Klipsch Subwoofer R-8SW Black
Get the bass you need from a humble design, the R-8SW subwoofer's compact cabinet allows for discrete, flexible placement without sacrificing detailed low frequencies needed for a smaller room. The 8-inch down-firing copper injection-molded graphite woofer is powered by an all-digital amplifier to deliver abundant power with efficiency and accuracy.
Copper Down-Firing Woofer
Injection Molded Graphite (IMG) woofers are exceptionally light while being extremely rigid – providing remarkable low frequency response with minimal cone breakup and distortion. The down-firing design of the R-8SW improves the low frequency response with minimal effort.
A Compact Design
At only 13.25" high and 11.75" deep, the minimized stature of the R-8SW makes it the smallest of all Klipsch subwoofers. Designed to be incredibly flexible in any current or future room layout, while producing chest-thumping bass. The R-8SW is finished in a sleek brushed polymer for a contemporary aesthetic and seamless integration into your home décor.
Take Total Control
Low-pass crossover and phase controls allow you to blend the subwoofer's low-frequency tones with other Klipsch speakers as well as customize your ideal level of bass. The Line/LFE inputs ensure compatibility with home theater receivers.

Customer Reviews about Klipsch Subwoofer R-8SW Black
Pros
Appearance. Great bass even at minimum volume.
Cons
I listen to less than a week until I saw
Review
The Klipsch brand - this explains a lot. Good bass when watching movies and listening to music at minimal volume. I have Klipsch - this is the first active sub. I recommend.

Pros
Great subwoofer sub. can do subwoofers
Cons
There are few connectors on the back of the subwoofer. There are rumble at very high volume levels. But since the Saba practically does not work at this level, this is not scary
Review
Great sub. Both in the cinema and in the music. The bass deep, confident. Moderately fast. And its price works fine. But there are few inputs. They simplified the design, but not to the expense of the sound.

About brand
Klipsch
Paul W. Klipsch believed four principles to be the foundation for great sound. They continue to drive the design of every new Klipsch speaker, today and tomorrow:
High Efficiency / Low Distortion
Klipsch horn technology is highly efficient, providing more accurate sound with less power and less distortion – resulting in louder, cleaner audio. Klipsch’s Law: Efficiency is inversely proportional to distortion.
Controlled Directivity
Klipsch horn technology accurately directs sound to the proper locations, which, in turn, creates a more lifelike soundstage without wasting acoustic energy where sound is not needed or desired.
Wide Dynamic Range
The softest sounds are reproduced with remarkable clarity and the loudest sounds are delivered without harshness or distortion – with the greatest possible range between the softest and loudest sounds.
Flat Frequency Response
Audio is delivered without frequency bias – no unnatural highs, mids or lows – reproducing recorded sound as accurately as possible without colorization.
