DaveWJr Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 We will always have stuff coming... Don't be late to the party, you need one now, you need one now, look into my eyes... Agreed on this. There is no such thing as too much subwoofage for Jay L, so never fear: subs are never far away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappydue Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 And there you have it folks... Now the rest of ya need to go plop down some coin and buy some R-115sw subs. im always skeptical about Klipsch subs but I'm gonna buy a few to try out soon. If they don't live up to their price point it will probably be another 4 years of bad mouthing them compared to other sub manufactures out there. But I'm keeping my hopes up for now.

Montego Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I received my second R-115SW and my Heresy III's! Now I'm just waiting for my Klipschorns! Looking forward to your take on how they sound with khorns... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trentster5172 Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 Looking forward to your take on how they sound with khorns... Me too, but my initial impression is they will be great! They are much more spot on with my LaScalas than the SW-115's as far as bass hit is concerned. I had the SW-115's set at 40hz to extend the LaScalas. These seem to have much cleaner and tighter bass so they are currently at 80hz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coleman Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 but why you two? I haven't heard a good Klipsch sub yet. I'm not saying they are that bad but from what I've heard they can't hold their own to an SVS. Also take into account all the perks you get from SVS. Trade up policy, 45 day in home trial, etc...

Yep Sancho you are correct. I also want to say this is my opinion without actually listening to the new/older 15. Then again after listening to the new 15 I might just change my opinion. Like Sancho said I'm going off of past experiences. I have owned a few of the Klipsch older subs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trade up policy, 45 day in home trial, etc...For Klipsch actually making a good sub, the RSW-15 was/is an excellent sub. Even though my 18's handle all of my LF needs, it can still preform well in that regard, and sounds amazing with music. I'm actually looking forward to hearing everyone's thoughts of the R-115SW, if they're favorable, I might just get one for my two channel setup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to have one or two RSW-15's and be done with it.

I think SVS bulids wonderful subwoofers from the entry level models to the flagship models. Great build quality and peformance at each specific price point. We all know Klipsch can build some rock solid perfoming subwoofers like the RSW subs. With that said, let's give the new offerings a chance while the jury is still out.
