Klipsch's RP-1600 is a large, high-output subwoofer aimed at home theater impact, with comments calling its bass effortless, wall-shaking, and especially strong for movies. The 16 inch driver and big cabinet are repeatedly framed as the main draw, and the sub is praised for delivering serious performance at a lower price than some competing options. The main cautions are price, since past sales around $1,000 are still the benchmark, and size, since proper placement can be tricky. Shipping damage and an amp failure after two months also raise durability concerns.
Movie fans wanting theater-level bass at home, because it delivers huge output that can make a room feel like a live event.
Bass enthusiasts chasing maximum slam, because the sub is described as loud enough to shake walls and outperform smaller sealed options on sheer impact.
Home theater owners with bass management, because the large driver size and effortless low-end suit big-screen impact.
Listeners who want a sub that can fill a large open living area, because it plays effortlessly and still feels right in a room opening into the kitchen.
Buyers who want automatic room correction to handle setup for them, because the controls are mostly set-and-forget and proper calibration still matters.
Anyone buying a refurb who wants low-risk ownership, because the refurb warranty is only 90 days and return shipping is on the buyer.
Shoppers who need a compact sub for a tight room, because the 24-by-27-inch footprint makes placement difficult.
People expecting a trouble-free long-term amp, because one unit failed after two months and the replacement process dragged on.

Maybe another $200 but it hasn't been on sale for a while, so who knows.
If you have a receiver with bass management though, probably can consider this Klipsch instead purely for driver size.

If you're expecting/prefer your sub(s) sound to be louder than a festival or cause your whole house to fall apart for less, yes, this is probably the better choice.
Then again they're 10",12",14" can easily do that for much less.
If you expect/prefer a more accurate and detailed sound with very good impact, the SB 3000 Revolution are pretty incredible ime!
Especially when you consider the fraction of the size footprint difference.
Proper placement is crucial for optimal performance imo.
The Revolution Series is a significant difference/step up over the prior model, that's impressive on its own.
How they are able to offer that innovation at that price is a very pleasant surprise imo!
FYI regarding the auto EQ, think of it like individual DLBC for your subwoofer(s).
It's not a replacement but definitely a benefit, especially if you don't have it or don't want to go through the whole REW learning.
You will hear the same complaints like you do regarding DLBC though.
Running dual SB3000 Revolutions, I can tell you, everyone that has listened are shocked by the performance from that size subs.
Especially since they often say I thought sealed are only good for music!
Apples and oranges, and Klipsch has nothing that compares.
Significant difference with the SB3000 Revolution ime.
