I can make a $10k sub sound like crap. But if you have the right tools, you can make nearly any sub for you (unless it just doesn't have the power for your room).
A positive about SVS' pro models is that they have a Bluetooth app that makes it easier to get the sound right. I personally prefer sealed to ported (and also accurate sound to power).

Something that often gets overlooked, the quality of all the loudspeakers play a significant role with this also.
That's why all the premium RCs ideally ask for full range/reference loudspeakers at least with the core/base layer loudspeakers to get optimal performance!
I would add you also can't make a $500 sub sound like a $10k either.
Which is a perfect analogy because sometimes 2 subwoofers is a better solution than one, depends on the use cases, the room, the long term budget, etc., etc. If it is the SAME subwoofer in both cases, then 2 subwoofers is almost always better, and 2 12" may be better than 1 16", depending on use (if more music than theater use and/or in a small room to pressurize, then 2 x 12" may be just fine). Most would recommend 2 x 16" of course, why settle for a W12 if you can have a W24

These new RP subwoofer lines are getting alot of love, and at these prices are really hard to beat. Don't listen to the trolls like this guy who's never heard or doesn't have much experience with Klipsch. I'm guessing his $100 Klipsch Promedia 2.1 computer speakers crapped out on him and now his life's goal is to troll every Klipsch thread.
I have totem tribes in my main setup and ML motions in the family room.
anybody defending Klipsch has no actual insight or knowledge in home theater. you probably came from a Bose setup I bet
I have one of the 1200s arriving on Wednesday, I missed the $900 1600SW deal dang it, but depending on how this 1200 works out, I will be standing by for the next 1600 deal, which is sure to come again. For MSRP it is kind of a tough sell imho, but at their recent sale prices they are in their own class for price to performance.
I only have a few to compare the 1200 to, a REL 15/08 predator (from $999 Adorama slickdeal a while back), supercube I which I am working on repairing, and a couple of RW-12Ds, which are actually pretty nice. Since I don't have CEA numbers for either the 1508 of this 1200, I don't know what to expect, but from what I have read the 1200 will beat the 1508 in SPL and cleanliness... we'll see.

Klipsch subs do perform better than there speaker counterparts but there is no way I'm taking a Klipsch over an hsu or other brands until Klipsch quality increases

Also, their quality HAS improved dramatically with the RP series, 5 yr warranty on everything, and for the older crap Klipsch amps that were failing, many posts from people who received warranty replacement amps years after their warranty had expired so decent support as well.
Why are you making me defend Klipsch, I don't even really like Klipsch, the only Klipsch speakers I have are the RW-12Ds I got like 8 years ago on a clearance slickdeal for like $270 or so each, at least until this 1200 arrives. Do you work for a competitor or something?
