help Klipsch R-12SW FAQ
How powerful is the Klipsch R-12SW?
Its digital amplifier is rated at 200 watts continuous and 400 watts dynamic power. The front-firing driver is a 12-inch copper-spun IMG woofer.
Can the R-12SW connect to any AV receiver?

Yes, especially when its level and crossover are calibrated rather than simply turned up. Its 12-inch driver can add kick-drum and bass-guitar weight, while the AV receiver's LFE channel handles movie effects.
