    • Great Upgrade if Your Old Subwoofer Is Worn Out
I bought the Klipsch R-8SW to replace an older subwoofer that had lost its punch. This one made a huge difference immediately. The bass is cleaner, tighter, and much more noticeable when watching movies or listening to music. What I like: • Strong bass for its size – The 8-inch driver hits harder than I expected. • Very clean sound – Not muddy or boomy like my old sub became over time. • Easy setup – Plug into the receiver’s sub output, adjust gain, done in minutes. • Compact size – Fits easily in a living room without taking up a lot of space. • Great build quality – Solid cabinet and the brushed black finish looks sharp. Real world use: Movies feel more immersive, especially during action scenes. Music also sounds fuller with much better low end. It blends nicely with my surround speakers instead of overpowering them. Possible downside: If you’re trying to fill a very large room or want extremely deep theater-level bass, you may want a larger sub. But for small to medium rooms this thing performs great. Bottom line: If your old subwoofer is worn out or weak, this is an excellent replacement. Klipsch makes solid gear and this one delivers strong, clean bass at a very reasonable price. Highly recommended. ... show more

    • Great small room sub! Wont disturb the neighbors. Music and movies both sound great!
Perfect for studio/small apartment! I wanted something that would provide bass for a small room but not shake the walls and windows and upset the neighbors. This speaker is it! You can fine tune it for your listening preference and honestly if you have it up far enough it will rattle the walls no problem. I leave it about half way and thats perfect for me. Also has a small footprint and goes almost unnoticed. I had an older Pioneer powered sub with dual 6.5s. This is much better sounding. I listen to a mix of music and movies and the sub works great for both. Dont expect booming low level bass because thats not what this is. It does a nice job even at high levels. It just doesnt rumble your dome off! ... show more

    • Great sub for the money, easy to set up.
Got this when building a new home entertainment center. I am by no means a sound expert. This subwoofer sounds great, it's easy to set up, pretty good value as far as I can tell. As for appearance, it's a generic black box sitting in the corner of my living room. It isn't trying to be a central point of the room. Connectivity was easy, you just need to get a subwoofer cable. ... show more

    • Pops when you turn it off! 😠 Pops when you turn it off! 😠
Review Image by Terry
Slick, compact, powerful, pet-friendly down-fitting woofer. Almost great. It's not wireless, which I don't mind. You can always adapt it. It's also the smallest sub from Klipsch. Unfortunately, there is no soft power down. When the signal cuts off, there is a pop. Maybe it's my speakers, but those are Klipsch the Fives. This should not be happening! Oh, the low bass is powerful. Keep it at 80hz- it is not punchy. Even though it's effective and easily overpowers a room, it's relying on excursion of the smaller woofer. Therefore, bass heads living in open barns should size up. This unit's Achilles heel is dynamics (and punch, thus keep it crossed over low for lots listening). It still will put down way more rumble than you need-and as much as anyone should probably want. To be fair, I find I turn it down for most movies and shows-almost never up. I've never had a problem with to much bass for any music-not even old school 90s Miami bass rap. ... show more

    • Klipsch never fails to deliver
Absolutely an amazing subwoofer. Zero complaints with klipsch and their products, everything is made very well and tuned perfectly. For a little 8’ sub, this thing absolutely packs a mean punch, super deep lows and extremely clean sound. Perfect for a better than standard desktop setup or a small surround sound system. Klipsch never fails to deliver a good product. Absolutely recommend spending the extra few bucks to get klipsch if your looking for a budget setup. Just don’t crank that gain knob!! ... show more

    • Just right.
Bought used. Clean. Sounds great no problems. Replaced a 25 year old 10” Cerwin Vega. The new 8” Klipsch fits neatly out of sight in the entertainment center. It is able to provide more bottom end at volume than I will ever need. Great value for the money.

    • Sound Stage Improvement
Complements my Klipsch RP-600M Speakers and helps improve the sound stage in my listening room. Completely satisfied. Well worth the $179.00.

    • Great subwoofer for the price!
I purchased this to replace an old Definitive SuperCube subwoofer that had failed. I did quite a bit of research, reading multiple reviews from several audio review websites. I must admit to being skeptical that this subwoofer, which cost much less than my Definitive subwoofer, would be as good. I am happy to report that the Klipsch R-8SW is as good as my old Definitive subwoofer. ... show more
