Salon2 or 201/2 with dual Funk Audio 18.0 TSAD

[AcuDefTechGuy]

Guys, I have a dilemma here.

I'm about to pull the trigger on dual Funk Audio 18.0 TSAD18v1 subs.

18.0

But I have not decided on which veneer/finish.

If I pair the FA-18.0 up with my KEF Reference 201/2 (5.1 HT), then I would get Cherry.

If I pair the FA-18.0 up with Revel Salon2 (2.1), then I would get Mahogany.

The other speaker (not getting FA-18.0) would get dual Rythmik D15SE.

What would you do? Any thoughts?

And why are you doing this in such a small space, your not having that sub attacks sickness again . If it were me, two more Rythmik D15SE keep it simple.

I'd put the Rythmiks on whatever system you plan to use for HT, and put the FA subs on whatever you use for music. Of course that's arbitrary, based just on my guess that the Rythmiks will have more absolute output. Frankly, I doubt you'd hear a material difference regardless of what choice you make.

I really don't understand your gear purchase motivations. lol

I would match them with the Salon2s. And then get another matching set for the KEFs. Sell the Rythmiks to me for $100

Is it free? Because you know I'm cheap.

...my guess that the Rythmiks will have more absolute output...

I thought 18" subs (22" x 22.5" x 22" = 10,890 cubic inch) would have more output than 15" subs (18" x 24" x 18" = 7,776 cubic inch)?

 

[its phillip]

I have no idea why he thinks the Rythmiks would have more output - I think the Funks would have significantly more.

My mistake. I thought he had the FV15s, not the D15SEs. Nonetheless, I'm still not sure there will be an audible difference on music.

Darn you. While searching for a joke, I started to research Krypton, thereby coming across the story of Krypto the super dog that died while saving Superman. Now I'm sad.

Oh, yeah - and my vote is for mahogany.

Why

Are you getting the subs for movies/tv? You mostly listen to music in direct mode so that would cancel out the subs, right? The subs wouldn't come on when running speakers full range either, at least mine doesn't.

More on topic, I say the cherry finish. Black would match most any finish though.

You guys are making it hard for me.

At first, I told Nathan I want mahogany.

Then, I told him Cherry.

Now I still don't know.

Simple solution - get 2 cherry, 2 mahogany.

Easy, Rick. Eeeaaasssyyyy.

Oh, wait. Did you mean "difficult?"

 

[AcuDefTechGuy]

Simple solution - get 2 cherry, 2 mahogany.

Now you're just being silly.

Question for you - are you thinking about getting the metal grill or no? I don't like the looks of it in the photo, but I figure that it looks better in person.
