    @@HomeTheaterHobbyist That's a trait the RSL have, they pair well with almost everything. Trying to find my "perfect" subwoofer, I found the speedwoofer, then I start to search for a nice surrounds and atmos ( for a 5.4.2) and after reading for days, I decide to go with the RSL CG23. I used to have 2 pairs of q acoustics 3010 for atmos, and 2 pairs of q acoustics 3020 for FL, FR and surrounds. The RSL CG23 for surrounds and atmos, have better soundstage, and overall clarity. They have a HUGE "sweet spot". Then, one day, I sell my SVS ultra center, as I always felt that something was lacking in clarity. I kept my concept 20 as center channel, with the KEF'S LS50. I started to search for a new center channel, and I found the RSL CG25 and I can say they're exceptional speakers. 3 days ago, I start to "compare" the RSL CG25, against the kef ls50, I can't believe that the contest were so,so close... The truth is that after 90% of each song, (two hours listening to) I choose the RSL. I'm planning to make one last comparison, but this time with movies. If I get the same result, I will be selling my kef's. Can you give me some basic advice to run this comparison? I have a denon 6400.

    I haven't heard the R100SW but just checking the specs between the two I'd for the SPL-100. It has a better more powerful amplifier, and a larger cabinet so the bass will go deeper and play better. My 2 cents! Let me know which one you choose and how you like it.

    Hi! Sorry I missed this question. Typically it’s better to go dual than a single bigger sub. Because duals will yield better bass balance in the room. So more seats will have a better experience. Yes a larger sub will output more audio but you can always turn up the gain on the two smaller. The single bigger sub will probably play a little lower than the duals but duals will be very impressive. So I recommend going with the duals. Hopefully this helps!

If the sub works on the other piece of equipment then there could be an issue with the Klipsch sub out connection so contact customer service.
