LalaWoots Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Hello all, I am down to choosing the subwoofers for a system I am putting together. It will be comprised of two HIP fronts, one H-SM Heresy slant center and two HIP rears. I would like to choose between one RSW-15 powered sub or two KW-120's with their related KA-1000 amp. Given all variables remain constant, which one would be a better fit for the speakers I have? The RSW15 is less expensive than the two KWs and amp and I could save that cash towards a preamp. I would be listening to two channel music along with 5.1 movies. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRR Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 The THX subs are better subs. Overpriced but better in every way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoboKlipsch Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 to add to jasons....age is a factor rsws are old even in good shape get an rsw if u want the historically coolest consumer sub get the thx if you want the better performer both are good but the rsw is old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Plus you'll have 2 subs in stead of one which can be more beneficial in correcting room issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjptkd Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Get the Ultra 2's and use the subs as stands for the front HIP's, works out perfect or at least it did for me. Those THX subs have so much output that corner loading isn't really needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrappydue Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Another vote for the. Ultras. Very musical subs. Loved mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hasty Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Another vote here for Ultra 2 subs. They are powerful yet never sound boomy or intrusive with music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
