This subreddit might be an elitist circle-jerk, but god dammit you're right

The Klipsch R-100SW is only worth about $140 maximum in terms of performance. https://www.bkelec.com/HiFi/Sub_Woofers.htm. For the AV receiver, get something cheap, perhaps even used at the start.

Needs a specific Subwoofer cable if you only have an LFE out on Receiver

It has a hum that is not natural when it's turned up past about 20%. It doesn't sound as crisp as my old Polk sub, and the cabinet looks really cheap. Once I finally got it to work by purchasing a LFE subwoofer cable, as none of my cables could get sound out of any of my Subs, it worked. Even though...

Rn my Edifier R1700BT allows this (I can play my PC through the PC RCA and my turntable through the AUX RCA) but it does not have a sub out option. Again, I want to be able to listen to my PC and table at the same time with a sub added (thinking of getting the Klipsch R-100SW).

Well worth the money.

Paired well without any issues to my klipsch R-51PM bookshelf speakers. Had to turn the gain down to a little less than half with the pass through and will get the hard bass without over bearing the bookshelf speakers. Will do low rumbling bass but that’s not what I prefer, I like tight bass that is...

Klipsch R-100SW 10. I purchased the Klipsch first and had it for about 2 years before adding the SVS PB-16 Ultra.

It's a bit loose in bass response a but good sub for the price

Nice response, to LFE good power, and depending on the source, can't really tell it's there (which is good). Other LFE media though it gets a bit boomy. But for the price, I've not found better. The 10" really does very well with low frequencies, which was surprising. All in all, good sub for the pr...

No Stupid Questions Weekend [Weekly Recurring Thread]

The setup is for a kids game room. The room is 20x17 with a couch about 10ft from a Sony 85" x850g. Klipsch is offering a warranty replacement for powered units R-51PM and an R-100SW for free currently because they're out of stock of the cinema 600 system I returned to them for warranty. Would these be decent for a gaming kids Netflix setup?
