Need opinion of which subs to get


I have been doing a lot of searching, now just looking for input on best sub that would match my speakers. I have it narrowed down to dual SB12-nsd, or dual Rythmik F12SE, or maybe dual Epik Empires. these will be for music only, no HT, I am looking to boost that lower octave if you will, any input appreciated.

Current equipment:
Classe CP-35 preamp
Audio Research D-130 Amp
Tyler Acoustics Linbrook Signatures(1 piece)

Jerry,

How big is your room? I just picked up a mint SVS SB13 Plus which is about 95% as the same sub as the SVS SB13 Ultra. I am totally blown away by this sub for music and HT. I added the SVS to my existing Revel B15 which I consider the most musical sub I have ever heard. The SB13 Plus matches the B15's attack and speed and from my short time with it, bests it in dynamics.

Don't know what your budget is but the SB13 Ultra is currently selling for $1599.00 shipped for either finishes. I know dual SB12-NSD's can be had for $1149.00 shipped but the Ultra driver from the SB13 Ultra is worth the price of admission, IMO.

"I am leaning towards the SVS sb12-nsd as cost is somewhat an issue. BTW rooms measurements are 13 x 24."

Jerry,

Dual SVS SB12-NSD's would be a fine choice for that room size. I do understand budget restraints and they definitely factor in most of my purchases.

Good luck with the purchase,
Bill
