gbrlex Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 We are looking at the KSW-12 sub to go with some Epic CF-1 speakers in a HT setup. Any thoughts on what we can expect in performance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudman21 Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 I am glad you mention in your initial question that you have CF-1's. What can you expect in performance? That depends now on what kind of power you are talking.....Blindly comparing, your CF-1's can do quite well already, so I feel you are going to need a little more intensity and dynamic than what the KLF-12 can deliver. Don't get me wrong, but the KLF-12 is not a powerhouse. You may consider the RSW-10 or 12; however, the price tag goes up quite a bit. Bottom line? How much are you willing to spend? What kind of power do you have to your CF-1's? Size of the room? Sound quality desired? Spudman21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrench722 Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 I have large room and I realy like my RWS-15's They sound very good and hit pretty lowe and very clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all that much (relatively) if you've got cf-1's for mains. The ksw will add some boom but not much to the low end. Check out the sub-12 if you're keeping a tight budget. http://www.klipsch.com/product/product.aspx?cid=930&s=specs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frzninvt Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Your question should have been "How bad is the KSW-12 subwoofer" I bought a brand spanking new KSW-15 from a Brick and Mortar Authorized Dealer. It listed at $750 and I got it for $500 and it was the biggest piece of junk that I have ever owned. Save your money and look elsewhere. The RW-12 or SUB-12 or the as mentioned are better options. The RSW-12 will be a step above those and there will be a couple new subs coming out soon from Klipsch that will best them all supposedly.

TheEAR Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Have to agree,the KSW's are GARBAGE to my ears.Colored and great for those who value bass coloration over neutrality and linearity. [:$] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 If you like boom ,boom and have a very small room,they would be good for your first sub purchase,But as mentioned i would look into the sub12,or better yet look for a used rsw10.You will end up just reselling the ksw subs.
