Klipsch LF-10 Placement & Configuration Advice

I'm looking to get some guidance on sub-woofer placement and also (more importantly) configuration (specifically the LF-10). You can view my system in the "virtual systems" under the name "Man Cave System". I don't have very much knowledge in this area and would greatly appreciate any help. I have my sub connect to my pre-amp via a single rca (Kimber KCAG 1m "Y" cable) to a 5m run of JPS Labs Supercondutor Plus into the L & R rca inputs on the sub.

Thank you,
Mike

Todd,

I have my KLF-20's a little more than 2ft away from the back wall. I think that they sound good but improvements can always be made. From the way that I've read your comment, I'm concerned you are saying that the SS Sufire is not a good matching amp for these speakers? Is it the case that these speakers will only sound good with tube amps?

I'm sure there are some SS amps that these speakers sound good with, but at least in my case, those horns were way too edgy with every solid state system I tried. Jolida integrated helped, Bottlehead SE amps helped more.

I don't agree that the Klipsch KLF-20s only sound good with tube amps. I have used a variety of solid state amps with these speakers and have had very good results.

Bobgates - Is your room very well damped? Have you tried a SET with the klipsches? What SS amps have you tried?
