Any way to check the in store price without going in store?
This is the in store price if your Costco has them in stock, and yes there is a way.

In the Costco mobile app, there are some icons at the bottom. Select the warehouse icon.

On the warehouse page, make sure your store of choice is showing, if not, select it.

Next, in the search bar on this page, type in a keyword or the item number, so for example use Klipsch, or subwoofer, or the actual item number.

If your store has it in stock it will show along with the price.

Just remember this is not the normal search bar, you have to go to the warehouse icon like I mentioned first.

I am currently using Polk PSW-505, is this any better worth replacing?
They are pretty much on the same level, likely not any better imo.

I see low stock in a store nearby. Does this mean there are few or just one or display model. Anyone?

I see a few recommendations for RSL as the next step up from these budget subwoofers. Those are $300+. So a decent step up on price. I don't think SVS makes the SB-1000 anymore so we may be seeing fewer of those for $300 on sale.

Even then, it's hard to see that those RSL/SVS subs as being 3 times better than this sub.

Different person here. But I had this sub (bought for 200) and I found it to be way too muddled at low frequencies. It can shake the floor but I found it to not be a clean bass.

I went with an RSL for around 350 and I like it infinitely better. But understand there is a bigger price difference now and at 100 with a wireless transmission it's hard to beat.
Wait... so you are telling me that a sub that costs 3.5 times as much as this one sounds better? No way!!

Bruh, I could buy 3 of these and still have $50 in my pocket compared to what you spent on that one.

No one here is saying this sub is the best, not even great, but it is $99 WITH a wireless transmitter.

So what was your point?

Bought the display at my Costco for $80. Worth a shot.

Fyi for those who haven't looked, this is different the R-120sw. The R-120sw is 400w and this R-120swi is only 230w. It is not the same as the non wireless model

115W RMS, 230W is peak rating. FYI.

Acceptable at this price.

Is there any way to pair this with the Bose 550?
Nope, it doesn't fit with the mantra: No highs, no lows, must be Bose.

Bought through Instacart using an IC gift card purchased through Costco online for 80. After tip came in a couple dollars under what I would have paid picking up myself.

To answer my question. There were 6 of these in addition to the display model.

Can this be paired with a denon receiver that is already connected to 1 wired subwoofer?
Yep, that is exactly how I have mine set up.. one wired.. one wireless with the Denon.

After listening to everyone comment on how good the RSL Speedwoofer was, I had to try it... I had been using the wired version of the Klipsch and was ready to be wowed... I got it and wasn't. I contacted RSL and they were great in walking me through how to tweak it to work best with a Denon using the Audyssey setup (they said you have to tweak settings to get max performance.) Still wasn't wowed. I really wanted to be based on everyone's comments here... but I wasn't. Ended up returning it and paying the restock fee and hooked up the wired Klipsh and got a wireless one and am happy with the decision. Maybe I have unsophisticated hearing that couldn't discern how much better the RSL was, but to me and the family, the Klipschs sounded better once tuned for gain.
With that said, the RSL folks were great and I can't recommend them highly enough if that is the route you want to go..

Curious how you purchased online for this price?

Does this come with the cables to power the Bluetooth adapter? The manual doesn't state "Cable not included" so I'm assuming it does. If not can't tell if it's a USB type of connection.

Manual from Klipsch:
