Overview
Klipsch drives this Reference Premiere subwoofer with a built-in Class D amplifier feeding a large Cerametallic woofer that fires forward. A front slot port shaped to cut turbulence vents the cabinet, and an ebony vinyl wrap with rounded corners finishes it.
Output in a big home theater room is the reason to buy, from a large driver matched to a strong amplifier and cabinet. Front-firing design and a front port make placement flexible, even near a wall. The limits are size and weight, and the wireless option needs Klipsch's separate wireless connection, which the listing does not include.
Who it's for
Movie fans with a sizable room and a surround receiver get a large bass source that fills the space. Apartment dwellers with thin floors or tight corners should look at a smaller driver size.
Pros and cons
- Large driver for deep bass
- Strong built-in Class D amplifier
- Front-firing driver eases placement
- Front slot port near walls
- Very heavy to move
- Wireless kit not listed as included
- Frequency response not clearly stated
Performance notes
Deep bass comes from moving a lot of air, which the large woofer and long excursion are built for. The front slot port vents forward, so the sub can stand near a wall without the port being blocked. The analog preamp path feeds the Class D stage without extra conversion, which Klipsch credits for clean output.
