Also, feel free to reach out if you need any parts or components for Home Theater or commercial use. Talk to you soon boss. Warren & Derick DAV

[@daviddrake7003]

Paul did that for all new speakers by his competitors mainly they all had Doppler distortion. Most had pretty high distortion, while his Klipschorn Belle Klipsch and La Scalla had extremely low distortion because even at 100 DB levels the diaphragms hardly moved so they stayed in the linear movement of travel.

[@Bunny-Bones]

I bought my first ever HT a month ago. Wanted to enter the space without going to cheap or totally out the world expensive. My setup in a 10X14 room with a 5x5 little window pc nook. Onkyo TX-NR7100 . FL&R RP-6000FII, Center RP-504cII, Side and Rear surrounds 4 RP-500MII’s, Front Height- 2 RP-500saii. I was sent the “RP-1000SW sub. The RP-1000 sub is a beast. You have to unleash it. Do the minus decibel trick on avr about -11.5 - -12 db. Set your SUB at the 2 o clock position and up if you want. Add a Pangea AC-9SE MkII power cord. The sub hits deep. It’s response is truly incredible.. I’ve hated Klipsch subs for a very long time. This line is straight up all sound. The sub never try’s to keep up , it’s ahead of the game. I got a second RP-1000sw. I’m now only worried about my floor falling in second story office so 😏

[@Demonoid1990]

I'm looking at the RP 1000SW for my setup here soon, a long with either the Pioneer VSX 305 or 505 Elite AVR. I'm kinda new to dedicated audio setup, more familiar with PC stuff.. I'm just wondering if I'd need a dedicated AMP for the sub or not. Does it have the power simply built in? I've done some car/auto audio before, but first time dabbling in a full on home theater setup. I'm pretty much doing a full on 5.1.2 setup and plan on going with Klipsch's entry level RP II line up.

[@reese373]

I'm currently about to upgrade from Klipsch 120sw to SVS PB 4000. Saw the add for these and pumped the breaks a bit. On paper, it doesn't look like these stack up against SVS PB 4000 and above. Would love some real life impressions on these vs the SVS. Also apparently their is another Klipsh not announced that's a level above the 1600SW. Hoping someone can drop some reviews on these soon vs SVS.

[@FalloutMemphis]

Huge difference in price, can’t compare the two

[@DesmondKarani]

Right into SVS' and Monolith's hearts... must hurt 😅. Can't wait to see the ground plane measurements on these. Maybe with Erin or Audioholics. If they are that impressive I'm certain Klipsch will definitely send them for review to assert dominance. It's good to have competition.

Not at all really klipsch still are expensive compared tl SvS and Monolith ....RSL 10S Mkii still the 10 inch Sub to beat under $600 Period and its just $449 while klipsch 10inch- 1000SW is retail $749. however RSL will release a 12 inch sub - the 12s with a reported claim LFE to 16hz. which is really enough...for $799. in mid March to April.....while kliosch 12 inch will retail $999. you do the math. klipsch to me misses the mark in Subs always....

These will not be "hurting" any of those guys, but it is nice that Klipsch is putting out something that can actually compete. Any modern subwoofer that wants to be taken seriously really needs to be able to dig into those infrasonics below 20Hz. Now they finally have something.

Why did You choose Klipsch RP over SVS Ultra to match subs? Didn't You also consider Arendal?

[@godhand6510]

@K0T Money that is why at the time it was $4800 for four towers vs $9600 for four towers. I have a RP-450C, 2 RP-502S, 2 RP-280FA's and 2 RP-8060FA's. With 2 SVS PB16 Ultra's and 2 klipsch 12" subs i do not recall which ones but the 400watt RMS. I did not consider the ones you mentioned but at the time I was going for the monolith 15" but ended up with 2 that had dead amps. The SVS was impulse buy do to being angry with monoprice.

[@genuinejake9851]

How would be the best way to get signal from the receiver to these subs if the receiver is in an adjacent room? Would the wireless setup work?

[@pf5658]

I think Klipsch has knocked it out of the park with this new design. However I’m very disappointed to see they did not add an XLR input to this newer models. Pretty sure a lot of people like myself prefer to have that option.

We’d love to see that change as well. We will mention it to the big wigs.

[@pf5658]

@@DivineAV Yes please do that. 😊

[@mpitogo1978]

Anyway as P F mentions lack of XLR is a deal breaker for me. I needed long runs of cables and wanted XLR inputs to minimize interference and signal loss. I'm sure RCA could be OK but did not feel comfortable with 45 and 55 foot runs. I ended up going with HSU dual VTF-15H Mk2, call me impressed. The wireless option could be interesting.

[@DivineAV]

@@mpitogo1978 yeah what we did in the store was long XLR all the way to the subs which are about 50 foot runs and then converted to unbalanced at that point. Worked out well and we don’t have any noise. It would certainly be nice to have XLR’s. Pretty weird.

[@thomasc1753]

The XLR input would only matter with an incredibly long run. There's no scientific benefit to using XLRs in a home theater. Even in massive homes where the equipment would be away requiring long runs, the RCA cabling would be fine. Just run RG6 and terminate into RCA. Also, any processor today will offer both and, if not, there are adapters.

With my experience I won’t ever look back or reconsider Klipsch Secondly I am not sure how far Divine AV is pushing Klipsch products because of their relationship with Klipsch than the actual audio quality or performance.

That’s interesting, we’ve never seen an amp failure on that unit. They are phenomenal with their warranty support, so reach out to your dealer and you’ll get it fixed quickly. There’s always a potential for some minor issues. But that thing can be swapped in like five minutes with a screwdriver and no other tools.

Klipsch has actually designed the amplifiers themselves on the new units. They’ve increased the warranty to five years and their initial testing.

[@DivineAV]

Not a single issue with over 200 installed and sold. Huge improvements on these new units. Also, one of the best warranties at five years. We also check the signal quality on every installation. For both to have an issue at the same time, I would say it’s likely that the signal is clipping. Grab an oscilloscope and check for clipping once you get the units fixed. If you set the units below clipping, it’s highly likely that you won’t have any issues. Thanks for watching.

[@wswsn7396]

the design is not elegant, they made them more wider than necessary instead of taller, which takes up more precious floor space in many typical homes, bad for WAF. Klipsch always has been boasting the performance of their subwoofer performance. Is this going to be exception?

[@DivineAV]

The subwoofers are not really that much wider at all. We are talking 2 to 3 inches. I don’t think anyone is going to miss that. They are deeper which is what I think you mean. But that doesn’t really cause an issue in most rooms. Most rooms are never going to miss an extra 4 or 5 inches of depth. If that makes a big difference in the space, the space is clearly way too small for a large subwoofer. The height is almost identical. That’s great to see because that means that people with projection screens will not have to run the screens overly high. Thanks for watching and we appreciate your input!

[@wswsn7396]

[@stevenshelp1107]

I was so excited to see their release of these.. until I realized their terrible design choice. They needed to make these about 4 inches taller and 4 inches more shallow. Would of had same internal volume and not take up all your floor space.

[@stevenshelp1107]

I will say this. Couple of other brands do this too BUT they offer non floorspace eating versions, ie. Pc2000/pc4000 and m210 m212 m215... fv15hp, fv18. I can go on.

[@DivineAV]

Taller doesn’t always work well for home home theater with projection. It forces the screen higher or requires people to move the subs outward, therefore corner loading more than desired. If running the units in the front of the room, when in the seated position, they will be less obtrusive to the eye. They are thinking outside the box. Also, keep in mind, one of the most powerful positions is running the subwoofers on the left and right of the room facing each other instead of the audience. Check them out in person. Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment! Take care!
