RF-7's are made in the USA as well. I run Klipsch Forte III's in my 2 channel system and find them to be absolutely incredible speakers. |

So many great options at 5k. Revel 208s as well as those JBLs would be on my short list. Dynaudo Evoke series getting good reviews as well. |

I have a JL e112 sub that hits HARD to fatten up the bottom end but I want the mains to go as low as possible so I have fat bottom-end. |

5k buys a nice set of used Khorns if you want to get really loud and really big.
I like to dabble in loud occasionally. My buddy has a pair of late 80s Khorns. I turned them way up for a few seconds to satisfy my curiosity. It is clear I had no prior concept of what loud is. |

I think the 12" might be too much for our house, the setup I have already rattles the main floor, I fear a 12" will cause too many fights. I guess I can always mess with the settings once it's in to not be too obnoxious, we'll see!

Get the 12" sub, put a saddle on it, put your lady in the saddle. Turn on the black hole scene from Gravity.

Ok, I don't think one can go wrong for $163 delivered. Plus Costco - so I can always return.

no such thing as too much sub. literally the only limited thing would be WAF (wife acceptance factor).

Moved/replaced my temporary surround speakers from way too high on the ceiling to right behind the seating position at head height, and made a shelf for one. Used some Honey Locust I had kicking around, black pipe fittings, and ebony stain. Came out pretty good and sounds MUCH better. Now it's all Boston Acoustics/SVS.

See above. The new house has no carpeting on the main floor, which we have found tends to echo sounds more than we were aware of. I'm sure with a sub I could turn that bass setting all the way down to 0 and it would be a much cleaner bass, but the WAF is pretty low. |

What is everyone's go to movie for testing their HT setup?
I downloaded the Dolby helicopter demo, just for calibrating the height speakers. It plays sound over the height only. Very useful. Spiderman Far from Home - incredible surround mix. Spiderverse - use it for testing sound track and bass. |

I may have to rewatch Spiderverse, I only saw it the one time, but we have it on iTunes I think. I'm gonna have the kids watch Gravity with me one night this week, in the dark down there with the stereo all the way up, I think they'll love it! |
