Any feedback on Rythmik Audio Subwoofers?


I am looking for a new subwoofer to complement my Green Mountain Europa Speakers. Specifically want a music sub, not HT. Roy at GMA likes the Dayton 12 MkIII for a low price solution (since I can't afford his!).

Does anyone have experience with the Rythmik Audio sub's? How about with Direct Servo solutions?

Thanks in advance!

I own the 12" version and love it. I have a dual system, Audio & Theatre. I plan on buying a few more. I want to setup a stereo sub configuration as well as a couple extra for the theatre system.
I just Bought a Rythmik Audio Sub's. I bought 2 15" subs. I built 4cu. foot boxes to put them in. So far I am very pleased with the results. I would do it again if I had to. It's amazing to hear the difference. I have not found the words to describe what I hear, but it seems to be music and not noise.
I bought one of their 12" sub a month ago. I'm very happy with it since I can hear very well some clean, focussed and tight bass from the lower frequences under 60.40.20.14 with no problem. Something I've been missing for so long. The 15 month old Velodyne sub had to go(sold out). I can't believe the difference this sub makes in my B&W 800 system.
PRICELESS! PRICELES!
This new guy packs up enough punch to knock out any competitor, no matter the price range.
And you can always return it within a month if you dare not liking it.
I purchased one of Tyler Acoustics DS12 subs; this using the Rhythmic A370-PEQ DirecServo amp and one of their drivers. I'd echo the comments from others above, as this sub is extraordinary not just for the price but compared to other quality subwoofers. Plenty of drive but very well controlled . . . . capable of very focused sound. In combo with Ty's D3M monitors it is a standout speaker system.

In my 30 x 40 x 12 high listening room, the single sub works just fine. So much so that my initial thought of having two subs is still that . . . a thought, with still no compelling reason to purchase the second.
I use a pair of Rythmik 12" subs in my music only system. Measured response in my room is flat to 30hz(technically, it's down app 2 or 3db)without EQ. I use a Velodyne SMS-1 sub controller to smooth a couple of room nodes and extend response to 25hz (-0db). This covers about 99.999% of all musical signal with impressive on-axis accuracy. These subs blend smoothly with my Ohm 100 or Maqgie SMG mains (I use the SMS-1 to optimize the x-over function) for a neutral balance, wide bandwidth system at a reasonable cost. The Rythmiks @ app $1500/PR. + sms-1 @ $450 + Ohm or Maggie $600-$1700/pr. make for -IMHO- a speaker system with an unusual combo of strengths at the $2500 to $3500 price point.

I'd note that the Rythmiks replaced a pair of smaller, similarly priced Velodyne SPLR 8 subs. The Velodynes were very good, punchy sounding subs, but the Rythmiks provide a "drier", more relaxed, more neutral sounding bottom end - to my ear. Not surprisingly, they also go much deeper/louder without the need for EQ.

There appears to be some other fine value subs out there (the 12" SVS models come to mind) at/near the same price point. I know they measure well, (test results suggest that the SVS might be even better than the Rythmiks for HT use) but I haven't actually heard them. OTOH, for music only, I can certainly recommend the Rythmiks very, very highly.

Good Luck
