EDIT: I tested this one. Didn't like it much, maybe because of my open living room space. I am keeping the SVS ported sub.

Klipsch subwoofers are notorious for failing amplifier. You should be covered for couple of years when you buy from Costco but still a hassle.

Can these be a substitute for the JBL LSR310s?
Because those are supposed to play nicely with the JBL 3 Series for frequency crossover and afaik in other ways too.

The 550p though is sealed, and has more power, also a lower hz frequency (hits those lower notes that the klipsch cant)
That said, having a 12" woofer does sound appealing, i'm torn here!

You're comparing apples to oranges here. He is asking about sub/around $200 and you're recommending a subwoofer that cost between 2. 3, and 5 times as much.
