Very pleased with my RW-10 subwoofer. It's exactly what I want - a front firing, front ported design that moves a LOT of air.

CONGRATS sir barrister! ganda talaga nga niyang rw10... na test ko din yan at spectra.

ramdam talaga

Thanks, bosing.

I was already decided on the Velodyne CHT-10 at the time (ayoko ng CHT-10R dahil madali daw masira ang remote), but when the Velo CHT-10 was auditioned side by side with the Klipsch RW-10 at equal crossovers & volumes, mas nagustuhan ko ang Klipsch.

Sabi ko sa salesclerk, bakit ganon, akala ko ba the best ang Velo. Sagot niya, magaling naman talaga ang Velo, pero applicable lang yon sa high-end models nila, hindi sa entry level.

Kanya-kanyang preference lang siguro 'yan.

yup sir! ako din parang nagustuhan ko yung klipsch rw10.. dont know lang pag cht12 na sa rw12???

maganda talaga yung rw12 din nila (if you auditioned it at spectra din,kasi magkakatabi sila dun

) side by side nga pwede i test yung velo at klipsch.

Sa Spectra (Park Square 1) nga ako nagpa-audition. Doon lang yata may side-by-side demo units nung dalawang models. Buti na lang dahil kung walang side-by-side, Velo talaga dapat ang choice ko.

Hindi kasi ako interesado sa 12 inchers dahil 12" dati ang sub ko; hindi bagay sa room size, kaya nag 10" na lang ako.

Pero try mo rin ang 12 inchers. Iba-iba kasi tayo ng audio taste. Sa Velodyne thread, mas maganda daw ang Velo CHT-10R sa Klipsch RW-10, sabi ni bos danrd.

That's just me pre. Pero as I said on that forum, "Nahirapan ako mamili between them" I was already aimed on buying the RW-10 but I just had a nice deal with the Velo. If not because of that, sigurado RW-10 ang nabili ko. HANEP SA GAPANG!

Bought it brand new @22K from a friend who just came from US. RW-10 costs 24k at Spectra.

An offer he can't refuse. Suwerte!

Be sure that you also audition the Velo CHT-10R. Also has excellent reviews here.

guys, at what settings do you keep your RW10s? I want to get your opinions on its best settings for HT to max its performance, although i'm very satisfied with its performance in one year of ownership

barrister · « **Reply #233 on:** Mar 03, 2007 at 11:51 PM »

Line input with Y-connector:

Volume: 9 o'clock;
Frequency: 105 hz

See my old post:

Quote from: barrister on Apr 27, 2006 at 12:07 PM

To sir newbie pa rin, here are my observations for Klipsch RW-10:

- Pinakamalakas ang sub output pag line-level connection, using 2 inputs (left and right) ang gamit; mahina pag isa lang ang input (left OR right) or pag sa LFE Direct lang ang connection.

- Gumagana ang sub crossover adjustment pag nasa line-level or speaker-level connection; bypassed ang crossover ng sub pag nasa LFE Direct connection.

DVD for crossover adjustment:

- When my sub x-over is set at around 60hz to match the x-over of the other speakers (60 hz), malakas pa rin ang "gapang" ng sub, pero nawawala ang "punch". Ang test disc ko ng "punch" ay War of the Worlds. Lumilitaw ang puwersa ng "punch" sa chap. 5 (time = 20:49 to 25:10) pag above 100hz ang x-over AND using line-level inputs.

DVD for volume adjustment:

- Star Wars Episode III (Revenge of the Sith), chap. 2. Use the bass of the Star Destroyer's sound effect. The chapter starts with the Coruscant sun, then shows a slowly-moving Star Destroyer. The sound is not a clean bass, but is supposed to be a rough, rumbling sound. Sobrang lakas ng hangin na lalabas sa RW-10 port, parang hangin ng aircon. If volume is too high, you will get excessive wind turbulence from the sub's port.

Volume adjustment - Start at around 8 o'clock, then increase to get the highest possible volume without turbulence. Never turn the volume dial all the way down to zero (6 o'clock). Ewan ko kung bakit, pero sa unit ko, pag sumagad sa 6 o'clock, may malakas na tunog, parang masisira ang unit.

thanks for your input barrister, right now im using LFE direct as recommended by the shop, i will try this out to compare and get more juice out of this sweety

barrister · « **Reply #235 on:** Mar 04, 2007 at 03:10 PM »

I used THX Optimizer and a test tone compilation CD made from NCH Test Tone Generator http://www.nch.com.au/tonegen/index.html, and fiddled with settings for about a month. Just when I thought the settings were right, I hear the tones in the above mentioned scenes.

Try War of the Worlds at 20:49. The bystanders and cops around Tom Cruise were saying, "You feel that?", "I feel that." "What is that, the subway?", "There's no subway here." "F-Train maybe?" "There's nothing else down there." "Well, there's someting down there, and it's moving." I was hearing some LFE, but volume was extremely low; and I was not feeling any LFE at all.

I was sure that there was something wrong with my settings because the LFE I was hearing certainly did not match the dialog at that scene.

After raising the x-over to 100 hz. and above, the missing low frequencies came to life. Now, the underground rumble of the buried machines can be both heard and felt. It was the first time that the above-quoted dialog made sense to me.

The whole trial and error process took about 3 months.

Conclusion: Test tones are insufficient. Calibration must be finalized by difficult test scenes from well-mastered DVD movies.
