Pros & Cons
Pros
This thing is very versatile. It hits harder than my monoprice 12. Its a beautiful balance. The build quality is top notch. Sounds good in the mix.
This compact subwoofer fleshes out my 7. Inch polk audio. It sounds much better than the energy classic 8 subwoofer (esw-8) it replaced.
Excellent and powerful compact sub. Small subwoofer is big enough for reasonable sound levels in a medium-sized room. In my case i have a 10 front and an 8 down, the 10 takes the sub-base freq's.
With an smsl 80watt amp (40w into 8ohm), and a tube buffer. My pioneer home theater server has dual lfe outputs, so easy connection, and setup.
The nice is perfect for us as we put it behind our sectional. Great for music, and more than enough oomph for a 15x20 room. It truly blends in with the rest of my decor in my house.
Cons
This again isn't and authorized klipsch reseller. Would not recommend purchasing this one.

The old subwoofer, klipsch synergy ksw12 12-inch 105-watt powered subwoofer, was replaced by two new r-8sw.
I purchased this sub on a competitor's website for $99 using their weekly promo code.

The only thing that really annoys me about it is the shallow port for the power cable
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The well of the port is so shallow that the power cable falls out with very little movement
