Alternate for Rythmik question

[ematthews]

I am looking at a Rythmik F12 for a 2.1 hifi music system only. I will be matching this with Ascend Acoustics Sierra 2 speakers.
Is there any other sub out there that is NON SERVO that will come close to the quality of sound from the Rythmik? Maybe like a SVS SB2000. It's less expensive too. Help me out if you can.
Thanks

SB2000 or PSA XS15, but it is slightly more. You got a problem with servo? I've heard the F12 and it sounded solid.

No problem. In fact I have a Martin Logan Grotto that is Servo driven. It's a bit old and I would like to put it back in the HT set up when I purchase a new sub for my 2.1

Since you didn't state a budget....& budget permits...I'd say the SB13u...I've had it now going on 3 months and its the best sounding sub...Ive heard to date. IIRC you're using either a pre/pro or integrated amp for the Sierra 2's...the SB13u will give you a lot of flexibility to finely tune your sub to suit your needs it has tons of adjustments with a touch of a button.

I've already stated, if I was going to build another setup the S2 & SB13u...is the way I'd go. Don't get me wrong...lots of excellent less expensive options available but IMO not at the same build quality & SQ of the SB13

HSU ULS15 or dual sb1000's would be my picks for music.........

 

[ematthews]

Can anyone answer this. Will the Rthmik F12 give me a better sound than my current Martin Logan Grotto?

 

[ematthews]

To answer the budget question. I am trying my best to keep it under 1000.

Can you fit duals, under $1000 I would go with dual svs sb1000's for $950...

Then...I would stick with the Rythmik F12...if staying under a grand. Rythmik was my radar just a few months ago, I know several Ascend owners used them and likely for a good reason. I happen to know that a few us(Sierra owners) are using PSA subs as well...like the XV15. One of them in particular recently added the S2 with a single XV15 and looking to add a second...I currently have the XS30. The SB13 only came up because I know it will easily keep pace with the S2's and sound fantasic doing so & provide that added bass...you desire!

If you're looking at sealed units to go along with the one's already mentioned above...another vote of consideration for the PSA xs15.

I haven't given out any negative rep in a while, except to spammers.

Steve, you love that time out, lol I never seen anyone on probation before until you became a mod, you guys should change it to "time out" instead of probation, with a little timer, when my kids were younger and went into time out we had a little timer next to the "time out chair"...

I think Mo just wants to get banned since he seen the insults under his name...

What can I say, it gets the job done and it's conveniently located.

Probably, though this gives him some time to think.
