maciek8791 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Hello, I am ordering now my first klipsch system. I read a lot of very positive opinions on the big 115 unit. However what I discovered on the ebay, that there are several people who try to sell it, because of the "its too big for my room" issue. My room is around 30 square meters. What do You think? I am little bit concerned. Another question, I will order the new line of speakers (8000f,504c etc). Will 115 match in terms of look with this new series, or maybe I have to take one of the new 120 or 100 subwoofers? best regards, M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Unless your room can't accommodate the physical size of the sub there's no room restrictions. Just calibrate to your mains and it's good to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Too big for their room usually means there's a female involved who didn't care for the sub. It's a way for the guy to passively say who wears the pants in the family. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moosee1955 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Ever try to find an audiophile girlfriend/wife? Their far and few. A large sub with large power set low to blend in is a very good thing. I had a friend years back that used a 600 watt sub to blend in with his B&W 802's. Heard a live Roy Orbison DVD on it, pretty amazing sound. You'd swear all the sound was coming out of his 802's. I've always been a subwoofer fan. Just need to find the sweet spot in your room to put it. Preferably where the Mrs doesn't see it!Sent from my N9131 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitrofan Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 If your subwoofer will fit through the door to your house it's not too big. And if it won't, make the door hole bigger or move 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can tell there's a sub in my system because there's no way that mains go that low but if you were blindfolded you couldn't tell where the sub was. Mine is about 10 or 12 ft off the floor and you'd swear that the bass was coming from the mains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moosee1955 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Years back heard an M&K satellite/sub setup. Pretty sweet 3 piece set. Sub placement can be easy or tough. Usually I've found facing 90 degrees opposite of main fronts about 3 feet from side wall works for me. Your mileage may vary.Sent from my N9131 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moosee1955 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I just reread your last post. 10 or 12ft high on the mains? What are you a 7'8" tall basketball player that stands up listening to your stereo? Me I lay back in my recliner, and have my 30 inch high Sansui speakers on 10 inch stands. Puts the tweeter right at ear level, at least for my 6'2" frame.Sent from my N9131 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just need to find the sweet spot in your room to put it. It's a matter of blending with delay and levels and crossover. Ideally need to measure to do it right. Most people just put it in the room and call it good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new ones have a different vinyl plus they have that matte black baffle. They don't really match but unless they're right beside each other it probably don't matter all that much. Stay away from the 10's if you can keep from it. I guess technically the SPL-120 would visually match the best but the 115 digs deeper.

pallpoul Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I use a Klipsch Reference R-115SW with my La scala's II, and they blend nicely, in a medium sized room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockhound Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Go big or go home as they say, you will be fine with that sub in that room. I have a THLP horn sub that is 24"x72" in a 11ftx13ft room :), blends just fine. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
