Klipsch’s R-120SW sits in the Reference range as a punchy, home cinema focused active subwoofer, aimed at buyers who want more low end impact than a typical soundbar or AV receiver package can manage on its own. It competes with popular mid sized subs from brands like Polk and Yamaha, leaning towards a lively, room filling character rather than ultra subtle audiophile bass. The reinforced MDF cabinet is there to keep vibrations down, so what you hear is more of the driver and less of the box rattling along.
Who is this subwoofer for?
If your films lack weight in explosions and soundtracks, or your music feels thin at the bottom, this is the sort of upgrade that can make a system feel bigger. It suits medium sized rooms, and works best when you can spend a little time on placement and level crossover setup for a smoother blend with your speakers.
