Rippyman Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I knew they couldn't do without a 15" sub. http://www.klipsch.com/sw-115-subwoofer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBShade684 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Hello SW-115, welcome to my Christmas list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. RF62 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 From the specs...it looks like it'll go high enough that my cats will hear it...150kHz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sivadselim Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Hmmmm. Interesting. It's relatively inexpensive. And pretty plain, too. Looks like they are looking to go head to head with the usual suspects. And 18Hz for $850 is pretty competitive.

K5SS Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 You guys are fast! I thought I could finally add a productive thread... Guess not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I just noticed that the other day. Specs look great, I'm sure it sounds amazing in person! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And 18Hz for $850 is pretty competitive. I would venture to say that the SW-1XX line is set-up to compete sonically with some of the ID competition out there. No money in the aesthetics on this line.

psg Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Nice! A capable 15-inch sub at a competitive price that will be widely available without huge shipping costs. This should be a good seller for Klipsch!Oh yeah, it even ports the Klipsch name on it! Even better for sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenM Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Looks like it has some potential to offer good value for the money at that price. I'd be interested to see how it performs. Hopefully someone like the folks at Audioholics can get their hands on one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rippyman Posted November 10, 2011 Author Share Posted November 10, 2011 For that price though, I would look at SVS subwooffers way before this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sivadselim Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 hat price though, I would look at SVS subwooffers way before this one. Yeah? So, which SVS do you think can match up with that AT THAT PRICE? An Epik Empire, currently @ $799, might compete. Also, I suspect that the SW-115 is going to eventually be available for less than that list price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenM Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Yeah? So, which SVS do you think can match up with that AT THAT PRICE? I don't think anyone here can say with any degree of certainty just yet. Klipsch has the technical knowhow to make a fantastic subwoofer, and the SW-115 could be the new standard bearer of value at its price point. Conversely, it could be a total dog; it's no great secret that Klipsch has made a few of those in the subwoofer category as well. Time will tell where the SW-115 falls.

CECAA850 Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Hopefully they've gotten their amp issues ironed out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groomlakearea51 Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 The SW-110's have been running for several months here and are very, very good. No issues. The SW115 is probably a very good addition to the "no frills, but does the job" line. [H] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rennoc442 Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I would love to see this one and actually touch it. Wonder how its built, hope not like my old sub12 was. I hope Klipsch did this one right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingc Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Hello, I came across the SW-115 while starting to look for a replacement sub for my HT. The specs look good and being a 15", I know it would have to deliver something. I also have looked at a couple of comparable Velodyne's, the DLS 5000R 15" sub and EQ-Max 15". They all seem to have comparable specs and while the DLS 5000 seems to be the older of the bunch and actually on sale at Velodyne it looks attractive anyway. But I don't want to short change myself and we really know nothing about the performance of the SW-115 yet. Can anyone comment on these two Velodyne's? Does the adjustable EQ, wireless all add up to be something really worthy to have vs. the more generic Klipsch? Also considering a 12" sub possibly, But I know I have to get into something with a bit of power to equal the feel you get out of the larger subs. Any help is appreciated Thanks C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo33 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 An Epik Empire, currently @ $799, might compete. The Epik Empire will eat this sub alive in term of tightness, SPL, frequency and THD. Two 15" drivers with 600W RMS in a 140Lbs sealed compact fridge-size enclosure for $799, Klipsch doesn't stand a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neo33 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Klipsch is famous for making accurate and efficient horn-loaded speakers not subwoofers. Epik makes only subwoofers. They currently have two models unlike Klipsch which carry a dozen models. You can only be good at what you do best. Even the top of the line Klipsch P-312W at four grand with maximum acoustic output of 123dB @ 30Hz is no match for the $799 Empire which can do 124dB @ 24Hz.
