Way better off waiting for the Klipsch 12 inch sub to go on sale at Costco for $160.00. Extra 20 bucks is well worth it seeing as you may have the same sub for 15+ years.
I would say it depends on your taste and what you're trying to accomplish. I've had both and heres my experience- 10" is tight, crisp bass and is plenty loud for any average sized room. 12" is way more boomy and more of a thunder rumble than tight bass and will fill up a room and more. I currently have the 12" and when I'm listening to music I almost always have to lower my sub volume because it overpowers my speakers. BTW, my fronts are RF82iis.

This or cut right to the chase with a $700 SVS pb-2000 pro
Yeah, I'm sitting with one Klipsch R-112SW and I'll probably go with a 15" SVS or HSU as an upgrade within the next couple of years. Any big opinions on those two brands?

hm.. why r10sw regular price is 350 and r12sw is 190?
Klipsch MSRP are always weird - almost always at 50% off. I'm guessing since the r-12sw was replaced with the r-120sw, the msrp might have changed.
With that said, I've heard the r-10sw is a tighter sounding sub than the 12 (which is a bit "loose" and boomy sounding). The r-120sw is noticeably tighter than the r-12, but it only goes on sale 1-2x per year ($199)
The r-12sw is a decent sub for the price and provides a ton of bass. I haven't tried the r-10, but after experience with the 12, Id be interested to see how it compares. I'm thinking the 10 might be the winner between the two, despite smaller size.
I'm using 2x r-12sw and 1x r-120sw in a 7.1.4 atmos setup

HSU better sound quality. SVS better support and little technology upgrades. SVS is more $$ though too.
Hard to describe it, tighter is more of a "punch" bass while loose is more of a wobbly bass. Doesn't help any more with using those terms. If you don't know the difference, it probably won't matter to you.

I have the ported 12" of both and prefer SVS.
But your neighbors will hate you 😄

Tight and loose wtf we taking about here? Sigh.

Get svs right away. The amount of time you spend justifying you purchase, research, regrets, whatifs... Just get the best and don't worry about it.
I wish I learned this long time ago.
