Klipsch - Reference Series 10" 150W Powered Subwoofer - Black

I have this 150W subwoofer combined with the two book shelf speakers, two floor speakers and a center speaker. All are Klipsch in the same Reference Series. When testing this speaker, I did it in combination with the speakers I listed, as well as independently to see how it sounds alone. As a group, the speakers worked well together. The well balanced highs, mids and bass really sound great. At first glance, the sub is very attractive. It has a nice black faux wood look, and matches the rest of the speakers. The grill looks great and does not hamper the performance. This is the 150W model, not the 400W you see in the Magnolia section of Best Buy. It is more than sufficient for my set up and really provides the smooth bass I wanted to compliment the grouping of speakers. I don’t feel I needed more, and after installing everything I still feel the same way. When I tried it by itself, obviously I don’t get the same balanced sound out of the one bass producing sub. But the sound is great and it does its job well. Definitely happy with this one. Running this off a Onkyo receiver that has 4K compatible sound, I really like the results of the set up. Alone of grouped with the other speakers, this is a great sub for the above average audiophile. For my man cave, I love the set up and now I can watch what I want or listen to what I want with extreme quality sound. I definitely recommend it someone that wants either a solid performing subwoofer. This thing simply performs and you will love it. I really don’t think I need the 400W model and it would have required more power to get the optimal performance out of it. This was perfect for me.

My family and I love good audio systems. We love having a great home theater system and adding these to them was a good decision. I have used these for music (from Beethoven to Drake), gaming (Overwatch), and movies. These sound awesome and add good clean, tight bass. I was honestly concerned that 10" would be too small for my home theater, but these can still fill the room! Now it definitely doesn't have the OOMPH of a 12" or 15" but man I was blown away by how open they sound. I think they work well with any system. I do think that the 10" puts out a cleaner bass compared to the 12" so you have to weigh the pros and cons of having more of that sweet OOMPH or having tighter bass. If you live in an apartment or other living situation then definitely these are as high as I would go. I would definitely go in and try to listen and compare the choices if you have the chance because they're obviously not for everyone. They look beautiful. I don't even put the grills on them because man they look great. They have that modern feel and definitely makes my setup look elegant. So these are not quite as powerful as the older brother R120SW with the 12 inch. If you really want more explosive sound, you really can't go wrong with the the R120SW. However, these are still very good and produce excellent sound. All in all, I think these are a great addition to any home theater/audio system.

OVERALL This subwoofer delivers with impressive build and sound quality. WHY I LIKE IT This 10" sub has enough power (150w RMS) to effortlessly provide that 'oomph' to kick-drums and body to bass guitar; while maintaining the composure needed to assist the sound of organs, cellos, upright bass, and timpani swells. With the gain below 25%, the room (15' x 20') is filled with bass. The build-quality is also excellent. I like that the dials, nobs, grommets are made from quality metal. Aesthetically, the copper driver is pleasant to look at :) The footprint is also small enough to fit under my coffee table with a little extra room. CONSIDERATIONS Make sure that you got a quality subwoofer cable when purchasing. This subwoofer does not come with one. MY SETUP I got this subwoofer connected to my old but good Oknyo receiver, and paired with Sony Core floor standing speakers (SS-CS3). With the crossover set at 60hz, the system sings nicely. Cheers!

I'm a big fan of Klipsch and was looking for a small to medium subwoofer. Since I already had some Reference Bookshelf Speakers, it made sense to purchase a subwoofer from the same series. The only decision was the size - 10" vs. 12". Base on the size of my room, I determined the 10" would work just fine. When I found out Best Buy was running a one-day sale on the exact model I wanted, I was thrilled at my fortune. After getting the subwoofer placed in the right spot, hooking it up and getting it configured, I was blown away by the sound. When my wife asked about the boom in the other room, I knew I was golden. I've always felt Klipsch's Cost vs. Quality levels were in balance, something not always found in other brand named speakers. I couldn't be happier with my Klipsch speakers and will be purchasing a center speaker from them in the near future.

Okay first impression, this thing can move some air. Placement also makes a huge difference, and of course, it's a klipsch so it's reliable and can take abuse! Has some really good mid and low range bass. Plenty of power for any small/medium room and it really fills it with bass. Upgraded from a Polk psw110 and this thing blows it out if the water, much more power handling capabilities and response. My only gripe is very small but the auto on/off takes a little longer too respond, but when it's on, you know it's on! Movies, music and video games so so full and brings them to life!

I had wavered between at 10in and 12in but the 10 because it went on sale. This subwoofer puts out so much more sound than I expected. The enclosure is the same size as my Klipsch SWV 8in sub that it replaced, but there is no comparison. After a few days of fine tuning (placement, crossover, levels etc.) I am now VERY satisfied with the sound I'm getting. As for power... I could feel the rumble while showering in the back bath when my son was watching his Spider Man show in the living room. The house is 2100sq ft, and the sub is set at 40% level!

With 300 watts power, this 10 inch subwoofer is not only gorgeous with it's copper color, it will shake the floors. I do live in an apartment so I have to be a bit careful but thankfully, there are very accurate gain control and low pass dials to tune it to perfection. Phase switch on the back just in case your front speaker's output isn't matching. I think it's best to try in either position to get the best bass. If it sounds good, it is good :) Highly recommend this one.

Simply amazing! This Klipsch R-100SW Reference Series 10" 150W Powered Subwoofer really made me come to more fully appreciate what this type of component is meant to do. The spun-copper woofer produces deep, rich bass which shakes you and the air in the room surrounding you, just like you’d experience during a blockbuster action movie in a theater. And yet, the sound feels like it’s coming from all around the room, and not from this Klipsch subwoofer. As it should.
