Quote from Stormhaven :
I've had two of the R-120SW's die on me - the amps just stop working (they were connected to UPS too). One was replaced by warranty and the replacement died just after a year later. Currently sub-less, but I don't think Klipsch is on the menu anymore.
I would contact them, many many reports of them making it right even out of warranty. To top it off, this amp structure was super over engineered to avoid exactly that issue.

plus one..Also no matter how good or bad they sound not going to put a monster big black box permanently on my family room. Aesthetically ugly tbh..unless you have deicated media room.I can compromise little bit on sound quality and go for a smaller 10inch sub with mangeable foot print.
The only 10" sub I'd bother with: RSL 10e or 10S. Whatever you do, don't waste your time with a 10" SEALED sub.

Quote from Joe88 :
This is a brand new redesign including the amp, been out for about a year and half an no complaints of burnt amps, they have also torture tested these subs to make sure they dont have a failure like in the SP/R subs. That said I get it, you got burned by the company and you dont feel like trusting them anymore.
Any idea how this RP1400 compares to the $800 RSL Speedwoofer 12S? Any CEA data yet?

Has anyone ordered the wireless kit? I see Amazon has it for $164. Anyone have experience with its reliability?

This or two SVS-1000 Pro? Please help me decide. I enjoy listening to music as well as watch movies. My room is 16' deep and 12 feet wide with double pane glass French doors on the left and open floor plan on the right (no wall between living and rest of the floor)

I went with a smaller sub 10" monolith and is actually bigger and has heavier than this.

2 is always better as you get better spread. Rule of thumb is room area in sqft x2 = sub wattage to fill low end. So given you're at 192sqft a 400w sub should do. If you can affors the 2 svs at a higher price go with that. Otherwise this one placed well after a sub crawl should do.

From the spec sheets of the rp1400 and m-10 v2 (assume you got this once since its their biggest model of a 10in)
The rp weighs around 11lbs more and all its size dimensions are larger than the m10 by several inches

lol having compared this and RSL 10/12 to SB 3000.
The SB 3000 easily competed(imo was overall better) with them and the footprint is about the size of the 10e!
The SB 3000 was just on sale for $799!

Often overlooked, proper placement is vital for optimal performance for a sub.
Not to mention every environment is different so they will not sound the same.

I was going to ask the same thing. A blemished RSL is a little over $700 so the price difference is negligible. RSL has great customer support and warranty so I'm inclined to say the 12S is the safer buy.

For me it was the weight, no way I'm not throwing out my back unboxing an 84 pound sub
My back sucks too and can go out on me at any time. Plan to get a hand dolly when I order a large sub. Planning on getting a RSL 12S when I have the $$$. Would consider the RP-1400SW also if performance is better.

The SB3000 is a 13" sealed sub not 10" as alluded to in my comment, and costs a whopping $1100 vs $300 for the RSL 10e and $450 for the 10s. I would certainly HOPE it would be at least AS GOOD, at that price. But you could have easily gotten the 12S ($800) which would pulverize the SB3000, or for the same $1100, the Hsu VTF-3 which would wipe the floor with the SB3000 even more so in every respect other than WAF appeal.

The 10" sealed subs I was alluding would have been the SB1000 first gen and any number of 10" sealed subs from REL, Martin Logan, and other speaker companies, which are notoriously overpriced and underperforming.

Hand dolly is needed if you have to lug it up/down stairs. For just moving across a room, furniture sliders work fine.

Lol clearly you have no experience with the SB3000 other than reading!
As I mentioned I compared the 12S and no pulverizing, I preferred the Sb3000 a plus was its the size of the 10e!

I have experience with the VTF-3(15" mind you) and definitely no wiping the floor!
The SB 30000 easily holds its own against it imo.
The small footprint isn't just a WAF factor, much more versatility with good placement imo.
Nothing can substitute that imo.

You can still get the SB3000 for $899 and $799 just ended.
