Klipsch R-120SW review

Active 12-inch subwoofer Hi-Fi class. Klipsch R-120SW vs Dayton Audio SUB-1200 has more power output, it’s 200 vs 150 W. The frequency range is equal to – 29-120 Hz. The R-120SW provides RCA input, which is a huge advantage when connecting the laptop to the speakers on the shelf and subwoofer. The Klipsch R-120SW body is made of selected MDF of increased thickness and complemented by internal ties. In general, this design has good acoustic inertness; it does not color the sound even at high volume. On the back panel of the R-120SW are controls for signal level, filter tune frequency, and an absolute phase switch.

Dayton Audio SUB-1200 review

The Dayton Audio SUB-1000 sub with a 10-inch driver size is the perfect complement to any home system. This subwoofer is equipped with bottom-firing, flared port, low-frequency reflection design to reduce port noise and bass enhancement. Dayton Audio SUB-1200 weighs 20 kg vs Klipsch R-120SW – 14 kg. The construction is of high quality but heavy. The device without built-in legs for vertical installation is 6 / 25 inches. If you put extra legs for vertical mounting, yes, it will become larger. The attached feet for horizontal installation on the floor give a size of 6 / 25 inches.
