I haven't compared the -10sw and -100sw directly but I have used the -10SW, -12SW and -120SW (and tried the -100sw, which sounded fine, I just wanted the 12")..

There is a very noticeable difference to me between the -12SW and -120SW (the -12SW is much muddier and "loose" while the -120SW has a much tighter, punchy feel to it).

The -10SW doesn't seem to have that same 'muddy' feel as the -12SW, which is interesting, so I'm not sure how much of an improvement you'll find in the -100SW, but I would assume there is something there.

The -100sw/-120sw are newer models of the -10sw and -20sw.

TLDR: the 10/100/120 all seem to perform pretty well whereas the 12sw is the one that gave me the most trouble. This is with 2 of them in my setup, both behaving identically to eachother.

(Using them for a home theater setup and music listening. I found that the -120SW and 10SW let me get much more enjoyable bass out of both, while I had to keep the gain on my -12sw's very low so that it doesn't ruin it)

I got this in January for this price, Amazon ended up matching Adorama eventually. I have been very happy with it and have zero complaints, I upgraded from a Jamo 808 that had gotten the death thump.

I want to pull the trigger but I'd be replacing the 8 inch sub that came with the reference theater pack. Would this be too much for that set? I'd eventually like to get floor standing speakers and upgrade.

Damn, if it was down-firing I'd be all over this. Still have a BIC from 13 years ago that I love to death but wouldn't mind a refresh.

Nice price and worth noting that this is not the same as the one that does frequently go on sale (R-10SW and R-12SW).

Is this better than the -10sw?

No, it's all in how you integrate it.

32hz Low is pretty limited. At this price I'd pick up the Dayton SUB-1200 over this.

The PL200ii has a better crossover and 100W more continuous power. It'd be better than the Klipsch.

That BIC is a significant step up from the Klipsch. There is also a cheaper version of the BIC called the F12, that is also a smaller step up from the klipsch. But if you're in that price bracket I'd be looking at the SVS PB-1000/2000, or SB-1000/2000 if you want a sealed boxed for tighter music reproduction. The SVS models with have better Low Hz production including sub 20hz in the ported models. Klipsch makes decent stuff, but you are up-paying for the name, and their stuff is always "on-sale" to create that "I'm getting a deal" feeling that persuades people to buy things.

This is not my personal knowledge/experience, but rather opinions I have found from a lot of people on A/V forums. So do with it what you will.
