      Large, and substantial, Klipsch's SW-450 subwoofer has the power, but we found that it lost its way when faced with complexityRead more
      The SW-450 is one of Klipsch's more affordable offerings. On movies and games, the overall sound was very good. "It never seemed to run out of power and offered great punch, weight and extension." It is built well and "looks as good as anything in its class." Overall, it offers "dynamic, aggressive performance"Read more
