D-Rex Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 Okay, I have decided I can expand my budget a little more so tell me which of these two do you believe would make the best 80% HT/20% music subwoofer? Is the RSW out-classed in this battle? Thanks, D-Rex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrWho Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 Spec and price wise they're practically identical. I personally would go with the Klipsch if I was in your situation. However, I have not heard either of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 Typically, dollar for dollar you can get more performance from an internet company than a brick and mortar store. The bad thing is you can't listen to it first and if you don't like it you have to pay freight to send it back. I too have not heard both subs but from what I've read, I would be hard pressed not to buy the Ultra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Peel Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 80% HT I would say the SVS all the way. The Klipsch is good for music with it's punchyness in the mid range, but it can't hang in the low end with the Ultra. I have heard both and I would go the Ultra all the way, you will crap yourself when you watch a movie once you get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The TV-12 driver is a tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEAR Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 No question about that,the TV12 outdisplaces the RSW12 woofer easy,plus SVS subs are in optimal size enclosures and need no EQ! For HT an SVS Ultra will brutalise almost any competing sub using a single 12" woofer besides the Wilson Watch Dog(even more displacement at a $$$$$).The Sunfire Signature hangs in there down to 30Hz,its tiny size makes it impossible to compete with an Ultra below 30Hz.

D-Rex Posted January 25, 2005 Author Share Posted January 25, 2005 Thanks guys! I am getting pretty pumped about finally completing my HT system with a high quality sub! So, unless a very affordable RSW just falls in my lap for virtually nothing (hey, a guy can dream) then I think the Ultra is the sub for me! Best to all!
