Need your comments on Rythmik subs and others

I'm looking for a very musical sub to incorporate with a set of mini-monitors. I've been reading the threads and investigating the usual suspects. Rel seems like sub thats easy to blend in. I could get a T series but I havent read many opinions on em. The Rythmik seems like a good value. My speakers go down to about 90Hz so I'm not looking for a door slammer speaker. Just something that plays smooth and quick. I had an old Paradigm ps 1000 v-4 in the system (borrowed), but those are really hard to find. I'm looking to keep the cost down to around $1000. What say you?.....thanks

The Rythmik 12" subs (I own a pair) are very, very good for music. Some models from SVS, JL, and a few others probably outperform them <30hz (if you believe test results), but there's little to no music there. The variable "Q" is a great feature to help achieve seamless integration.

However, as usual, I agree with Bob. Bass management (I use Velodyne SMS-1 with an NHT x-2 active x-over, but SVS makes a competing unit that is well regarded) is critical to getting best results.

Good Luck,

Marty
