Where should I place the Klipsch R-120SW in my room?
Corner placement is generally recommended for ported subwoofers like the R-120SW to maximize bass output and reinforce the low frequencies. However, you should experiment with placement to avoid 'dead spots' or overwhelming the room with boomy bass.
