Insanely Good Value

I bought this to add some extra low-end to a pair of Ohm Walsh 4s that I recently purchased and had refurbished. I've been a bit spoiled by the low-end I get in my HT with my twin 800W Klipsch R-115SW 15" subs, and although I wasn't looking for earth-shaking bass for my living room, I wanted somethi...

Aunt and Uncle asked if I wanted their old home theater system. Duh!! First real home theater setup outside a sound bar, super excited!

Subwoofer: Klipsch R-12SW. Receiver: Integra DTR 6.6. Amp: NAD 2600A for the RF-82s. Finally have this set-up for the first time in my home and it’s awesome for a first system!

Good bang for the buck

It was time to update the bass in my home theatre without breaking the bank. The sub size and wattage for under $200 sounded too good to be true but I had confidence in the name brand.

Is Klipsch R12-SW Costco deal worth it?

If something is constantly available for a given price, that's it's price. It isn't a "great deal".

The R-12SW is a $200 subwoofer and you get what you pay for.

If you're ok with $200 performance then buy away.

An absolute unit

I ordered the R-12SW thinking it was the 10" one (I just went for the cheaper one) but let me tell you: you'll want to go with this one. Spend a generous amount of time fine tuning it, ore you'll get noise complaints from your neighbors like I did. It can fill easily a very big room with the more fo...

The general users says its amazing then the "audiophile" community says its garbage because of the integrated atmos speakers and its the lowest Klipsch speakers. I am also getting the Klipsch R-12SW subwoofer from Costco, I am thinking about getting 2 but I am not sure yet. 3) The receiver is something I have no idea what to do.
