I've been lurking around here for a little while and I only turned up one thread in my search that was related to the Klipsch RSW-12. In that thread Dr. Rapp said it wasn't one of Klipsch's best (which is good info, but I'd like to get some clarification).
My question is this:
If you found a good deal on an open box special ($998 US), would you buy it? By "not one of Klipsch's best", do we mean that it's bad, or that it could be better (or, it could be better if I spent more money)? I'm aware that more money will typically buy "the next step", but can I be happy with the RSW-12 for movies and some music? Is there a better choice for around $1,000?
A bit of background may help. I'm running 4 Paradigm Monitor 7's (V.4), in 5.1 for now, and a Paradigm Studio CC (V.2). I'm in "mid upgrade" and have currently connected these to my Onkyo TX-SR600 (85x6) receiver. I sold my old sub recently and will be upgrading that next. I've also been considering the Paradigm PW-2100 and PW-2200, the Seismic 10, the Definitive Technology Supercube 1 and I have given some thought to the Velodyne DLS-5000R. I'd love a Servo 15, but it's not really in the budget at this time.
Shortly after the sub, I will be adding a Rotel RSP-1068 processor and power will come from a Rotel RMB-1075. I'm considering the addition of a pair of Monitor 3's and a RB-1050 for the 7.1 channels at a later time, assuming I can properly use the rear channels in my room.
The room is roughly 16x16, has 8 ft ceilings, and is connected to the kitchen by a walk-through area and is also attached to part of my entry way. It's located on the first floor of a house on a concrete slab.
Sorry for the lengthy post, but I wanted to give as much information as possible/useful.
Thanks,
Kevin
