I have a doubt to choose a subwoofer

[ATLAudio]

you know that yes, I like that other option, I had not seen it before, I will investigate that sub well

Everyone can correct me if I’m wrong but I think it’s more or less the consensus serious enthusiasts starter sub of choice in the community.

Of course, it costs me around 607, 100 more, but I think you have to see that option, I like it

I think you’d be happy. I’ve recommended that sub so much now I’ve lost count. No one has been disappointed.

So the best option is to join the velodyne with the Rythmik L12?

I don't know where you got that from any of our replies...

No, that's not the best option for reasons stated above.

It's worth it, even paying the shipping. You get a lot of sub for the money and it should be easier to integrate with your existing sub.

Yeah I'd have to agree that if I were to start now and wanted a 12" sub, the Hsu would be my first choice.

 

[carlos61162]

ok, I agree with you, but why the svs pb12 is not a good option, it is 12 inch, it has 18-150hz +/- 3db, it is a good ported, the company has the best reputation in the market, so, what a big difference it has from the VTF-2 mk5

In addition to having a better price, free shipping, and 45 days of free listening and return

It's a good option also. Not as flexible as the HSU, but still a good sub and is more similar to what you have than the Rythmik would be.

 

[carlos61162]

the VTF-2 in the frequency response graph comes a little lower, but that is imperceptible to our ears, so, there is only a small frequency difference, only that

 

[carlos61162]

better than the rythmik L12 ?, why ?, this rythmik has the servo system, which gives it a lot of advantage

 

[carlos61162]

These servo systems look a bit more like electrostatic speakers, much better to hear than conventional subwoofer

The HSU will ya e more clean headroom at any frequency, and you can still feel low end content below 20hz.

Because you are trying to match your current sub as closely as you can. The Rythmik is a sealed sub and the PB12 is ported, like your Velodyne is ported. Yes, SVS has about as good a reputation as it gets and it's well deserved. I love the company myself.

I say go ahead and order the PB12 and give it a try right at home for a couple of weeks and see how you feel. You can always return it and try something else if you're unsatisfied. That makes it a risk free demo with your system in your room. Doesn't get better than that.

No, it’s a mechanical form of signal processing inside the driver to maintain performance. It works well enough. HSU uses analog signal processing inside the amp. Basically everyone else uses digital signal processing.

The point is they all work, there’s no secret sauce.

If he's at all tight on budget and can save $100 I don't think the PB12 is a bad option either. Not as flexible but still a competent sub.

So, yeah (yes I quoted myself, I have more to add! lol) I'd get the PB12 and work with it for a while and if I didn't like it at least I would now have a better idea of what might work better (more power, deeper extension, less extension, etc.) and you're not out anything. Might help you decide if the extra hundo could be worth it. Or you just might like the PB12 well enough and you can pat yourself on the back for saving some dough.
