tzip Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 So, the only difference between the new SPL 12" and the R-112SW is the cabinet is different and it's 2.75 lbs. lighter? Either disappointing or I'm missing something. Is the driver at least upgraded? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoboKlipsch Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 I think you are right unfortunately. Klipsch apparently has more interest in marketing than quality. i could not agree more....repackaging the same sub in the same box and calling it an SPL sub, using the same abbreviation used to designate sub drivers designed for volume over sound quality -- in the car world there are spl and sq subs. you dont buy an spl sub to have a high quality theater sub. SVS is going to continue eating Klipschs lumch and they deserve to, A 12" sub in a good size box should be tuned to 20 imo. 24 and likely 3db down at 24 is weak. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEH Synergy Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 I wish klipsch would make a proper replacement for the RSW15. I'll be honest in stating I haven't heard their newer subs, but based on the feedback, I don't even think I would consider them. Not happy to say that (luckily, I can't say that about MOST Klipsch products). People can have whatever opinion of Klipsch they want, but I allow the music to do the talking for friends and family if they become curious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wil Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 (edited) Really having trouble deciding which is better. Spl-120 or r- 112sw. Can someone please help me with this Edited December 27, 2020 by Wil Incorrect number 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alkemyst Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Older topic, but still relative. The SPL-120 can use the WA-2 for wireless ability. Based on what I have read in blind testing you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference. I just picked up a SPL-120 for $399. Most of the reviews that compare it to other brands "not much more" are out-dated. Most of it's competition is now $300-500 more (like the KEF Kube 12b and SVS options).
