  • Klipsch continues to deliver quality sound
Number of Items: 1
The Klipsch R-12SW Subwoofer is a fantastic addition to my audio setup and a worthy successor to the Klipsch subwoofer it replaced, which lasted me over 15 years. I’ve been a huge fan of Klipsch speakers since I first discovered them in the mid-90s, and when it came time for a replacement, there was no question I’d stick with the brand. While I wouldn’t call myself an audiophile, I can confidently say the quality of this subwoofer is exceptional, especially for its price. The advancements in technology over the past decade are immediately noticeable. The bass tones are clear, precise, and powerful without the muddiness I’ve experienced with other non-Klipsch subwoofers in the past. The build quality of the R-12SW is also top-notch. The sturdy, well-constructed box plays a significant role in delivering clean and resonant bass. Whether watching movies or listening to music, this subwoofer performs exceptionally well across various sound profiles. Klipsch continues to deliver on its reputation for high-quality audio equipment. The R-12SW Subwoofer is a clear demonstration of why I’ve stuck with the brand for decades. It offers an impressive blend of performance, durability, and value that’s hard to beat. Whether you’re a seasoned audiophile or just someone who appreciates high-quality sound, this subwoofer won’t disappoint. Highly recommended! ... show more

  • Incredible Performance and Value
Number of Items: 1
I was setting up a new music room in my basement, and renewing the subwoofer for my home theater, so I purchased 10" and 12" Klipsch subwoofers at the same time. This 12" model is a old model (and cheaper), but it delivers more comforting bass in comparison to the 10" model for sure. The only downside is that it is rather large. 10" model is now with my home theater system (where main and center speakers are also Klipsch), as it is good enough for movie watching and casual music listening. I use this 12" one in my music room, as it is better for critical listening. I paired it with Yamaha R-N800A integrated amplifier and Focal Theva #1 speakers, and they collectively make incredible sound. I just have to be careful with the Gains knob, as this subwoofer can literally shake the whole house. I set the crossover to 80hz, and put gain at about 1/4, which is quite enough for music listening. ... show more

  • WoW . My second one. Buy while still available.
Number of Items: 1
The media could not be loaded. This is my second one. I bought one couple years ago when it first came out with other klipsch home theater system . The sub did not disappoint, so as the speakers. My system setup was 5.1. So, I recently decided to upgrade my home theater system to Dolby atmos, as my denon receiver keeps displaying it even I don’t have the setup. First thing I do is look if I can still find this sub, and was surprised to find it and cheaper . Bought it with pair of atoms speakers. Now I have 5.2.2 . And I’m loving it. The sub is well build , easy to setup and the sound quality is superb. Buy it now ... show more

  • House Shaking Bass
Number of Items: 1
This thing is awesome. I made a big mistake when I traded away my old Boston Acoustics XB6 subwoofer a few years ago. I purchased an Onkyo 7.1 speaker set and was using just the sub that came with it... it did okay, but bottomed out very easily. I finally decided it needed to be replaced, so I went with this Klipsch based on reviews I read here. It arrived well within the stated delivery window, and was up and running in less than 5 minutes. Let me tell you, this thing goes loud and deep. It shakes the walls! You know that scene in Game of Thrones where they blow up all of the ships? I thought it was going to wake the neighborhood! There's virtually no break-in period. It sounded great from the first minute. It's aesthetically pleasing, too. The veneer almost looks like black brushed aluminum, and the golden cone is nice to look at. And the cost is less than my old Boston that I had missed so much. Worth the buy! Go for it! Update 9/24/16: Well, after three months of normal use, the driver developed a rattle. It sounded like wires slapping the inside of the box,so I took the driver out, taped down any loose wires I saw, and plugged it back in. Still rattled. It was the driver itself. It still put out plenty of bass, but that rattle was annoying. I contacted the seller, and they basically said, sorry. Can't help. Window is closed. Contact the manufacturer. I asked if they were an authorized Klipsch dealer (because Klipsch's website says they only warranty items bought from authorized dealers) and got no answer. So I contacted Klipsch. They said nope, we won't honor the warranty because Bubba Goo Goods is not an authorized Klipsch dealer, and we can't vouch for them or their equipment. But, they did sell me a replacement woofer for $84. Three business days later, it arrived and I installed it. Rattle is fixed. Just wanted people to be warned. Amazon pricing is great, and we take advantage of the deals, but buyer beware. Amazon can be like the TJ Maxx of the internet. The prices are lower for a reason. Update 5/2/18: The replacement driver I purchased directly from Klipsch is still going strong. I haven't had another issue with the sub or any of its components since the rattle incident. I am still very pleased with this sub. ... show more

  • Exceeded expectations after receiving. Customer Support was out of this world AMAZING!
Number of Items: 1
It arrived later than expected, but once it was installed, it operated great. I had a few questions about the configuration after working on it for many hours. Put a call into customer service and they were BEYOND INCREDIBLE! Got the Subwoofer and all of my system doing things I did not know it could do. Nothing but praise about the quality of the product. The fact that it was one of the lower cost systems makes this a MUST purchase. ... show more
