ballards_law Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 Anyone have anything to say about the Klipsch RW-12? I'm thinking of buying one for home theater use. Is the RSW-12 WAY better? Any other sub brands I should consider in the same class as the RW-12? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ygmn Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 Several threads on this... they are different subs and have way different prices.... RSW is better....but costs way more... I suggest listening to them at a local dealer.... Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovie Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 I bought the RW-12 after reading much about the rw-10, rw-8, and all the synery series subs, the rw-12 was the best for the buck. Now that I have it and having heard the rw-10, ksw-10, and the ksw-12, I am extremely pleased with my purchase it is amazing in my 23'x17' room. The rsw-12 along with the rsw-10 are an entirely different class of sub, and you will find price class too! It is not a fair comparison. For the money the rw-12 is a kick --s sub.

ballards_law Posted February 9, 2004 Author Share Posted February 9, 2004 The SVS PC Plus VS. the Klipsch RW-12? Anyone have thoughts on that? This is the SVS I was looking at: http://www.svsubwoofers.com/subs_pcplus_25-31.htm Similar price range...a few $100 higher but sounds pretty good. I don't know as much about this stuff as some of you audio nuts out there so let me here some input. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m00n Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 Ahhh, you know what? I missread your post heading... I have the RSW-12. However, I'm sure sub you asked about is good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre_Roy Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 Hey I can tell you about the two sub's that you are looking at . I have the RW-12 , I use it mainly for the home theater , the daughter uses it for HIP HOP , RAP ect...ect,,, , this speaker will rumble my room ( 15 x 20 ) , i like it very much ,,,,, cheeper than the RSW-12 sub My brother , he is the music and movie nut . He has 2 RSW-12 subs , his room .. Oups.. HOUSE .. Vibrates .. very clean and clear , He is a Klipsch head , hell our hole family is ....No other vote from here , because i dont know anything else . I would say , for you to talk to your dealer and bring both of those subs home and listen to them both , Movies ,,music , Rock , Rap,, Jazz ,,, & Mozart ,,,,classical , big band , Do yourself a favor , do all of this testing before you purchase a sub , this will eliminate any second guessing later on with time . The Klipsch dealer that my family has been dealing with for over 20 years is very good , to us i guess , D&R Vacume , Go figure EH , a vacume store to go and bye a high end sound system . its all good.. Sorry for all of the babbel ,,, Try both of the out one will rumble you , the other will vibrate you . the are both great sub's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny TN Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 I went from a KSW-12 to RW-12... big improvement.. the KSW cant handle things at all. The RW-12 is about twice as good..I have also heard the RSW-12 and RSW-15 and they put the RW12 to same as well. But I will live with the RW-12 for now because of the price.

Thanks! ---------------- The RW-12 is one bad *** sub and being front fire/ported it makes your placement options better. What mains do you have? U might not need the 12 .... a 10 might do depending on what suze ur room is. peace, mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
