An excellent sub for 800, averages over 110dbs from 25hz thru 70hz. A lesser known that is well made

nice, thanks for quick response. im going to go listen to it tommorow and see how it does in thier sound room. i know better then in my lr. so 110db over that range but also will it pick up the low lows in wotw,hulk, and transformers?

Yes it will pick the lfe up, and if its down 15dbs to 16hz, its still awesome, remember that the majority of your slam comes above 30hz

Sorry I can't tell you much about the SW but I can say that I picked up their center channel speaker and it is one of the best. I had used their switching units for years and have always been impressed with their design and build. Not as well known as others but solid workmanship throughout their gear!

well i'll probably get bashed on here but i ended up buying a klipsch rw12d from a different dealer for a great deal(400). this thing rocks, used in a fairly large room that opens into my dining room then kitchen. still puts out enough to shake my couch from 13 ft away now for some new lcr speakers.

 

[ParadigmDawg]

Well you got a sub that performs 50% of what the Niles does at 50% off?

Maybe you broke even????????????

My personal experience with Niles' electronics have been good. Solid decent value products.

I had that sub... for about 1/2 day. While its not unimpressive out of the box, i mean its loud but not as boomy as I thought... Biggest problem is the extension. Once you get below 30hz or so, its performance suffers. After using the crawl test in 3 different rooms, it measured pretty poorly. I think the box was simply modeled for SPL and leaves a lot to be desired for a high quality HT sub. I payed 800 for mine, but would have had a hard time keeping it at 4 knowing what else is available. It might be hard to do a lot better at 4, but if you're willing to spend even just a little bit more, you'll be much happier. There are some nice ID subs available and even some DIY as well. The Niles still seems like a great option.

I really dont like to "bash" a product particularly after somebody owns it and if you like it that's fantastic and really all that matters. I say this only because I'm a pretty big klipsch advocate and give them quite a bit of praise. Their horns are a nice product and decent value. Too bad their subs arent horns. The last "good" sub they made is the RSW15. I havent heard their new Palladium Sub, but even their THX dual 15s were fairly disappointing. Ok, short story long, if its at all possible to maybe get into something different, I'd suggest it. When you start shopping for better LCR's you'll have nightmares trying to integrate that sub.

im sure i could do better but coming from a polk psw110(which isnt even a sub to me) this thing gets loud and low in my lr. i played inc hulk cannon scene and my floors and walls were pulsing. any more and i really think my house would fall down.hahaha. and my wife thinks this is way over the top so getting one with more output would deff put me in the doghouse. also im working with a limited budget, this seemed like a decent deal and i'm picking up polk tsi 400,cs10 fronts sometime this week,i would get klipsch fronts so things matched but hate the sound of the horns, all for under a grand which i think is pretty good. i know i could get better off internet but i wana hear them first and have had no luck shipping or recieving things in the past. and why do you say i'll have trouble intergrating this sub with the fronts??
