hey, i need some advice.....

i have a 16x16x10 (sloped) room.

i will be buying the RF-82 pkg.

i can get the RW-12 sub for $325 (maybe even less)

or RW-12D sub for $475

or RWS-10D sub for $800

in your opinion which would be the way to go?  i understand the the rw subs are the same except for the ir sensor and display, i don't know if i have a use for that, but it might be nice.  i called klipsch and the tech support and the guy favored the rws-10d, he said it was he favorite sub....

any help would be great..... 

well okay, if the ear won't replay, anyone else have an opinion? 

I would go with a non Klipsch sub personally.  I heard the new  RT-12d and was severely disappointed.  Maybe SVS or Epik?

Although main, center and surround speakers should be timbre matched, the sub works in a different frequency range, so it's not as important to use the same brand as the other speakers.

 i know they can be different, i just don't know which one to get.  to me it's like being blind folded and pointing. 

How much can you spend?  Do you have to have a Klipsch sub?  Epik has been getting some great reviews by their users. 

Elemental Design is another one to check out.

Agreed, check out Epik or Elimental Designs subs.

well my price range was first at $425 (thats the cost of the rw-12d).  then i might move it up to $800 (thats the cost of the rsw-10d).  i know i don't want to spend too much because i am buying the entire ht system at once. 

i have been told that the rw-12d is "boomy" but then i was also told the svs sub was too.  so i really don't know what to get. 

so far i like elimental designs but i am confused about my choices....like which driver to get, stuff like that.  it looks like i can get a decent sub for sub $600.

If eD offers a upgraded driver for alittle bit more, go for it. I got an A3 300 w/upgraded driver for $500 and I'm very happy with it.

 You could give the Epik Caliber or Knight a try.

 before i call tech support, does anyone know why the ED sub has small spikes for feet?  would that work on carpet?

by going on price alone the two subs that i would choose would be the klipsch rw-12d or the ED A3-300 

they are both the same price, well the ed sub with the upgraded driver is $25 more.  by rereading the posts i would assume that everyone that responed would reccemond the ed sub.

The spikes are made to pierce the carpet and help couple the sub to the floor.
