After that I listened to a lot of speakers, and ended going with a full Klipsch RP series setup. A lot of people said they're too bright, but they sound perfect to my ears. I've been really happy with them. I'm no sound engineer but I am a musician if that means anything or not, I don't know... Maybe the Klipsch are bright, but I thought the ELACs sounded dull and muddy, so maybe my ears like bright speakers. I know this doesn't apply to subwoofers but long story short, I don't go by speaker sound reviews anymore. It's tough to know what will sound good to you compared to a reviewers ears... Reviews are good for build quality but to me thats about it... So I guess it depends on what they said in the reviews.
I say go listen to as many speakers as you can till you find some that sound good to you.
I've tried both and the r112sw was noticeably louder and sounded better to me. But whether its worth almost double the price is questionable. Depends on a lot of things... your finances and what you would like to spend, how big of a room you're using it in, whether you currently have a sub or not, etc.
If you don't have a sub now, the cheaper one would make a huge difference... The r112sw is a noticeable upgrade, but you would have to decide if its worth it to you.
Yamaha receivers are good.
I would save, spend more on an HSU, that Monoprice deal that is out there, SVS, or Rythmik. What is likely to happen here is you spend $300 and want to upgrade it in 18 months, and then spend $600-700 to get one of those which I mentioned

In my case, there were so much port noise and even though it was loud it sounded worse than Bic-12 it was replacing.

People who hate on these speakers almost always didn't drive them correctly.
You need a great amp to drive them. I own the UB5s and they blew me away. It's so important to look up your amplifiers ohms to see if you are powering them correctly.
I get so tired of seeing people hating on these speakers. They are truly amazing and audiophile status.

Other one is maybe a sale on this:

if it hits their outlet section scratch and dent or something

Not fair to compare the 2, but even a PB1000 which also isn't fair to compare.. SVS just isn't fair to compare to Klipsch

better yet, buy both and test them, and let me know how right I am
Also I swear I'm not an SVS fanboy, but if you buy direct from SVS, you get the bill of rights, so if the price drops in 60days you get auto refund + 45 day in home test and returns, + so much more
If you're on the fence...buy it...try it...don't like it...return it.
