Will the KSW-12 keep up nicely with the Rx-3s?

I heard someone say that the KSW-12 sometimes could not keep up with the Rx-3 speakers, is this true?

"keeping up" is pretty subjective. what it really means is loudness or spl imho. others will say that it's something like the transient response, though that's also really subjective & difficult if not impossible to measure scientifically.

imho it's hard for many subs to "keep up" w/ many klipsch speaks because the klipsch are so damn efficient/loud. Biggrin.gif

oh, almost forgot the disclaimer: given the subjectivity, listen to them together & as many others as possible & let thy ears be the guide Smile.gif

& as long as i'm editing here, might i suggest that u also try some others like a paradigm pw2200 or velodyne ct-150, or www.svsubwoofers.com ?

might prefer them over the current klipsch sub offerings at least until their new (& more expensive) subs arrive in the next few months.
