Dual SVS PB-1000 Pro versus Dual Rythmik LV12F- does Servo Technology Matter.



I have a 10 by 12 room. The room is a closed off bedroom and we plan to live in this house for 30 years or so until we can’t live independently. Equipment will be upgraded over time but we will be using the same room forever. Our AVR is a Denon 3700 and our main speakers are Monitor Audio Silver S6 with matching center. Surrounds are Primus P162. Our previous sub was a BIC V1220.

While the subs will almost certainly work hardest for home theater I do want something that also works well for serious music listening. I primarily listen to classic rock but some jazz and classical does get into my mix now and then.

I am still mostly sold on the SVS but I wonder if the servo technology of the Rythmik might give me somewhat better performance for music.

I realize that dual of either one of these will be a huge jump in performance for us but I am wondering the Rythmik might have advantages for music while still being great for HT.

Other people on other forums have also suggested Outlaw and the Hsu VTF-2 Mk5.

Any thoughts on this, please?

Thanks,

bladerunner6, welcome to AudiogoN.
Speaking for those who are obviously offering suggestions by sharing their actual experiences, apologies for the somewhat elitist snark that the well fertilized internet seems to produce. 
Clearly, your 'seriously' interested in your speaker systems performance and this is the Speaker forum. Welcome.

Rhythmik.  I have an E15, sb3000, and vtf2, and 3 different bass guitar set ups.  
Low down and dirty? I'd love to hear what your playing through.
I'm a Fiddle player paired down to an Acoustic Image Focus 2R/Upshot rig and sometimes just the Avalon U5 DI. One trip to and from the car.
Hello OP,
I wish MC would give you one of his smart but sarcastic postings. For someone who has 5 postings that was very rude. We do get a little snarky around hear and if you took offense to my snarky remarks, I do sincerely apologize for that. Unless I took what you said the wrong way I do believe there was no snarky remarks in your last post. We can look up what things cost and give you better option from all of our experience. Can you fathom how much money was wasted on mistakes In this forum. You talk about people not having a lot of money. We know! That’s why we offer advise. A lot of us know the median income is $60k. Regardless of what you make or what you have it is stupid to waste money. A penny saved is a penny earned. My A$$. A penny saved is .0125 earned. Don’t forget the taxes. So the next time you ask for help give detailed information. That’s on you. You made that mistake. We have asked that over and over. Plus when you do get the great advise. Just say “thank you”. We do not work for you. I still cannot believe you were giving us an economics lesson in an audio forum.

Other audio forums will likely give you advice without all the drama. This forum has become more contentious over the years. Sadly, the reliable, experienced, thoughtful participants comprise less and less of the dialog. 

The reason, I’m my opinion, is that this site is hosted by an entity that offers services to individuals and companies that wish to buy and/or sell audio gear. Getting rid of forum members is tricky for that reason. I get it.


Forums that are run and moderated by enthusiasts are more likely to purge troublesome forum participants. It’s a more conducive environment for a hobby. It’s enjoyable and fun.


I enjoy this forum and appreciate Audiogon hosting. Audiogon themselves are the subject of criticism at times, which is not cool in my book. It’s like whining because you didn’t like the free sample cocktail weenie you just bit into.


This whole tough love audio advice idea puzzles me. Since when did the hobby of stereos and related products become so rough and rugged?


It’s not uncommon to read posts where members are afraid to tell their spouse what they spend/spent on audio. Not exactly pirates….


Bottom line is, you can navigate these waters without all the storms. Use your patience wisely and have fun.
Set a price point and expectations relative to the room,
then all those out of the question suggestions will or should 
be eliminated. 
Generally people have a need to justify "their" purchase or
opinion without consideration of the OP inquiry.



I run dual Rhythmik F12’s along with two Rel T7i’s with great success in my two channel rig. All integrate seamlessly with my KEF LS50 Metas. Takes a bit of time and patience to get them correct, but evens out any standing wave issues. I started with one Rhythmik and things just got smoother as I added! I have a small listening room with judicious treatment. I also have a separate theater set up in another room, so am not able to answer to that, but I can recommend Rhytmik for their speed and musicality and the Rels add a bit more punch!
