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,

Rythmik for music, that's an easy one.. The reason for servo tech is music, nothing to do with HT.. Just like HT has nothing to do with music.
Unless "The Little Mermaid" singing counts.

They both make boom boom, ONE is better for music..

I use GRs OB servo and direct coupled Mid bass in IB cabinets. VERY controlled, VERY tight.

Either will work if you get rid of the floor and wall delivery system
Decouple, it's night and day for clarity and bass timing issues..

OP just a bit of information. GRs OB servo kits use Rythmik servo plate amps.. They added a step baffle (increase db in a certain range). Good AB plate amps.. Quiet, with quit a few options.
