What 2nd sub to pair with my Rythmik??

[mannetti21]

I have the Rythmik FV15 and I'm now ready to add a companion sub. So of course the obvious pairing would be a second FV15...only problem being that Rythmik discontinued the FV15. I would guess that the FV15-HP would be the next best choice, but at $1200+ for each sub, I'm not really looking for the "next best". I know it is ideal, and some would argue imperative, to use identical subs in a multi-subwoofer setup. I'm wondering if there would be that much conflict between the FV15 and FV15-HP to cause noticeable acoustic problems.

Any advice?

That's tough one. The enclosures appear to be the same size, and both go down to 14hz (I think).
The 15" driver in the FV15-HP is different, and the amp is more powerful. Both really nice subs
from what I've read. IMO they are similar enough....but yes matching could be a problem.

$1200 plus is a lot of money for the HP, but if you can afford it, maybe give it go and see how
they play together.
