Bronze Member Username: Fac3l3ssPost Number: 27 Registered: Oct-05 | Well I bought myself this new Onkyo CS-210(S) CD receiver, and a new 12" 150 watt Vector Research sub along with it as well. Anyways I like the sound of the stereo, but the sub kinda lacks and I'm looking into a new one and this is one of my choices, http://www.klipsch.ca/products/details/rt-12d.aspx I'm just wondering if this is a good sub to be putting big $$$ towards? |
Gold Member Username: Touche6784USA Post Number: 1135 Registered: Nov-04 | thats a waste of money in my opinion. go with a company that is known for making subs. that is not a novel design so you can find many other companies that have similar designs with better quality implementation. if you want a nice sub for that money try looking into Martin Logan, REL, Vandersteen, or even Definitive Technology. Klipsch is a good speaker company dont get me wrong, but they are not know for their subs. |

Gold Member Username: PetergalbraithRimouski, Quebec Canada Post Number: 1960 Registered: Feb-04 | The RT-12d is some sub though. Nothing to do with some of the low end offerings Klipsch has made available in the past. I'd love to have one. It's expensive. You might not need such an expensive sub, depending. Hsu is known for quality on a sub. Also, I wouldn't call Paradigm a sub company; they are a speaker company and that's what they do best(and I'm Canadian). |
Gold Member Username: Touche6784USA Post Number: 1138 Registered: Nov-04 | well neither is NHT and their speakers arent all that great anyway. if you want lots of boom/sizzle go with SVS or def tech. something more refined i would go for REL, Vandersteen, Martin Logan. but as peter said, a nice sub can be had for less than half of you budget. |
Bronze Member Username: HeymaynardPost Number: 25 Registered: Jul-06 | I have a 12 Klipsch and love it. But it is just for Theater and not music if I was just doing music and did not get such a good deal I would have went with something else since it does get a little loose and sloppy. I agree def tech are good heard a super cube and for there size very nice. Also under 1k that I have seen. |
