Just wanted to give an update.
I purchased another TN1 for the living room, so have a set of 2. I also purchased a Rythmik L12 for my office. I gotta say, I'm super impressed with how musical the Rythmik sub is. Of course it doesn't have as much output as a single TN1 but it sounds beautiful. The TN1's are fantastic for home theater, but I feel that they're lacking on the music front. I don't know what's different between them and the Rythmik, but they don't sound the same. In hindsight, I wonder if I would have been a little happier with F18's in my living room. I like the vertical footprint of the TN1 better than the F18, but if the F18's sounded as beautiful as the L12's yet with more output...that would have been a chef's kiss. Although it's too late to return the HSU's now, I do enjoy them and plan to keep them. I just wanted to share my experience.
I think in that big of a living room especially since you don't mind buying once only and spending money to achieve it you need to go with 2 Rythmik FV18'S in that room space. You will not regret it. And yes their is something addictive about the sound signature of a Rythmik. Many owners have told me about this I was skeptical until I experienced it for myself
I bought 2 Rythmik FV 18's for my theater and loved them so much I bought 3 more so I have a total of 4 in that room
I've never had an issue with any of my Rythmiks don't let the comments about servo subs are known to have problems etc etc get to you. Myself and most owners don't have issues with these subs.
But Rythmik customer service is so good that even if you did you won't be dissatisfied or disappointed.
This summer Rythmiks supplier delivered them a bad capacitor nothing they could do about that. Instead of making buyers send the subs in. Bryan the owner set up appointments to every owner that had purchased that serial batch of subs affected across the entire US. And flew and drove to every owner and replaced the capacitor himself on their dime and their time
Not very many companies that will treat you like that
I've owned RBH SVS RSL and other good sub brands and Ive listened to Harbottles JTR Funk Sunroof and and just about any other high end subs you can think of
And Rythmik is right up their with the best of them I love my Rythmiks
But if you go for it with the Rythmiks go with the FV 18's in that room size not the F 18
I'm telling you you won't regret it
