I currently have 5 subwoofers in my condo right now. The most expensive one is a MARTIN LOGAN GROTTO i. This Klipsch subwoofer is comparable to the Martin Logan. The Martin Logan costs about $1300. I'm using this subwoofer in my bedroom and I'm running it with a Klipsch sub-12. I would prefer to have another one of these instead of the klipsch sub-12 but can't afford to buy another one right now. This is a good product if you have the money. The rest of my system in my bedroom is all Klipsch 2 WF-34s, 2 WS-24s and 1 WC-24. The entire system is great for the money but I still like focal better.
What's great about it: SEEMS MORE ACCURATE THAN OTHER SUBS
What's not so great: nothing
I would recommend this to a friend!

Sub is very musical. Loud, tight, punchy bass. This sub is in a 18x38 room. It is used in conjunction with 3 Klipsch sub-12's. It loves home theater duty and rock music. This is a 10" 500 watt front firing sub and puts out 110db max@ 30Hz. The Klipsch sub-12 is a 12" 300 watt down firing unit but, puts out 117db max @ 30Hz. This 1 sub will overpower the other 3 at 30 Hz even though the specs show different. You need to listen to them for yourself. I love the combination of the sub-12 and 10" icon. You can get the best of both worlds, low down extension of a ported sub and tight musical bass from the icon. If you are looking for punchy, fast, accurate bass that you can listen to all day and still shake your house with a DVD this sub is for you. If you don't need all the features of the icon and prefer rap or R&B the Sub-12 would do almost as well and save you $500. Don't forget to experiment with placement to get the best out of your sub.
What's great about it: Great extension for a sealed sub, tight accurate bass. Looks great in the corner. Nice display screen and options.
What's not so great: No remote

Don't spend the money if your looking for deeper bass from a klipsch. I would recommend the synergy sub line. Although, these compliment W-Icon series in terms of looks and sonic match.
Save your money unless you have it to spend.
What's great about it: compliments my new line W-Icon fronts, center and rears.
What's not so great: could offer a little more punch
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This sub pounds out the sound. I would recommend this for anyone who is looking to for that "feel" you get from a movie theater. It shakes your insides. However, I would not recomend this for anyone with a small house or apartment, way to much power for that. Other than that great product, great sound. Buy It and Never Look Back.
What's great about it: Amazing Sound, Ultimate Theater Sub, Rumbles the Whole House
What's not so great: OVERPRICED
I would recommend this to a friend!
