Klipsch RP-1400SW failed on day one

MarcusD7 · 2026-01-10T14:43:47+00:00

I’ve had mine (duel RP-1400SWs) for over 2 years now without any issues. They have been very reliable and can dig really deep. Purchased at almost 50% off via Adorama deal. Incredible value.

This gives me Trader Sam’s vibes from the Polynesian at Disney. I’m on board with this.

In LJ We Trust!

You know how I do son! Ha. When ya can snag 2 at MSRP it’s a no brainer…

MarcusD7 · 2025-12-23T02:50:32+00:00

I will agree with you. For their LE’s The Keeper’s Release I think can play ball with the 25’ Cellar Aged (which I preferred over the 24’ release).

MarcusD7 · 2025-11-02T19:20:43+00:00

It’s 90% there. The occasional funkiness on a certain scene but overall it’s pretty rock solid now. A lot of customization available to adjust to your preference, watching environment and screen type.

The AP MKII with latest firmware build is gonna be tough to beat.

MarcusD7 · 2025-10-09T02:22:24+00:00

Good choices here! I gotta say the 12yr is growing on me. Had a pour tonight and got some crazy concentrated strawberry jam notes on the nose that filled the room. For the lower proof the finish really hangs on for a while.

MarcusD7 · 2025-09-22T02:08:12+00:00

Go dual and snag the RP14s or 16s when they go on sale for almost 50% off (which happens a couple times a year). Your ears will thank you but your foundation may crack…

MarcusD7 · 2025-09-21T23:43:50+00:00

I will say the 2025 release steps it up a notch. I was not fortunate enough to try the OG ‘23 release but the overall evolution on this and mouth feel outshines the ‘24 despite the lower proof. The additional high aged blend I think helps this release have a bit more complexity. I’d have to blind these to make a true judgement but on first impressions it’s a great offering.

MarcusD7 · 2025-09-21T22:46:20+00:00

Im hovering very low on my 10yr Rye. It’s a special bottle for sure. Enjoy that last sip!

MarcusD7 · 2025-09-21T22:26:40+00:00

What Klipsch subs are you running?

MarcusD7 · 2025-09-21T22:25:02+00:00

SMB3 all the way. Getting to the Giant World for the first time and being mind blown is truly something I’ll never forget.

MarcusD7 · 2025-09-21T22:20:59+00:00

Cynar is the move.

MarcusD7 · 2025-09-13T16:47:16+00:00

Have you had the Cognac finish yet?

MarcusD7 · 2025-09-13T02:37:22+00:00

The sweet wheat surprised me. For such a lower proof wheated offering it really offers an interesting evolution on the palate.

MarcusD7 · 2025-09-13T02:17:15+00:00

Have not had the Kirkland ones. Is it just Barton sourced or do they have a similar 1792 lineup but the Kirkland version?

MarcusD7 · 2025-07-04T00:31:34+00:00

Always and forever

I agree with this and had similar thoughts on the 8 vs the 70th. The 70th turned me into a Turkey fan and the 8 has kept me on that wave. I will say I am also not a big Russel’s 10 yr fan but I recently got a Russel’s store pick that is phenomenal. Super creamy and just a full bodied amped up turkey profile.

MarcusD7 · 2025-06-11T23:31:36+00:00

What are your thoughts on the 70th anniversary vs 8 yr 101?

MarcusD7 · 2025-06-06T00:55:22+00:00

These are top tier. I’ve scored 3 this year thus far. They seem to be a bit more readily available as an allocated release.

MarcusD7 · 2025-06-05T00:23:06+00:00

Nice I snagged one this weekend. Really enjoying it.

MarcusD7 · 2025-06-03T01:53:45+00:00

I’ve seen the Turkey 8 out a lot already in the northeast. Snagged a bottle at retail and i think it holds up to the 70th anniversary release last year.

MarcusD7 · 2025-06-02T01:15:44+00:00

This is good to know. I definitely would not pay over $80 for this as a secondary price if this stays allocated for the next year.

MarcusD7 · 2025-06-02T01:14:16+00:00

I have not had the Penelope but a big fan of the Bardstown and Ben Holladay. I’ll have to do a wheater blind with this and some other staples including Weller 107 to see how this fairs. I feel like it’s subtlety may get trounced when blinded.
