Customer Review: Perfect Problem Solver for Inadequate Bass Response
Summary: 5 Stars
KLIPSCH SYNERGY Sub-12: Unlike most people who purchase a Sub-woofer to add to their Home Theater (HT) system, I needed a Sub for another reason. I had to replace my 25 yr old Integrated Amplifier with a modern A/V Receiver. One thing I didn't forget was to pick a Receiver with Phono input for my turntable (26 yrs old). But, I didn't realize until a few days later, after figuring out how everything else worked on the new component, that it did not have a "loudness" button on it either. I didn't think about it at first because mine was always turned on. I only have one pair of speakers connected to it; a couple of Klipsch Heresy's that I have had forever. These small box speakers do not have much low-end response, maybe 50-60 Hz at most.
Well, the old "loudness" compensation would normally boost the low-end enough to be adequate for my listening purposes, but with this modern A/V Receiver, the speakers sounded very flat and turning the Bass up to its highest point didn't change things much. It was becoming obvious to me that the design of these 5.1 & 7.1 Surround Systems was that the designers really expect you to hook up a sub for "full-range sound" and that an adequate amount of bass response was missing from the standard left and right front channels even when I picked "Large" speakers in the set-up. So, off I went to the local Best Buy to listen to some of the models I found here on Amazon when I searched for Sub-woofer: Polk Audio, Klipsch, etc. My budget was $200 - $300 and I hoped the little Polk PSW10 would do what I needed since it had recently gone on sale for a substantial savings. But, after hearing the performance of the more powerful Klipsch models I knew I just had to have one. The local store was out of stock on the Synergy 10" so I was able to make a deal on the larger 12" model for about $50 off by complaining that I really wanted the 10" model they were out of (Oh Yeah!) I got the larger model with a 300 watt built in amplifier. This thing has been awesome. Very easy set-up, used the LFE connecter from my Denon AVR-2308 Receiver, and so far only have the sub at ˝ gain on the volume/input and it fills the room with all the low-end frequencies I was missing before without being "boomy". I am only listening to music with this set-up. Home Theater is not quite as demanding as continuous music input. This really fills in the kick-drum and subtle, low-end Bass guitar notes.
I feel this sub has all the features anyone would probably want: variable crossover from 40-120 Hz, High level inputs and Low level (line) inputs, LOW frequency response = 24-120 Hz, Auto power On/Off, phase switch, very adequate power at 300 watts continuous (600 watt peak), and a 2 yr warranty.
Description of Klipsch Synergy SUB-12 Subwoofer Speaker (Single, Black)
A masterpiece of sound and design, the Synergy Series SUB-12 subwoofer shakes things up with its rock-solid performances. Its extraordinary power adds a dose of "reality" to movie explosions and other special effects, as well as reveals commonly elusive lower musical tones. The SUB-10 reaches deeper and hits harder thanks to a 12" down-firing driver coupled to a highly efficient BASH amplifier that creates 300 watts of continuous power and 650 watts of dynamic power. The subwoofer's built-in, steep-slope low-pass crossover is continuously adjustable from 40 to 120Hz. An "auto power" feature enables the subwoofer to turn itself on and off (standby) automatically, based on the presence or absence of an audio signal. A blue/red dual color LED display on the front of the subwoofer indicates whether the unit is on or in standby mode. In addition to delivering a bass impact that's beyond restraint, the SUB-12 features a new industrial design that is refined and aggressive.The Synergy Series SUB-12 subwoofer speaker delivers enough power and bass extension to shake foundations.

Available in a black finish with titanium accents, this outstanding subwoofer matches the entire Synergy Series lineup in style?and in performance.
