RyanKlipschSpeakers

Update: I ended up buying both and tried them out this weekend. All I can say about the SW-112 is....holy smokes. So powerful and blends really well with my RP peripherals. I have to turn the gain down below 50% to not overpower but it still sounds great. I didn't know what I was missing with my crappy old HTIB sub. I liked the R-120SW as well (much better than my old one) but compared to the SW-112 it wasn't as smooth so I returned it and kept the 112. Bonus points: the 112 looks really nice as well. My only question: I can't figure out the On/Auto/Standby switch (picture attached). There are 3 options: 1. Top position (I assume this = ON) - in this position the green LED is always on regardless of if the receiver is on or off; when there is a signal from the receiver the sub makes sound 2. Bottom (I assume this = OFF) - in this position the LED never turns on, regardless of receiver being on or off; also never makes sound 3. Middle position (I assume this = AUTO) - this position depends on where the switch came from previously: If I land here from the Top/ON spot, the LED stays on (since it was already on from the Top/ON spot) and it continues to make sound (again, already making sound in the ON position) If I land here from the Bottom/OFF spot, the LED stays off and continues to NOT make sound I didn't know a 3-position switch could be this complicated. Ideally I'd like the sub to come on when the receiver does, then go into standby/power save mode when the system is not in use. I obviously don't want to toggle switches every time I want to hear my speaker. Any suggestions? Thanks again for the input. switch.pdf

Willand - thanks, glad to be here. Looks like a wealth of info to tap into. So it sounds like you believe the extra $175 is worth it based on the specs. Thanks for the feedback. Wondering if anyone else has firsthand experience with them - either owned both or at least listened to both enough to tell the difference.

I'm looking to purchase a 10-12" sub to match my RP Klipsch set (RP 250F, RP 250C, RP-140SA). I am looking at the R-120SW ($225 black Friday price) or the R-112SW ($399). As far as I can tell the 112SW seems to be superior despite being an older model, but is it worth an extra $175? If so, at that price point should I also be considering the SPL-120 for $50 more ($449)? Really was hoping to spend <$350 so I'd want the 112SW or SPL to be noticeably better for the extra money. Context: My room is 19' x 19' and I'm not a bass "enthusiast", i.e. I don't listen to rap, not trying to shake the walls/piss my wife off even more, etc. Just want solid, clean bass to match my peripherals. Currently using a 10" Onkyo that came from an 10+ year old home-theater-in-a-box set so I'm assuming upgrading to any of these will be worth it. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks
