Rythmik Audio F12/F12-400 vs JL Audio E-Sub e112


Hello everyone! I am choosing a subwoofer mainly for listening to music in stereo. There are two candidates, as the title suggests. Now there is an opportunity to buy a JL at a discount, and the price of the Rythmik will be much more expensive than the official one due to shipping to Serbia from the USA + taxes. So it comes out to about the same. The listening room is about 25 sq.m with two wide passages to the kitchen and dining room of the same area. The musical genre is mainly metal, but also light music with my wife. Speakers - Buchardt S400 MKII. Listening at a medium volume level, shaking the floor is not necessary, but scale, depth, weighty lows and musicality are needed. Please help me make a choice.

@sounds_real_audio Hello! I have just bought a 300W amp (for 4 Ohms) but haven’t tried it yet, I have to change 110v to 230v first. I’m sure the sound will become better!

@james633 Thank you for warning! I’ve never seen any reviews like that, everybody considers them to be elite subs. And of course I don’t want any problems and it will be difficult to me to send it back to manufacturer...

@soix thanks for advice!

@deep_333 DS1200 maybe is ok, I will read about it again, thank you. I’m not sure why, but I never considered Elac as a part of my system. Are you sure KC92 will work like 12"?

@deep_333 for the price that DS1200/1000 sells for, there is also Martin Logan Dynamo 1100X, which I find very interesting because of Anthem room correction system it has. But they all are over budjet unfortunately. 

@damusicguy okay, looks like JL is not a best option. I would like to have Perlisten but they are too expensive for me now. Maybe if I could find 10" used, but no one sells them.
