Which stores sell this? I can't find any. Bestbuy.com used to sell it, sometimes at 20% off. Now they pulled it off. No local store sells it. Klipsch dealers only carry Reference and THX. Why Klipsch has this kind of poor marketing?

I got F-3 and need the C-3. I don't want to settle on C-2. Currently I use my old fronts from Onkyo HTIB connected in series as center and it's OK. But I still wonder if the C-3 wil do a much better job. 

Hello!

The Synergy line was developed specifically for Best Buy, and have historically only been sold in Best Buy.  It seems demand has not been as high for the larger C-3 model, so they choose to pull them.   We are looking for another outlet, possibly Amazon.com soon.

Thank you Amy for your quick reply. Amazon is a great choice. Buy.com has the C-2 at great price but I really want to match F-3 with C-3. These are my first Klipsch speakers. I had known this brand long time ago and was into it for some reason. I think I will get much better reference speakers in the future, too.

That's not good. I recently purchased a pair of F3's from Best Buy on black Friday. (got a killer deal) My next purchase was to be the C3. I have held off on purchasing a set of speakers for this long because I didn't want to be in a situation where I could no longer buy the rest of the matched speakers for a surround sound setup. 

I never knew the synergy line was created specifically for Best Buy. They don't appear to even offer the C3 online anymore.

I sure hope another outlet is found.

The only problem with Amazon.com is shipping will cost a fortune. 

Amazon had free shipping on most goods over $25 unless it's too bulky or heavy. For this speaker I guess it will be shipped free. Buy.com has wonderful sales on a lot of items and usually ship them free. But for the C-2 they do charge on shipping. However, C-2 is small and I don't want it drag the F-3 down.

 Keep an eye on overstock.com - they end up with a lot of BB backstock.

Overstock.com does carry some Klipsch. If they take bb's leftover they may have C-3 sometimes in the future. However, for the past month the C-3 on bestbuy.com always showed "Sold Out" or "back order" till it disappeared. 

 I knew this was going to happen. It's one of the dangers of not buying the entire matched set at
once. The only problem with doing that is it costs a small fortune:

Pair of F-3's = $1000
C-3 = $400
Pair of S-3's = $1000
12' Sub = $500
--------------------------------
Grand Total $2900 (rough estimate of course)

 
Too bad we can't just order them direct from Klipsch.

Only the fronts and center must be matched for good sound. The surrounds are less important and you can use some other model or brand speakers. Klipsch is not very good at making sub and you are certainly fine to use other model or some better brands.

 I have been happy with the mini sub that comes with the pro media 4.1 system.

 Not to go off topic, but what are your qualms with their subs? The only other self powered
subwoofer I have owned was a 15'in Cerwin-Vega. The amplifier died in it after roughly 5 years of
use.

 Hmm, I like our subs, too

I found out from sales that Amazon is closer than I thought to getting these.  They already have a listing here, and should be getting the product in within the next couple weeks.

 That is great news! Thanks for the link!

Good to see Amazon has it. It would be better for Klipsch to sell them also at Buy.com and Costco. In that case one single merchandise won't monoply the price. Amazon seems to sell just at MSRP.  KSW-10 sub will be on sale at Costco in Feb. Good deal. But if you really want a powerful sub Klipsch Sub-12 is excellent.

This is not entirely accurate. Timbre all the way around should be as evenly as possible. Back in the days of Pro Logic 1 & 2 - this was more true than not, as it was purely ambient sound that was back there. Nowadays however - you have significant and primary audio coming from all around... and you do not want to hear a throaty V8 start ahead of you and to the left, passing to the right and towards the area behind you and have it sound like a VW Beetle by the time it gets there. $.02

Also - Klipsch is not only very good at making subs, but some of their models are downright awesome. Fist Of God caliber. :)

Hrm... I think you paid a bit much...

RF-35's = $700
RC-62 (free upgrade due to a bad RC-35) = $280
RS-42's (free upgrade due to out of stock RS-35's) = $350
Synergy Series Sub12 (BB on sale prior to Xmas 2006) = $380
--------------------------------
Grand total $1710

Note: Sound Distributors is where I got all of the Reference series at... they were very good to me. They also sell a COMPLETE RF-35 series package including mains, center, surrounds and sub for $2k.
