Thanks for the link much appreciated. I'm a newbie so this is probably a stupid question but,
You are correct.
Thanks again. I just watched his video from the link you posted. Lot's of good info, and learned some things.
Not worth it. sub is active already (so no need for external amp). Klipsch speakers generally are very efficient so they will not need a lot power power to sound very loud.
I appreciate your time and knowledge. The receiver is running great, not hot or clipping. I haven't equalized sub. I ordered a mic, and being completely honest, I'm kind of worried about screwing something up. I feel confident after watching and reading tutorials I can perform REW measurements. As far as interpreting and knowing what to adjust after, confidence level extremely low.
I've been looking at subs within my budget. Unsure if I should upgrade and get 1 good sub such as a RSL Speedwoofer 12s, SVS, or just add another of what I have to run 2 subs.
"The sensitivity is 86dB @ 2.83v/1m, despite Klipsch rating this speaker at 94.5dB (using in-room, half-space conditions)."
Luckily 95% of what humans notice about sound is frequency response i.e. how loud each frequency is. It's just a matter of flattening any big peaks. Screwing something up is very difficult if you just cut, never boost.
even at 86dB it is not bad - A2A should have no problem pulling 10wpc which make it pretty loud.
buy 2 good subs. 2 good subs > 1 great sub if you have enough space to put them. but your system might need an overhaul so, think about the whole picture first
I'm too vested in my setup besides subwoofer to revamp everything. I know many people don't like Klipsch and consider them low budget. But I really like how my center, bookshelf, and surrounds perform. I'm just trying to get the best sound and imaging out of what I have. Winters are long in Upstate NY and we watch movies quite a bit. Once motorcycle season comes back, the home theater will probably get 20% use of what it gets now.even at 86dB it is not bad - A2A should have no problem pulling 10wpc which make it pretty loud.

yeah it is entirely up to you. Klipsch is not bad per se but there are better alternatives in same price range, if music is important. For movies only they probably do not really matter if they are loud enough and they do not distort too much.
Which actually makes me think of another question. My surrounds are a little behind and to side of listening position. Can I add heights to front stage?
I built some acoustic panels to treat reflection points that are now between wood beams across front stage. They definitely made a difference in sound. I'm going to look into height speakers for sure.
