Rel t9x or Rythmik F12G


Trying to decide between these two. Similar price. I have a small room (11 x 11) and I am trying to compliment Klipsch Forte 3’s. Looking for the best sounding bass for music only. Anyone have experience with both that can expound on the differences? Amp is a PL Evo 400. I also use a Dynaco solid state rebuild amp.  Thanks

Small room. I’d go with a pair of REL T5x. I have REL S3 and love them. Even though the 5x are small, they work well in a small room. You don’t want to overpower the space.

Complete no-brainer... Get the Rythmik F12G and call the trash guys for Rel disposal.

+1 for a pair of REL T5x.

I have a pair for my little AR M1 speakers, but I also use them when I’m using a set of Tekton Pendragon in my 12 x 18 room. Easier to set up to blend with the mains when you use two subs.

If you listen to a lot organ music then maybe get the Rythmik :)

 

I’ve had both and would go with Rythmik.  I’ve had many REL subs over the years and enjoyed all of them except the T9x.  I had a pair and just could not get them to sound good.  The Rythmik goes a lot lower also.  My experience with the T9s made me question their quality and price to performance ratio.  They market their new aluminum drivers as an upgrade but I think their old doped paper/pulp ones are better.  At around $1100 shipped the Rythmik are a tremendous value.
