I just recently saw the little brother of the SW-115, the SW-112. I was not impressed with the finish. The cheap vinyl wrap was pealing up on the edges & the amp looked very cheap. The knobs/switches were small & flimsy. There were no adjustments to fine tune the enclosure to speak of & it was pretty hollow sounding when I knocked on it. I was hoping for a better product in this line but unfortunately it was as I was expecting.
As far as performance?...well either something was wrong with the amp or it was hooked up wrong because all it did was hum real loud. The employee & I kept fiddling with the cables trying to get it to work right but were never able to. So I cant comment on the performance.
I did however like the cone material used on the driver. I'm not a fan of the reversed roll surround though but that's just personal taste & shouldn't harm the performance in any way. The cone material seemed to have a similar feel to the Rohacell used on the B&W 800 series speakers. Very stiff & light. I doubt it's the same or as good as the materials that are used in the 800 series based on the price difference between the Klipsch sub & the B&W speakers but again that's speculation.
Overall the fit & finish were underwhelming to me & actually turned me off. I'm still open to having my mind changed if I heard it & was impressed. But to be honest, I'm reluctant to think that would happen
