I run three jtr 4000 in my theater. I grabbed a pair of the sw15 for my little living room setup. Love them and hell of a value. Very clean sub measured distortion in rew close mic. Hell of a value
Love the comments "what about this brand, what about that brand, why didn't you include this or that." Wellllllll Because that's this review? Most of these reviews are done in someone's actual home with a certain amount of power, neighbors, space and $$. Maybe some of you should invest in a warehouse and you can test 2,5,8, heck even 30 subs at once!!
I just picked up a sw15 cause it’s on sale. Was cross shopping hsu,starke,rsl and saw the Sw15 on sale for $499. Upgrading from a Klipsch 12swi. Hopefully the sealed won’t disappoint me.
you can see your room modes repeating over and over. without a 10ft ceiling you'll be compromising but mode spacing might help if you can make false walls with treatments.
Great review, Gabriel! I purchased the Starks SW15's some months back, and I really like the 2 of them in my room that's 18 by 12 with an 7 or 8 foot ceiling. I'm seated 17 feet from them. The low frequencies with my music is awesome! The subsonic bass that I get from the movies travel outside of the walls of my house, so with late night listening I play my Velodyne SPL10 that peaks inside my room. Anyway, I love the subs, and I'm still thinking about buying the smaller Starks SW12's, since they also can play down to 16 hertz +3db! Looking forward to more videos!
Excellent Gabriel....ive been setting my sights on dual sw15 sealed subs for about a year now. thank you for the informative video and comparison. currently, I have 2 keep Klipsch 8-inch subs one in each corner with a monoprice monolith 10 as my nearfield sub. i want a little more bass so trying to get rid of the Klipschs subs and getting the Starke subs...also on a side note...what camera are you using for this video. it looks very good and clean...keep up the good work...
Great review - thanks for your insight. I actually have the TV2112 also and am looking at both of these as options for a second sub so this was very helpful. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on how these compare to the PSA. My downstairs room is somewhat similar as well, roughly 30*15 with 7.5' ceilings with a lot of acoustic challenges because of the way I have to arrange the TV and furniture (layout is wide rather than long due to columns). Thanks again for all the details!
Thanks for the review. I was waiting for a comparison between the RSL 12s and the sw15p, but pulled the trigger on the 12s with their Christmas deal because there wasn't any reviews of the sw15p at the time. I'm really amazed at the performance of the 12s. I think either one would be great though.
