Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Complete a powerful home theater system with the deep, driving bass of the Klipsch KSW-10 powered subwoofer--perfect for combing with high-performance Klipsch Synergy Series surround sound configurations. It couples a 10-inch driver to the floor for optimal performance. This subwoofer's high-output, down-firing design "grips" the air and fills a room with low frequency energy that's heard and felt with undetectable distortion. The built-in discrete MOSFET amplifier and 10-inch fiber-composite woofer are as efficient as they are reliable. It provides 55 watts of FTC-rated continuous power, and it has a dynamic power rating of 275 watts. (Dynamic power indicates the actual power this amplifier will deliver to the woofer under normal operating conditions.)

The woofer is composed of a Santoprene rubber surround with a fiber composite cone which enables Klipsch subwoofers to deliver on their promise of extended bass response and maximum reliability. This subwoofer accepts LFE, line-level, and speaker level inputs, making it easy to add to the Quintet Microsystem, the Synergy System 6, or any other Klipsch inspired arrangement. The KSW-10's jet ash veneer vinyl finish creates a deceivingly subtle exterior for its earthshaking sound capabilities.

4.0 out of 5 stars KSW-10, musical, balanced and great for small rooms, January 22, 2006

Of course the 55-watt RMS output (225 peak) and 10 driver of the KSW-10 is best suited for smaller rooms and mid-fi systems. I found it balanced well with my JBL Control 5 with the crossover set at about 50-60 Hz, taking over only the lowest tones. In fact, it was nearly "invisible" until you turned it off and missed the little bit of lower end support it offered. I'd describe it as balanced, natural and musical. However, if you're into boom-boom over EQed kickdrum look elsewhere. If your system has only mono sub out, be sure to use a Y-adapter as a single channel input yields extremely weak bass.

The bottomline is the KSW-10 is great for natural bass reinforcement, excelling at music. For shoot 'em up movies it's okay but you won't "feel" earthquakes, etc., in the seat of your pants like a 1000 watt Sunfire True Subwoofer. The KSW-10 is a great buy for the money, often discounted to $200 or less.

4.0 out of 5 stars great for me!, March 12, 2008

First off, I am not an audiophile. This speaker sounds great with my 5.1 system. The bass is strong and sounds great. I like that it is downfiring because my kids can't find the actual speaker to destroy it! Also is great for a time out chair as my wife has turned it into.

I upgraded from a Sony 10" sub to the klipsch 10" sub. The sound quality is night and day. The bass is very clean and deep without causing anything in my living room to rattle. The Sony was loud but not clear. The Klipsch is both,great sub.
