My setup is: Klipsch S10s,Def Tech center 2000,polk505sub.I almost can't hear the S20:very subtle and "weak". Any suggestions?

I hear mine great, I'd check your receiver settings to make sure the DB level is set properly across all channels (speakers)

You amplifier should have level calibrations to balance the sound from all the speakers. If not you might need to turn down the suband or take out the amp but there's not much you can do to decrease the level of the s10s.

Make sure red and white connectors are inserted into color matched audio out ports. Turn speakers on at base unit and make sure volume is turned up. Use + switch on base unit to increase sound level. Hope this helps!

I would check three things.. is there enough bass.. is the sensitivity adjustment correct and is the master / slave switch in its correct setting. Mine came with it in slave mode and I had to switch it to master.

Hey,Well it still sounds like 2.0. Maybe it is the Onkyo settings; specifically in the setup speaker config. maybe it still thinks its 7.1. Sound would be destined for speakers that are not there.Dennis

i have a Polk PSW125 Sub, that i have had for a while, it sounds great with the Klipsch Quintet 5.0 speakers, i think that any good powered sub, will do fine.

These were the Best Buy variant of the B20s. According to Klipsch, the only reall difference is a slightly different crossover point. My guess is that these might be a little warmer than the B20s. Interestingly, these rate better. I have a set and I like them very much.

A different gauge will not help. Check your AVR settings. If you had smaller speakers in the past you probably need to adjust the tone, EQ or similar setting. Also, depending on your system it will sound different based upon the type of surround sound setting used if you have different modes.

I have not a clue, any respectable amplifier with 20 watts RMS from 20-20KHz should do it. I use an Yamaha RX-V573, 70 watts @ 20-20K, 110 @ 1Khz (big whoop). The point is I never need a whole lot of power, read the specs, 96 db 1 Watt/1 meter, pretty efficient, up there in Klipsch RF territory and they sound better than Klipsch RF-62's. If you have a clean old two channel receiver with 50 watts x2 channels, it should be plenty for a good sized room. My listening room is 20' x 11' and along with the F12 these guys always sound great.

Haven't tried that. I will give it a go today or tomorrow. Get back to me then. So I tested the unit on both program content and commercial content. Both were in the range of 38-40 db. Didn't see any difference in the sound level between them.

Weak by itself. I ran a separate sub woofer on my first one. I sent it back to BIC. I think the crossovers were done incorrectly. They sent me a new one, still in box and is for sale

I'm not sure but I would recommend the Klipsch S4i instead, aprox. same price but much better and a lot more comfortable!!

Agree with others--probably just need to adjust your receiver settings or check your sub. My receiver and sub sound great in my room and even outside for gatherings.

just figured this out myself. sounds weak, even when hooked up to a 50 watt per channel amp. volume is literally cut in half. forced to pump the stereo receiver up to twice or more. absolutely dismal, even with a receiver. note to self... going forward, any tv that doesn't have variable out, doesn't get into my shopping cart LOL.

Nothing I tried that and got nothing. .i even bought a y splitter to run 2 sets of speakers and got this loud humming sound!!

Bill, I doubt anything "went wrong", but the Yamaha may not deal with potential impedance differences between your main speakers and your sub. Luckily, Yamaha allows you to set up levels for each set of speakers (front, center, back, sub) from within the setup menus. Using the remote, do the following: setup -&gt; speaker -&gt; level -&gt; scroll down to "sub" and raise the level (default is flat (0db)) until you like how it sounds. hope this helps, gfd

Hi Major Tom. I am probably the wrong guy to answer. I called Klipch directly as I wanted to match the tone, etc of my mains that I have had for close to 20 years. I was leaning toward the rc's as I thought them to be the better speaker. The direction from Klipsch was the C series. I have the C20 center and matched with surrounds. I am quite happy now the I have them dialed in. If it matters, I am using a Marantz 7008. Good luck, JG

Honestly, I was disappointed with the power in the system. Sitting right in front of them was fine, but they are not loud enough for a whole room. If you are looking, spend a little more. I found the Klipsh promedia 2.1 on sale and am happy.
