Future RSW-15 II


Tremors

Recommended Posts

+1. I heard the rsw-15 and wasn't very impressed but I think it wasn't setup right at all. However I'd buy another rsw-10d if they made it or a12" version of it. They should. Even know they were a bit pricier they just need to hire someone to do some scouting (me) of the Internet brands and find a comfy price point for their performance!

That could be the issue. Mine was good enough to replace dual Velodyne HGS15's. I "feel" with the RSW-15 what I got when I added a second Velodyne HGS15 to my setup. One HGS15 "sounded" awesome but just didn't have the "impact" that I was wanting to feel. I use mine mostly for movies.

I am going by memory here and I am hoping he can help me out, but when i bought my rt-12d from themrclean, he said he got it from a Klipsch employee and said Klipsch employee also had an rt-15d prototype. I think they should release that.

You are absolutely right, I have witnessed the world's only RT-15D. It's funny because I couldn't decide whether to make the drive to buy the RT-12D or not and then he told me about the RT-15D which was worth the 2 hour drive alone. This thing dwarfed the RT-12D it was so big! If I remember right he said that when they were planning and designing the sub the wattage was 1200 RMS / 2600 MAX and it would have retailed at $2,800. Supposedly he had turned down offers of $4000, said he would keep it forever, can't say that I blame him.

Where do I vote?

We are just asking everyone to raise their hand if they are in favor.

Oh in that case if this is the place I vote heck ya! Especially if they will offer it in cherry veneer to match my RF 7IIs

I'd be very interested but it will have some stiff competition in the $2k range. Klipsch has made a few underperforming subs over the years and those subs have created some negative opinions. If you are going to bring back the 15" Klipsch Reference moniker, i's say make it a max effort. Anyway, I would obviously be in for one!

It was $1800 retail, just too much and I really like the rsw15. I bought mine new on the internet back in the day when you still could. I paid $1150 delivered I think it was, with full warranty from the seller ( a great company at that time). I owned almost every sub of the day in the $ range and the RSW was easily the most musical,my criteria.

I'm all for a new and improved RSW-15 but they would need to sharpen their pencil and get the price right. I would not pay $2000 for an RSW-15, not unless it was a giant killer while still retaining it's incredible musicality.
