Yeah, Jim Salk is himself a big Rythmik fan, and builds the F12 and F15 models into his own fantastic enclosures (and into some of his loudspeakers), the best I've ever seen. I copied his "honeycomb" bracing design for my enclosures when I built my F15 HP kits.
One reason audiophiles like the REL's is their speaker-level hookup, the sub taking it's signal from the main power amp, not the pre-amp. Well, in their PEQ and PEQ3 model plate amps, Rythmik provides both speaker-level (on binding posts) AND line-level (on RCA jacks) hookup. I know guys using pairs of F12's with their Maggies, and they feel like they have finally found a sub that blends seamlessly with planars. I concur.
If you have the extra money, the Salk/Rythmics feature very nicely finished real wood veneers, and as I said, incredible enclosures. If not, the standard Rythmiks will do quite nicely!
