Klipsch SPL-150SW 15 Inch Powered Subwoofer, Ebony

Awesome.

This is a big... and I mean huge sub, it is a fantastic performer and great value. It has amazing responsiveness and snappy low low frequencies. It truly immerses you into the story and makes you feel the action as it shakes the entire house!If you are watching a drama, there is music with deep tones that lead the viewer and creates anticipation. With most subs you don’t perceive this, but with this monster sub, all that extra creativity that the producers put into the movie you can now appreciate.If you are watching Syfi or Action movies, HOLD-ON!! You are in for a ride because it’s like bringing the theater into your living room.I had a 15 inch Velodyne sub that I was replacing, it cost three times (yeah 3x) the Klipsch SPL-150 15 inch. Both are amazing products with small differences that are not perceivable. The Klipsch is a top performer with superior value!!Highly recommend for home theater!I used the wired connection not wireless. One thing to note is, when you calibrate your receiver, set the volume on the Klipsch sub to less than 50% (lower is ok as you can adjust this further later). Then turn up the sub volume on the receiver to your preferred level (or of your system self calibrates with a microphone, let it do it automatically). This will ensure that when you set the Klipsch sub to standby, it will auto sense the signal and turn it self on. If the volume on the receiver is to low then it may not notice (and may not auto turn on). You can play with this to make it ideal for your setup. Also if you want a little more base later, then just turn up the Klipsch to your preference. This gives you a ton of flexibility.Then sit back and feel the excitement!

If you have a high-end receiver and 7 high-end woofers and tweeters (bookshelf, surround etc.), then you should get two of these 15 inch Klipsch subwoofers. You can get the perfect balance of deep, clear, room shaking bass. Crank the subs' volume for music, turn them halfway for movies and games. The auto-off standby power setting is awesome. When I'm playing music my tv room is a night club. When I'm watching movies and something big falls on the ground I feel it like real life. You even get a cool 3DX theater type experience from some LFE effects because the subs make a pressure wave of air. 2 of these is pure audio perfection for any application! Especially if you separate the low bass (under 120 Hz) away from the other speakers and only let the lows pass to the subs (there is a low pass filter on the subs that works very well). If you are used to having powerful subs in the car, you can get the same low frequencies, THUMP and Boooom from these. Sacrifice nothing! And the price is nothing for this kind of ultra-high-end sound. Just make sure you tape down or put padding under anything that can rattle.

When I bought this speaker it was a discontinued line from Klipsch. At one time this was their best subwoofer with an MSRP of $1349.00. So I was very happy to find new, old stock available at a nice discount. The seller, Adorama was very professional with my transaction as the speaker was damaged in shipping. I will not hesitate to purchase from Adorama in the future, I have confidence in their professionalism.I am in the market to extend and enhance the sub-frequencies of my Klipsch Heritage Cornwall IV series speakers. I'm interested for home stereo, turntable setup, not home theater. I read a couple of reviews from others who own Cornwall IV's. They added the SPL 150 sub and had very positive reviews. This subwoofer needs to be tuned to your room and speakers. There are plenty of online videos teaching how to do this.I am extremely happy with the SPL 150SW. My vinyl sounds very different, in a good way. I'm hearing low end and bass guitar, drums, etc., that I never heard before. This was a very good purchase for me and a very enjoyable listening experience.

Subs stop working after 9 months!

This thing rumbles my whole house. Very heavy and stout. Worth every penny, thanks

I love this speaker. It sounds great

These subwoofers are large and powerful. They move a lot of air and produce the type of bass I was looking for; tight! From classical to club music to movies they fit the bill and they look fantastic.My only complaint is the quality of the components on the amplifier. The switches feel cheap and power cord insert is loose like something you'd find on a cheap electronic device that's made in China. Oh, btw, these are made in China.I purchased two SPL 150 subwoofers and the quality is the same on both. It's sad considering the quality speakers Klipsch produces in Hope, Arkansas. I have Klipschorn front speakers, La Scala center, Heresy's for surrounds and of course the two SPL-150 subwoofers. I plan to add Cornwalls as the surrounds and move the Heresy's to the rear surrounds and top everything off with in Klipsch in-ceiling speakers for ATMOS.
