mr84monte Posted May 4, 2001 Share Posted May 4, 2001 Has anybody hooked up a sw 12 and ksw 12 on the same system? Just wondering how it sounded. Since it's hard to find another sw 12 (med oak) Thought about just trying a ksw 12 out from the store first, before I buy, but if someone has already tried the set up, please let me know. My sw 12 is lonely, and needs a brother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BobG Posted May 6, 2001 Share Posted May 6, 2001 Though they both have 12" active drivers, the difference is substantial. Remember that the SW-12 was $1100 while the KSW-12 is less than half of that. This is not like computer gear where the price of everything drops monthly. While the KSW-12 is extremely popular, I don't think it is going to be a match for your SW-12. The new RSW-12 on the other hand ought to make you pretty happy indeed. It's only available in black, but the new RSW-15 will be available in three real wood finishes. Alas, none will be the medium oak of your SW-12. Why is life so complex? I know, put that SW-12 in the center or rear of your system, that's what I do with the two I have, and get the RSW-15. You won't believe it.

dtximages Posted June 2, 2001 Share Posted June 2, 2001 I wouldnt mix those two subs up. The sw12 IMO is a much better sub. I had the ksw and sold it fast. If you read the reviews, theyre closely compared to JBL and CV subs and I dont like that. That sub bottomed out all the time. HOWEVER, I was in a local store the other day and listening to some def techs when this AWSOME BASS came rumbling through the room so I began searching for the sub cuz i know these wimpy def techs could never do this. I found a ksw10 behing my couch and it was moving the room. Hmmm, I still prefer the sw. Its sonically different and twice the price. It also depends on which speaks youre using. WAIT FOR THE NEW SUBS. I personally dont like the ksw line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
