    Klipsch wanted to bring a monster subwoofer to market, and I think they did a good job with the RP-1600SW. The performance is formidable even among other large subwoofers on the market. It is good enough that it should be considered for those looking for subs for dedicated home theater rooms rather than just beefy living room systems. The sound of a single RP-1600SW is very impressive, and two or more in a multi-sub setup would doubtlessly be phenomenal. It is a strong choice in this segment, and it is abetted by a 5-year bumper-to-bumper warranty which some of its rivals cannot boast. I enjoyed my time with the RP-1600SW, and I would advise any subwoofer shopper to give it close consideration, even among products from audio manufacturers who are more subwoofer focused.

    In conclusion, the RP-1600SW is a powerful subwoofer that delivers a strong sense of energy and can dive down to extremely low frequencies. It was discovered through actual measurements and testing that this subwoofer dramatically enhances the overall sound effect of multi-channel audio, making the sound field more magnificent and the sound objects larger and fuller.

    In the past Klipsch was known primarily for its speakers, but that might be changing. The Reference Premier line of subwoofers are very impressive, finally able to keep pace with their speakers. I went into this review not expecting much, I came away admiring what they had created. The Klipsch RP-1600SW is for real.
