Klipsch SW-308 Reference Series Subwoofer System - 300 W RMS - Each (Satin Black) Review

SW-308 is, in a word...remarkable. It size is comical (I literally laugh every time I look at it...so small and unassuming)...but it's no joke; believe me when I tell you that this thing will astound you and blow your expectations away. Quite simply, the sub's response is perceptibly flat from its f3 (27-28Hz, simply by ear) all the way up to its upper crossover limit (150). Furthermore, unlike ported designs, there is no port noise, vibration, or anything else (aside from the vibration of your walls, of course) aside from perfectly clean, linear bass. In other words, there's no "boom" here...simply the most accurate low end that I've personally ever heard (and I've owned about a dozen subs of all designs). Compared to a sealed sub, the passive radiators significantly boost output from about 50Hz down (run a sweep track and watch the excursion move from the active driver to the passives as the frequency drops), which equates to a level frequency response well below that of sealed designs, without the boom and noise of ports. In other words, while you won't get to 20Hz with this design, you'll get less roll-off from 30Hz and up (none that's noticeable, in fact), and in turn, (in my opinion) a much better sounding and performing subwoofer.

If absolute depth is what you're after, I don't recommend this sub (I'd personally go with the 15" model, or JBL's ES250p [which I recently bought for the living room...sure, it blows this little sub away in both volume and extension, but it's three times the size])...but if you're willing to trade frequencies below 26Hz for the highest quality sound I've ever heard at 28 and up, and at wall-vibrating volume at 50Hz and below (unlike most sealed designs), this is definitely the subwoofer you want to consider first (or the 310, though you'll probably be trading a bit of response time for a bit more volume and slightly lower depth...I'll take response time and accuracy any day of the week).

p.s. I originally wrote this review on Klipsch.com, then pasted it here for Amazon.com's customers...didn't plagiarize. :)

p.p.s. be prepared to smell hot glue for a while if you're playing any kind of hip-hop, etc., with lengthy bass tones (no sealed design is entirely 'sealed'...some air always escapes). This is normal; the typical copper coil on aluminum former can take nearly 500F (for those who don't know, 99% of the power that goes into a driver is converted to heat [I mean this literally]), and the surface of the active driver can get up to 150F at center (hot to the touch, though you'd have no reason to touch it) (measured temp with laser gun). As the driver is woven fiberglass, this is nothing to be concerned about (though, obviously, you don't want to be driving the subwoofer into steady distortion [which it will do, especially below 30Hz at extreme volume levels]).
