#109 Klipsch RP-1000SW: $749.00 each Amazon eBay
Pros: The entry 10-inch model in Klipsch’s flagship Reference Premiere high-excursion subwoofer family. Combines a newly developed 10-inch front-firing spun-copper Cerametallic driver with an analog preamp stage and 300W RMS / 600W peak Class D amplifier. Features Klipsch’s internal flare Aerofoil slot port that eliminates port chuffing and turbulence at high velocity. CEA-2010 output data confirms robust output across the 31.5Hz to 80Hz range with extension reaching 19Hz in-room, providing tight, articulate musical punch with excellent transient speed.
Cons: The 10-inch driver naturally gives up bottom-octave (16-25Hz) maximum output compared to the 12-inch RP-1200SW and 14-inch RP-1400SW in larger home theater rooms. The cabinet depth (534 mm) is substantial for a 10-inch sub.
How it compares: Just above it: ELAC SUB3010 - $250 cheaper. Just below it: MartinLogan Dynamo 12 - $851 more.
