Klipsch 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!

I’ve bought three of these already, 2 for my home theater and one for my office and it’s really hard to beat them for their usual going price of ~$250 on sale.They’re very good build quality and I love the Klipsch copper look.They’re big and bulky so make sure you have enough room!With regard to volume, with two of them I’m able to hit north of 110db (have hit 116db) and I’m sure my room acoustics are not ideal.They do sound a little “boomy” in some cases (which again might be tied in with room acoustics) but will typically handle music extremely well and adds another dimension to movies because it feels like the house is falling apart when there’s an explosion.They hit very low for their price range, I haven’t measured it but it should be in the mid 20 hz range.You could probably get similar value by getting a cheaper svs subwoofer instead of two of these ($600+ vs $250 on sale x2) but two of these beasts just looks awesome on top of performing pretty similarly and being slightly cheaper.

Compact but powerful. Reasonably priced and provides a solid lower octave of sound. Recommended.

What a monster this thing is !!!I live in a small townhouse – and I have this subwoofer plugged into my Klipsch Flexus Core 200 soundbar. The sound between the two is magnificent – and I feel like I’m sitting in a movie theater when watching a movie – or listening to music.It can get a little loud sometimes though – so I have to tone it down a little bit on occasion, or my neighbors will complain …. what with the deep bass going through the walls and all. 🤣Suffice to say, that I love this thing dearly – as well as the soundbar that it’s connected to.
