how loud is the bass? is it comparable to a Klipsch 100 watt subwoofer?

Dear Grant,Thanks so much for your inquiry. The Klipsch RF-62 II Floorstanding speakers are awesome. Terrific clarity, great imaging, decent amount of bass. They are not, however, a subwoofer, which is amplified speaker that does bass only. One certainly cannot replace the other--they accomplish two different things in your system. Please let me know if I can be of any additional assistance.Regards,Eric CohenWorld Wide Stereo

I haven't listened to the Klipsch 100 watt sub yet but in my opinion there is no floor stand speaker that can replace a good subwoofer. Maybe the super high end speakers but nothing I have heard yet. I own these along with a pair of 52's and 42's. I would recommend the 52's and spend a little more on a sub. Both the Klipsch 350w and 400 or 450w sound amazing. If I simplify I will be keeping the 52's over the others.

The bass is crisp & clean..... I'm very happy with my Polk speakers.... I also have 2 klipsch sub woofers hook up 2 my 7.1 Sony receiver.....

Logitech does not make any speakers that can come anywhere close to having sound quality on par with the cheapest set of Klipsch speakers. Forget everything you've seen about the amount of power because that doesn't tell you anything about how well it well sound. Both speaker systems get plenty loud. If you don't believe me, buy both and return the Logitechs after you realize how terrible they sound in comparison.

I agree with the Klipsch SW-350. It's a good subwoofer for the price. I also recommend looking into the SVS subwoofers, with SVS you get the most bang for your buck IMO. If you call SVS they will advise you on which sub to get to best match your budget, room and speakers. Congratulations on you Quintet speakers!

The bass is OK but you are definitely not getting the same lows as a subwoofer will provide. For me however this is preferable, as I don't think my neighbors would enjoy resonating bass. If you don't have that problem, I would recommend a subwoofer if you really want the full bass sound.

The bass is pretty good. Not $100 headphone quality good, but still powerful enough to satisfy.

The Klipsch website doesn't offer much in the way of user manuals. The plate amplifier that's installed on the sub I believe is manufactured by "Bash". They have user manuals but aside from technical specifications they don't provide much in the way of setup and operation. If that is the information you are looking for go to youtube and find what you are looking for explained in a video about subwoofers. Setup for subs is simple and similar regardless of the brand, and making sound adjustments (phase, gain, frequency, crossover) based on sub location, etc. is also quite simple.

No. This is a pure midrange speaker. No bass to speak of at low range of 200 kHz.

The bass response greatly improved after a few weeks of use. However, a powered sub woofer is still required in my opinion.

I bought a Klipsch SW-350, and it's great. If you're looking for a subwoofer that will rattle the walls of a gym, this isn't it, but it has plenty of power for the average home.

The bass is surprisingly loud for a 6 inch sub. Solid deep bass, has no problem filling my 1 bedroom house with sound and pissing off my neighbors. Best computer speakers for the price. Nothing comes close in this price range.

I saw 1000 too and that's what i was hoping for. I really don't know but it sounds like it may 500w per side. It sounds good with really deep base, which I like. Although, I do wish it was louder. I use it for outdoor tailgating, so it's a tougher setting as it's competing with everyone else's music. If using indoors it packs plenty of punch. Decent deal for the price. Overall, I'm satisfied.

It does not have a dedicated subwoofer out. I run a pair of Epos Elan 10 bookshelves with this amplifier and I am very happy with bass levels without a sub. If you are a serious bass head you should probably be looking at something a little more biased, perhaps NAD.

The Z623 is a 200 watt system and it is better with the Bass speaker. I don't normally like a lot of Bass but when I do want some it is there and it sounds great.

Yeah the volume is loud enough to overpower a group of 10 talking simultaneously , bass is bang for the buck... Dont expect JBL, Bose or Dr. Dre beats sound at this price.

I was disappointed in the Klipschs due to a thumpy bass sound. Both speakers have a pronounced peak at 70Hz with the bass turned up. Turning down the bass on the Logitechs eliminates this peak while turning it down on the Klipschs doesn't. Otherwise the frequency responses are very similar except that the Logitechs also have a another peak around 40Hz with the bass turned up. While I haven't heard the Logitechs, the specs suggest that one should be able to get a flatter bass response by adjusting the control.

For a HTIB the bass is pretty good but expect it to sound as good as a component speaker system. The woofer is passive so the drive level is just OK
