Polk Audio PSW505 vs Klipsch R-120SW has 50 watts more. PSW505 also has a 12-inch driver size. This device can provide power up to 480 watts at peak. The bass is excellent, as it should be, it shakes the walls.

There are two line inputs plus an LFE input for the special signal from the AV receiver. The magnetic screen allows you to place the unit close to the TV.
