Why doesn't Klipsch make a better sub?

If you want another good source for a subwoofer test, go to the Danley Labs website and download the Fireworks recording, there is content down to DC on it. About 3 minutes and 20 seconds in there is a big burst of low frequency energy..... beware as most subs will not take it at all.... especially ported ones, unless they have a high pass in which case they should not bottom out.

It is a .zip file that is 25 megs, before unpacking. You must have high speed and winRAR to unpack it, at that point you can burn it to a CD. Beware that it features a dynamic range of 70 DB, and is very quiet until the big bangs occur. There is a warning at the site as well...[:P]

:)

The sales staff at Magnolia Home Theater will LOVE this demo!

The RW-12d is a new(ish) model and replaced the RW-12 adding digital control and a few other nice features.

It should be noted that the other subs you mention are larger in internal volume and it gets easier to offer performance as the cabinet size increases. The market today is very strong for small subs and we are always trying to keep our subs as small as possible while offering performance that we believe will make people happy. However, we understand that some people are not bothered by large cabinets. There are lots of subs that choose a different formula for success than we choose.

If you want a sub with higher performance from Klipsch, try the RSW-10d or one of our RT subs.

I received my VTF3.2 yesterday, and I now understand what this guy was talking about. The size of this sub would make the average person at CC fall over.

One company that many people overlook when it comes to subs is

Earthquake sound. I picked up my MK-IV 10 off ebay BNIB for 374.99

shipped. It is awesome. It plays 16hz and lower no problems with good

SPL. And its the smallest sub (other than the Thor) that Earthquake has

made. I would love to see how the new MKVIs do, especially with the

room correction...

I wouldn't overlook it. Great reputation. Do they still make a design using a passive radiator?
