I definitely will always recommend klipsch speakers though. If you are building up a high end surround sound system in a larger room, you will probably want to move up to a 12" speaker and a higher end series. They consistently have shown me high quality and great sound over the years. It might not be the best sounding sub, but for the price, the quality is excellent and the sound is great at moderate levels. For an apartment or smaller room, this subwoofer is more than ample.
The Sony was loud but not clear. The bass is very clean and deep without causing anything in my living room to rattle. The Klipsch is both,great sub. I upgraded from a Sony 10" sub to the klipsch 10" sub. The sound quality is night and day.
Though, I never forget to play The Ventures (In Space) or Jimmy McGriff. Yes. It's more than enough for a twenty by twenty room powered by an HK 3485. I am an heir of the Hammond B3 and Leslie.the Wurlitzer, for heaven's sake. Hello out there, is there anybody home. I'm in a very small room.
Those who've invested a good percentage of their annual income in the best brands, like, uhhh, Pestrono Iksu, Choralius Opus 1, or Moran for that matter(remember The Conversation starring Gene Hackman.,)are probably not among those who are secretly listening to K&D Sessions or Boards of Canada in their tiny clubhouse. I am downbeat-heavy- bass, dub and electronic manic depressive. I paid a small price. Is there anybody in there. Some delay issues but not enough to kill the buzz. What do you want.
Polk RTI 25's are matched well to this woof.
Playin' my music is also an experience, I have never gone past half, the quality is excellent w/o loosing any quality of the bass, from R&B, Hip Hop, Classical, Jazz, Acid Jazz, Alt Rock, Rock 'n' Roll, just a nice tight sound w/o the muddy muck. but I shook the walls and windows and the vibe in the floor. I liked it so much that I got a 2nd and they work in tandem, talkin' about bouncin' off the walls, it can. I thought like many the more watts the bigger the boom, but I got a lesson in acoustics, Klipsch, B&W, Polk, Velodyne and Sunfire, these here are good, better and best, but you still need the receiver or amp to get the sound you want. For the money it is worth the bump, unless you want to spend a few grand on the Sunfire or Vely's I put in Jurassic Park, Transformers, Planet of the Apes and it passed with bounce to the oz, some have said that it doesn't shake the floor. Now I have to admit that Velodyne and Sunfire are tops, but this KSW 10" sub, could handle its own. well don't know what they were running.
I like that it is downfiring because my kids can't find the actual speaker to destroy it. First off, I am not an audiophile. Also is great for a time out chair as my wife has turned it into. This speaker sounds great with my 5.1 system. The bass is strong and sounds great.
