I like these but they're significantly more expensive without free shipping. You're looking at about $150 more for the HSU.
The power differences are a moot point on paper. The klipsch drivers where built with a higher sensitivity as to not need higher power rated amps. Both of these subs produce about the same dbs at their lowest rated hz.. and I've never heard a difference between a lower thd amp to a higher one...

So what exactly is much better about the speedwoofer 12s? Maybe the built in tunning options? But I wouldn't pay $200 more for that.
In this case, the Klipsch competes with the Speedwoofer 12s. Very similar specs but the speedwoofer is $200 more....

This is very good for this price. The 14" model at $700 was a somewhat better deal. I do think a pair of Speedwoofer 10Es would be preferable for content above 20Hz.

I'm waiting on the 14" to go back to $700

In for 1. All we have now is a Bose Acoustimass 3 sub with 2 of those tiny satellite speakers in the top left/right corners of the room that came with the house 20 years ago. Recently got the Denon S670H. Probably should have jumped on those RP-600's but I did not like the piano black.

This Klipsch is a serious subwoofer, unlike some of their less expensive products. If you're considering spending upwards of $600, other subwoofers should be considered. Especially those that don't have an inflated initial price before discounting.

Quote from fourml8r :
Klipsch are well known for exaggerating their output / sensitivity. this has been confirmed many times in independent testing.

the THD at the low bass end on the Klipsch is 2-3 times that of the RSL, so a very big difference. this does cause one negative aspect in that it requires the cabinet to be a little larger than comparable products. this is only an issue if space is a constraint.

the tuning options (Several DSP modes) are meant for tweaks / tuning and are something not available on the Klipsch. RSL uses compression guide technology inside the cabinet for better performance.

This is tempting, was originally looking at the R120swi from costco for $200, but might as well get a nice upgrade instead. Ive seen the RP1400 has gone on sale for $100 more in the past too. was also alooking at the PB1000 Pro.

Anything will be an upgrade atm, have an old sony 55w SAW sub from the late 90's.

THD......for a sub.....kinda pointless comparison spec on a sub.

Bought mins few days ago, they are a legit site, product was in pristine condition too. It suffered FedEx damage on the package but the packaging inside saved it. If you are on the fence, just go for it.
