I’ll add another thumbs up for Rythmik subs. I have a pair with my Revel speaker system. The subs integrate flawlessly and are tight, fast and musical. The founder of Rythmik is a huge music fan and designs subs for music. They also happen to sound pretty dang good for HT as well.
Best sub for music,
Not HT, repeat not the boomboomboom of HT effects. which does not offer the high fidelity of musical sub bass (20hz-40hz)
I'd have to go with the seas W26E001. which has a magnesium/aluminum cone.
What that raitio is, not sure, seems 50/50.
None of us here like the sound of those old aluminum cones. But my guess is Seas had to incorporate some alumium inorder to gain the 20-30hz and also mabe keep costs down.
This YT vid says **Aluminum cone** which is confusing YTers.
Its a composite, and perhaps the best ture woofer on the market.
Been around for ages, still hard to beat for pure natural low mids. .
Magesium is the best material to keep unwanted resonances out in the 60-1k range, very low/hardly measurable distortion.
The issue here tops out at 1k, so its really a sub.
This woofer may be a good candidate to pair with a 5 inch wide band.

JL Audio makes very serious subwoofers. I would take them over REL. A relative has two Gothams. Wow. https://www.jlaudio.com/collections/home-audio-dominion I believe that it is better to get speakers that go lower than to add a sub. But, that’s just me. |
jheppe815, Your post had me lamenting over my pair of Marantz 8B powered DIY JBL 4530 scoops I used in a back line stage Bass rig in the mid 60's. JBL was so approachable and helpful during that period. My current back packable Upshot rig weighs just 14 lbs. That 8B was my roundabout introduction to Hi-Fi. |
