Klipsch subwoofers...Any good?

I’m interested in opinions of those who have actually used and compared Klipsch subwoofers to other favorites for home audio. There are $$s to be saved if these are well suited for home audio compared to say the RELs, Rhythmiks, and their ilk that get ringing endorsements for music in general.

How hard is it to make a decent subwoofer really? How bad can these possibly be? I suspect they are in fact pretty good and offer good value.

This is to replace a 90’s vintage forward firing  12" M&K subwoofer that gave up the goat finally a year or so back. I found that sub to be quite fine.

The system this will go into is currently quite fast clean and detailed down to about 60 hz or so and looking for a low end boost.

I have not heard any of the current offerings but do own one of their Reference IV models RSW-10d and it is a wonderfully musical, fast, and "accurate" subwoofer.  The same can be said about the Reference II/III versions RSW10, RSW12, and RSW15.  I am using my RSW10d with a pair of Klipsch RB-75 bookshelf(if you can call 32 pounders that) speakers and the combination is nothing short of amazing.
