    The sale price point and quality of sound is perfect for my set up. This sub blend so well with my KEF speakers as if they are one. On low base settings can play softly and when a punch is need it’s there.

    Added this subwoofer as my 2nd subwoofer to my surround system. A very noticeable improvement in sound quality. Very happy with it.

    I am disappointed with this subwoofer. It just doesn't live up to that Klipsch reputation that I have come to know. Let me start with looks. The style is very simple and modern, just like the other speakers in this series. It has a smooth finish and is black on black. The grille is also black and has plastic pegs to hold it in place to cover the subwoofer driver in the front. The pegs feel a bit cheap and breakable, which is why I have never really been a fan of them. I understand they need it to stay in place but feel like they could have used a stronger set of magnets to secure it like the speakers in this reference series. The driver is nice look look at with that copper color. The size of the surround on the driver is built well and looks good. The connectivity is a limited with only RCA inputs to connect it to the LFE output on your receiver or pre-amp. It stinks that there aren't line level inputs to hook up to older receivers or an integrated amp for a two channel music setup. That would have been a great feature. Now, the sound. I'm not fan. It either lacks or is too muddy. There isn't much of a sweet spot for the gain, crossover and phase. I have played several action and horror movies and it just doesn't do well with it's overall sound. For the price of this thing, I feel like there is much better for the same amount. Overall, this was a bit of a disappointment.

    I bought two when they were on sale because using two makes a big difference. The sound is evened out accross the room. It gets rid of the bass being concentrated from one spot, so it's like surround sound. These subs have very clean, low bass. Once they break in a little they get loud and sound fantastic. I mainly use them for movies but do listen to music sometimes. I like the little light on the front so you know when they're on.

    I pampered myself today. My 20 year old sub died today, so I got this 12" Klipsch to replace it, along with some matching 5-¼" bookshef speakers and a matching center speaker, thanks to Black Friday deals. I'm running them through a Denon X-3711 AVR. All I can say is it was money well spent. After I calibrated it, I ran it through the paces by playing the beginning of several movies. The sound is tight and booming! My home theater system now sounds like being in a theater. I'm slapping myself for not doing it sooner. Great products, Klipsch!
