Well I’ve had exactly 7 days to evaluate my new RSL SW12S. I upgraded from a very capable Klipsch R-12SW. I’m running the RSL with Polk R700’s, Klipsch RP504C-II Center Channel, and Onkyo NR7100 AVR. I’ll get right to the point. The RSL is FEROCIOUS. BASS is clear, deep, and during certain points in movies, THUNDEROUS. This sub is GREAT for all genres of Music, but SPECTACULAR in the Home Theater realm! The RSL has the inconspicuous ability to blend in perfectly and quietly with your Fronts. However, don’t be duped! This subwoofer also has the ability to rattle windows, glass walled cabinets, walls and anything else in your home that’s not FIRMLY nailed down, including the contents of your cranium and thoracic cavity. If you’re in the market for a great subwoofer at a fantastic price that performs like a CHAMPION, the RSL SW12S deserves careful consideration! I’m already seriously considering adding a 2nd one to the mix. I can’t decide if a 2nd sub would make much of a difference though. I don’t know ANYONE with 2 subs in their systems. I must confess, all of my audio roadies are 60 years old and up! Hats off to those on this forum who brought the RSL SW12S to my attention! Thank you!

Very glad you like it....you could send me some fudge for helping you choose it. :p
Provided you don't have any nasty room issues, adding a second is certainly an option.
