go look in that database of measurements for subwoofer output.
rp1600 is on line 985
FV15hp is on lines 1755-1758
Look at column CC for the cubic measurement size.(fv15hp is 6.3 vs the klipsch at 8.7 which is 72% of the same volume.)
I'm agreeing with you that the klipsch's performance is good. I've never debated that. I additionally feel that you know what you're talking about and that if we were doing this IRL, we'd probably amp each other up on our excitement/enthusiasm when it comes to the audio space.
My whole original comment was that if you want to go smaller, you generally have to pay for it. The price for this and the rp1200 on sale are amazing for the performance but they're really large subs though. I don't think you can disagree with how large this, monolith, new def tech, etc. are. You already said you'd choose the size difference to save the money which is absolutely understandable/reasonable.
Seriously though, I feel like we're disputing over semantics and honestly probably have the same opinion in performance and value about the subwoofers. I've tried/owned/help install a lot of subs at this caliber (e.g., both the klipsch rp, rythmik f12/l12/g25hp/fv18/fv15hp, almost all of the svs line - even the micro3000, etc.).
At the end of the day, there's a lot of what goes into the consideration of purchasing a subwoofer and how it gets utilized. There's so little subwoofer reviews and I get why there are as well (e.g., accurately measuring it in the same exact environment as before) so there are a few things that I more strongly consider, one of them having good placement in your room. With that said, when something has a large size, it makes it even more difficult to place them in your room and to maximize your performance out of your sub. I would love to be able to use JTR captivators but my wife has a super hard no on it. I had picked up a couple FV18s in the past because I got a stupid stupid good deal on it ($2200 for both) and my wife straight up said no cause they were extremely aesthetically unpleasing to her after getting them and my friends are now benefitting from that deal from me.
We can further extend this conversation into output and real world usage (e.g., 100db output is sick but how often are you really trying to achieve this volume and how much do you value that extra headroom, etc.) and it all comes down to everyone's own use case. From your responses, you're someone who I think I could probably have a valuable discussion on installation/calibration/room treatment/measuring in REW/etc. vs. a lot of ppl who would just do the standard calibration, feel their nuts rumble, and think it's good enough.
I guess what I'm saying is, I appreciate and understand where you're coming from and feel we largely agree.
Why do wives generally hate quality speakers and subs? If not for them, Sonos wouldn't be so popular Lol
Buy through Amazon.
That was the shippers fault not the retailer.. I have received several things from them no issues and I always thank the fed ex with cookies or candy bars waiting for him dropping off huge items like

What is the regret with the smaller one? Needing another instead of just that one bigger one? The sound didn't give you butterflies, that shortness of happiness breath?
It doesn't sound a lot different than my r-115sw which I like. Very similar dimensions too. Of course no guarantee that the rp1600 will sound much better..
Well long story short...It doesnt work.So pissed right now..Its not like i can just pack it up and return it..Not sure if i should get ahold of adorama or klipsch?
It powers on and works ever so slightly...No bass and it barely moves...

Turned up the gain knob?

You don't like the type of sound it gives VS the r-115sw? Any better, lower, cleaner bass between the two? If that's the case then I might skip the 1400 and maybe get the r-115sw once it becomes available... Did your 115sw ever give you issues?
Bass does seem a little lower and cleaner as compared to r115sw but not massively so. I am grateful to have never had any issues with my r115sw and think it's a great bang for the buck!
