Guys, thanks a lot for your input! All of you. I'm certainly not here to waste your time and I appreciate your efforts

Precisely, though the Rythmik I'm looking at is sealed based on TLS's advice trying to compliment the mains.
Been hoping someone with Rythmik experience would chime in. The direct servo sounds like a no brainer
but on paper is nothing, so thanks again.
Being able to return is great and I did have a look at the single 15" of theirs this morning real quick.
The duals would fit my taste better and I considered building a pair of passives to run off the main amp.
A pair of duals, just aren't in the bank unless you want to buy my reef tank
Great info on the LFE input above 90 Hz, how did you know that?
Now, if I understand LFE (like I said I'm not up to speed on a lot of things and had to search that)
it is a single channel bass signal carried to the sub from the probably now AVRs used today (the .1 signal)

Is it possible to run twin subs with LFS daisy chained? Daisy chained and .1 and LFE sound so...not stereo
to be politically correct I'm thinking and not to offend some out there who love their .1 channel
I do not see dual 12's at Rythmik I do see the model 25, dual 15's
Now a pair of the Legacy Goliaths would be my preference, but I want to stay married.
What I'm seeing in the Rythmik is a sub that attends to some of the pitfalls of subwoofer designs.
Notice, I have not made a pair of duals yet. If you click the hyper link in the OP (example)
and conventional subwoofers, scroll down, there's a bit of paper work that makes the direct servo sound great.
For one instance:
So, TLS guy, your input is valuable and appreciated. At this point, I'm already $800 over the original ball park
idea of $1000 for complete HT sound, so I'll need to look at subs that can be connected to each other or in my case
a .2 sub out on my AVR. Though not high end, I can live with monorail sub (2 channels in one unit
)
whether they're paired duals or not, they're still going to be combined L and R channel low frequencies in a single box.
I can live with a single sub till money allows a change, and your mention of centre placement may be an issue
with the wife's decor. If I have to offset it, how close to another speaker do you think I could get?
I'm sure it depends each speaker style, and will have to play around with locations.
Are 15" drivers just as capable of the same tight nimbleness of a 12" with quality manufacturing?
