Klipsch RT-10d Demo/Audition

[atleer]

I was finally able to demo this sub. I've been looking forward to doing so for quite sometime.

I found it to be unfortunate that the dealer didn't have the
best room set-up. I had spoken with them ahead of time, and they were
able to get one set up for when I arrived. The room was pretty
cluttered, and they didn't have the speakers or sub in an ideal
placement. Due to time constraints, I was unable to re-position
everything.

<> Overall, I was quite pleased, as the sub had
great articulation and blended extremely well with the mains. Which, I
might add, was my first experience with the RF-83's. Very nice indeed.



I do feel the 83's were too much speaker for the room and sub. I
currently have the RF-3 II's. So I am not concerned about that issue if
I get one home. I'm considering an upgrade within the next year to the
63's...but another issue another time....

<><> <>I was
bummed that the sub, which they had just unboxed, had a glue residue
all across the top. I'm sure this was from the protective plastic. Has
anyone else had problems with this? The dealer said he would be sending
that unit back to get replaced, but I of course would not want to run
into such a situation. I'm sure cleaner would get it right off, but
hopefully not the finish as well.

I'm still working on the WAF, $ wise. But hopefully soon I'll be able to give personal feedback from my set-up.

<>For the meantime, I would love to hear any other impressions people could share.

Thanks

The RT-10d should do just great in a room up to 2000cu ft,and even stretch this to 2500cu ft with optimal positioning. I do notknow what room size you plan to use this sub,but in most rooms it will supply good energy down to 25hz.And remain clean in the bandwith it covers,all they way to the limit! As was noticed on the RT-12d by Mr Mullen in his extensive review.

My RT-10d stands next to mt RSW series tower almost in the corner.Klipsch subs being very clean do not suffer from as much sonic degradation being placed in corners(to me degradation at this point is large BUMPS in frequency,or room coloration). By opening the sub I am happy to see a high quality woofera nd PR's ,just like its larger brother the RT-12d.

WAF should be great,as it fits well in a corner and its out of the way. The top LCD screen on mine was ok,but the store RSW10d has a minor issue,a tiny scratch near the control pod...tiny.You had to look well to see it.But me being picy I saw it. No cosmetic flaws to report on my unit.
