Rythmik F 12 vs. SVS SB12-NSD vs. ?


Maybe the REL T7.

I'm looking to add a sub to Quad 12Ls for analog audio, not home theater, for under 1K in a 30' x 15' room. Also, I'm not sure whether to run the speakers at full range or crossover at 80. Rythmik suggested different amps for each way. Any advice?

Thanks,
Joe

Two SB12 vs. one Rythmik F12. Hard to decide without hearing any of these.

Marty, what is group delay?

Thanks.

Bob,

Thanks for the link. Better said there than I ever could hope for.

As for the audibility of the delta in group delay performance between the sealed Rythmiks (best in class, AFAIK) and the sealed SVS (better than just about all others), who knows? In either case, relative performance on this test is excellent.

As to one Rythmik vs two SVS, that's an easy call (IMHO). If you are NOT using room correction: I'd definitely go with the two SVS. IME, the FR smoothing created by careful placement of two uncorrected subs is likely to overwhelm any performance delta between two well designed models. If you have the room for two, this one's a no-brainer in my book.

OTOH, if you're using room correction, this might be a closer call.
