YMMV, Costco has the Klipsch R-12SW Reference 12" Powered Subwoofer on sale for $124.99 in store. Given it's marked with * , I guess they are discounting the R-12SW to replace it with R-12SWi : https://www.costco.com/klipsch-r-...03576.html

I saw one marked down to $189 at Costco last weekend. Every store is going to be different.

Almost bought it until I realized it's wireless. Thanks for posting though.

Edit, looks like you can also use it wired. Interesting

R120SW and R112SW are the good ones from Klipsch. The R12SW is worst of the lot. But if you are not picky and don't care for nice punch below 30Hz then for this price absolutely go for it.

For the record I never recommend Klipsch for subwoofer. SVS, HSU, MONOLITH are my go to brands.

It's R12SW which is wired. The link below is misleading because all OP is trying to say is Costco going to start selling wireless version R12SWi

It depends, however 120w is much better…

I got this during blackfriday for $150 to replace an old blown subwoofer. 400w (200w rms) or pure power...I was caught off-guard at how powerful this is. TBF my tv room isn't that big, but at 40% power/level it basically shakes the walls. It is a wired subwoofer. I'm very happy with the purchase.

Bought this today in CT. Definitely an upgrade over my 10" Pioneer bottom firing sub.

I had the same results (loved the R120SW, disappointed by the R12SW). Many claim that they're the same subwoofer with minimal differences to the screw colors, but my results have clearly shown the R120SW to be a "tighter" or punchier sub than the R12SW which just comes off as boomy.

With that said, for $125 the R12SW isn't terrible by any means. I picked up a R120SW a couple years ago and added 2x more R12SW when they were on sale for $150.

If you're not in a rush to get one now, the R120SW goes on sale a couple times a year for $225ish.. and the R10SW (10" version of the R12SW) is the better option compared to the R12SW.. adorama puts it on sale often
