I just upgraded to Klipsch RB-81 fronts and a RC-62 center. Now I need to upgrade my sub. My room is about 6000 cubit feet. Should I stay with Klipsh or go to SVS?

You can save a lot of money going with SVS. There are other subs that would be a much greater value than the Klipsch. I own a Klipsch center channel speaker, but I prefer internet subs. I also own an SVS 20-39PCi that I got as B-Stock for $550 plus shipping. It is in perfect condition. Another great internet brand is HSU.

All the Best

SVS or HSU or AXIOM or AV123 all have fantastic subs, and will CR@P all over any/every Klipsch sub...

I went from 2 Klipsch subs to 1 SVS PB12-Plus/2, 2 times the price of a Klipsch, and would likely double that money again on my next sub... :)

GET A REAL SUB.... You won't regret it for a second... BASS Adiction is great !!!

My previous sub was a Klipsch RW-12d, It had very clean bass and made it down to about 25hz without any problem but it suffered from some port noise issues when pushed (certain situations , not all the time) One nice feature on the Klipsch was the ability to adjust everything (gain / phase / crossover / 3 EQ presets etc.) from a digital display located on top of the sub, It was also very nice looking without the speaker cover on, I ended up replacing it with an HSU 3.3 w/ Turbo and have no regrets , the HSU doesnt look quite as pretty but sound quality wise it does everything better and is capable of sub 20hz bass, best of all I haven't heard a hint of port noise from it.

Having Klipch speakers is no reason to buy a Klipsch.

The only way I'd buy a Klipsch sub is if I got some kind of crazy deal on it.
