Is it time that Klipsch Heritage marketing a subwoofer?

In a recent review, influencer/reviewer Andrew Robinson said that he thinks it’s high time Klipsch designed and marketed a subwoofer for use with its Heritage line products. I fully agree!

For years I’ve thought Klipsch should do this. There are many folks running subwoofers with Heritage speakers. Dialing in subs with Heritage products can create a loudspeaker system that can take your breath away. What’s more, it seems like Klipsch is (a) losing out on sales of subwoofers here; and (b) could design the products to work specifically well with its Heritage speakers.

 

All thoughts and opinions welcome, but if you hate horns, hate Klipsch, etc. please move on and let those on this thread suffer.

PS Please forgive the grammatical error in the title. Audiogon won't let you edit titles (still).

Subwoofers are a relatively new thing compared to the vintage design models that the Klipsch Heritage line offers. So not sure it makes much sense to have a Heritage powered subwoofer. Would a heritage subwoofer look different than any other with the proper desired finish? But hey, if there is a market for such a thing, why not.

 

I sought out and use this discontinued Klisch powered sub Klipsch SW-308 Ultra-compact powered subwoofer at Crutchfield. It’s a very compact big hitter down to below 30hz with its 3-way 8" active/passive driver design and is suitable for use with most any speakers to fill in the lower octaves in a smaller to modest size room.

It is relatively small and has a very clean design aesthetic that can easily fit in most anywhere. Highly recommended if you can find one or newer equivalent!
