WOW! That's what we can say about the RP1200! Just amazing, it gives and when you think it cant give more it gives you more! This thing is crazy - movies are heard by the neighbors, no wait - by the neighborhood!
Summery:
SVS has the upper-hand on power with 550W rms compared to 400W rms, but does that mean the Klipsch is scared?
Hell no! These new Klipsch Reference premiere subs don't hold back when it comes to packing a serious hard hitting punch of BASS! They are absolutely phenomenal!
Look don't get me wrong they both sound absolutely fantastic, but at R15000 cheaper there is absolutely no comparison! Klipsch it is with a test score of 9/10 followed by the VS at 8.5/10
