fabulousfrankie Posted January 23, 2002 Share Posted January 23, 2002 Anyone heard this sub before? How does it compare to other popular subs? I was interested in picking one of these up on Ubid.com(many sell below $500). I'm aware of it's LFE problem and I'm willing to take a chance and since it has a warranty. Hopefully I can get a little more input first. I currently have 2 Klipsch LF-10's, both in for service. I was thinking of selling one and putting the money towards new towers(Klipsch RF-3). Then I thought instead of living with that one LF-10, I could pick up an Infinity HPS-1000 (one 15" active and two 15" passive, 1000 watt amp). I didn't really get to test the Klipsch out fully because they arrived with the problem, but I figure that if I'm left with one LF-10 then one Infinity should sound better with a 15" and 1000 watt amp. Shouldn't it? Any type of input would be appreciated. Thanx in advance. ------------------ FABULOUSFRANKIE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xj220 Posted January 27, 2002 Share Posted January 27, 2002 I have had the chance to hear both the LF-10's and the HPS-1000 sid-by-side with Klipsch RF-3 II's. I first heard the HPS-1000 it sounded incredible, but really boomy. Musically, yeah it's very good for a 15" sub, but I asked the guy to bring another LF-10 into the room and hook it up to a Yamaha RX-V 3000. I used Star Wars Episode I and Dave Matthew's Band to demo. The LF-10's just blew my mind away, at the low frequency's the LF-10's beat the HPS. Even though I expected the HPS to outperform the LF-10's because of the specs, but the HPS just sounded like crap. It dropped of at around 30hz. The LF-10's basically flat out wooped it's butt. They went way way way louder then the HPS, and outstanding at lower frequency's. With out a doubt, I would go with the 2 KLIPSCH LF-10's. PS I hope this was very helpful.f>------------------ Jim Davis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabulousfrankie Posted January 27, 2002 Author Share Posted January 27, 2002 Thank you very much for the information, it couldn't have been more helpful. You've helped me make up my mind, I'm keeping the two LF-10's. It's a coincidence also that you had it hooked it up to a Yamaha receiver, I have one also(Yamaha HTR-5280/RX-V800). I also use the same material to demo HT equipment. I can't wait for to get them back from Klipsch. ------------------ FABULOUSFRANKIE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
