R-120SW Subwoofer, Black

Personally, I have always liked the great sound, quality, unique "copper" look, and relatively low cost of Klipsch speakers. This great R-120SW subwoofer is no exception. This subwoofer was delivered well packed, and in perfect condition. This subwoofer also works perfectly with absolutely no 60hz ground-loop hum, distortion, cone snaps, crackles or pops, or chuffing out of the rear port. This subwoofer also runs cool even when pushed to higher volumes for extended periods. Overall, I am very impressed with this subwoofer. I am sure it will last many years, just like all of the rest of Klipsch's great products. I purchased this subwoofer to replace a (still working great after 12 years) Pioneer Andrew Jones Designed SW-8 subwoofer. I was just looking for a little more low-end frequency for movies and music, and boy does this Klipsch subwoofer deliver. The 100 watt, 8" Pioneer subwoofer only produced frequencies down to 36hz, while this much larger and higher powered Klipsch subwoofer goes down to 29hz. I now hear and feel bass I had previously been missing with the Pioneer subwoofer. My main home theater system now consists of 5 (also 12 years old) original Pioneer Andrew Jones Designed speakers (2 floor, 2 rear surround, and 1 center channel), this Klipsch subwoofer, a Denon AV receiver, and a Samsung 4K 65 inch OLED television, and they all work seamlessly together. I recently upgraded the stock, weak tweeters in the otherwise great Pioneer speakers, with Goldwood GT-520 silk dome horn loaded tweeters, and that made a huge difference in balancing all of the frequencies from high to low. The tweeter upgrade, along with The addition of this subwoofer, really completed the sound I was looking for, as the Pioneer speakers sound great, but tend to be a bit midrange focused, out-of-the-box. This Klipsch subwoofer is really easy to setup. Unpack it, place it in a corner, plug in a good quality shielded subwoofer coax cable from the sub-out RCA jack on the back of the AV receiver to the white LFE RCA jack on the back of the subwoofer. Then plug in the power cable, turn on the AV receiver and subwoofer, and wallah, there is bass. I have the gain set to just past half way (after using the AV receiver speaker calibration), the crossover set to LFE, the phase at zero, and the power to auto. I initially ran the auto speaker calibration setup in the Denon AV receiver to match the sound to all 6 speakers, and it did a great job. I have the subwoofer and all of the speaker crossovers set to 80hz, per THX standards. The subwoofer is also set to "LFE+Main" in the AV receiver, so it works equally well with movies, TV, and music. It's hard to describe how amazing this home theater setup looks and sounds now with this new Klipsch subwoofer. The only "drawback" I would say this subwoofer may have is that there are no high-level in/out speaker connections for connecting it to an older amp, or a small portable amp, using standard speaker wires. However, that omission won't really affect most users. I highly recommend this excellent Klipsch subwoofer for anyone looking to build or upgrade a home theater and/or music stereo system. The retail price of this subwoofer (and all Klipsch speakers in general) may be a bit steep for some individuals' budgets, but Klipsch speakers are ALWAYS on sale, and steeply discounted everywhere. However, In my humble opinion, you really can't go wrong with Klipsch products at any price. Buy this great subwoofer now! No, wait, buy 2 when you find them at a great low price!

Deep, powerful bass that extends well below the 29 hertz frequency response listed in the specifications as suggested by Klipsch. I reluctantly ordered only (1) R-120SW subwoofer to pair with my set of Klipsch's The Nines. (I'm so done with soundbars and wanted a relatively simple yet well rounded setup for my living room. The Nines are absolutely amazing and I have zero regrets for "only" going with a 2.1 stereo setup using HDMI ARC from my 75" display for movies and gaming with my kiddo.) I use every input available on The Nines since they perform double duty as our family room cinema audio and for music; the phono, USB for direct connection to my phone and optical input for a CD drive. I'm getting off-point, but The Nines are just unbelievable... So as I said earlier, I only purchased (1) R-120SW for two reasons. Firstly, I wanted to know how it sounded in my room. Secondly, I was unsure whether or not only (1) subwoofer would be enough to seamlessly blend with the stereo image provided by The Nines. I'm certainly glad I only bought (1). This thing gets down low-low for a single ported 12" subwoofer, and sounds damn good for a relatively inexpensive unit. Accuracy and clarity are both above average for a sub at this price point. Maybe I just got lucky with the room I'm using it in, but I'll take it. I've set the low-pass at around 80 hertz, which overlaps well with The Nines. The sound blended seamlessly with the gain set just a bit below half way, and I can control the subwoofer level with the Klipsch application for The Nines. The R-120SW provides immersive, accurate and powerful bass response without being boomy or muddy, and at a great price. The enclosure is well made and measures out to be around 2 cubic feet of volume. As with any rear ported enclosure, this subwoofer performs best when moved away from the wall by several inches. Worth the $300 price point.

Wow, what a subwoofer. This thing is a monster, much larger in person than I expected. But that huge size and 30lb+ weight delivers quite a punch. I paired this Klipsch sub with my Onkyo TX-RZ70 11.2-Channel AV Receiver and another, less powerful subwoofer. The bass quality and power coming from this sub just kills my old one, so I use this one as my primary one and the older one is now in back of the room for extra coverage in a large living room. I picked this up when it dropped just below $250 and it was well worth the money. It adds a level of powerful yet clear bass that I was missing out on before. It's like a different listening experience now, despite my efforts at optimizing my last sub's sound. The build quality is excellent, as you'd expect from any quality sub from a brand like Klipsch. So, I highly recommend this subwoofer but advise that you measure the 19.2"D x 14"W x 16.5"H size to make sure it fits where you want to place it. It is definitely the largest, but best sounding subwoofer I have ever owned.

This sub looks super clean in the living room, fits right next to my TV stand and speakers. Eventually it'll be easy enough to move to the corner for the best sound. Seems very well made, and nothing has broken yet after months of heavy use. Has a fantastic sound and was super easy to set up, it was instantly compatible with my current Yamaha receiver and speaker setup. Awesome price to shake the house lol.
