Klipsch is the best for the money in my opinion! October 15, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I have a Klipsch home theater speaker system that includes RP3's for my fronts (built in 10" sub with 300W amp in each), RC3II for a center channel and RS35's in white for my rears. I absolutely love Klipsch speakers. To me they offer the best sound reproduction without "coloring the music or movie soundtrack. For the past 6yrs I have used the two subs in my towers for the lows. I use Monster bi-wire for the RP3's and I wired the LFE inputs to the sub output of my reciever (Y-cable). To me that seemed sufficient. Boy was I missing out. I always wanted a dedicated sub but didnt want to spend the money for something that would compliment my exsisting Reference speakers. I looked at and sampled many subs including Sunfire, Velodyne, Martin Logan Grotto, Klipsch RW10d and RW12d. They all had their pros and cons. Sunfire and Martin Logans cons are mainly the price. That would be the case for the RSW-10d also but this deal I found on Amazon was too good to pass up. Most people dont want a Cherry sub but who cares. Its a sub. Its suppose to be felt not seen. Im all about the sound. My rears are white. Not because I wanted white speakers but because someone else didnt so I got them for less than half price brand new in the box from a retailer. They ordered all black speakers and half of their shipment came in white. Back to the RSW-10d. Do not buy this sub if you have only speaker level outputs on you reciever because this sub does not have speaker level inputs. Im a fan of digital anything. This sub has no knobs which I like. The LCD screen and menu buttons does the job it needs to. Nothing fancy or unneccessary and you can lock the buttons so the kids can change your setting by accident. Its capable of being controlled by remote but no remote is included. For those with Logitech remotes, mine works it just fine. This is a raw, get the point, give me the lows so I can belt them out sub. I waited for the house to empty and I tested the new sub on the movies Titan A.E., Transformers, Jurassic Park and The Haunting. There was no low it couldnt reach and it did it without the "boomyness" you hear with many bargain or just plain big subs. When listening to music the bass is very full and tight thanks to Klipsch's cerrametalic cones. I didnt like the fact that the active woofer on the rear of the sub does not have a cover (the picture shows the front and that woofer is a passive radiator). For the money ($500) I believe this is the best sub deal on the net and believe me I have been looking for a long time. If I didnt have the "wife factor" I would get a second to sooth my "Tim the Tool Man Taylor" craving for more SPL's. You get plenty of output with one so be careful not to O-D on two. If you do get this sub, watch out for the gut shot because thats what it feels like when you get this thing going. This sub exceeded all of my expectations and it takes up very little floor space if thats an issue.
