Sub Question. One higher quality sub or two lesser quality? (Rythmik vs HSU)


I have narrowed my choices to one Rythmik Audio G22 Dual 12" subwoofer or two HSU Research ULS-15 II. I am trying to keep my budget to under 2K. I like the fact that the Rythmik is servo controlled and seems to be of higher quality. But I also like the thought of two subs vs one.

What say ye, Audiogoners?

Thanks for all the replies so far. My inclination at this time is to go with one VTF-15H II with the thought of adding another (or more) if necessary. My room is pretty large and bass friendly. I've never really had an issue with standing waves and actually integrated one Martin Logan sub with some monitors several years ago with no problems. Since the CW IV does very well on it's own, I really need something with high output at lower frequencies. Hopefully I will get lucky and one is all I need.

Still thinking, but this is the way I'm leaning.

I asked Brian at Ryhthmik about the F12 and he didn’t think they have enough output to match the cornwalls in my room.

The speakers have great bass on their own. The room is 25 x 15. I am just looking for those lower octaves. The cornwalls are NOT bass shy.

I ordered the Hsu VTF-15 II yesterday. Thanks for all the input from everyone.

You may have been looking at my system profile. I no longer have the X3s. I now have Cornwall IV loudspeakers. Even though I know they aren't doing much below the mid 30s, the bass they have is excellent. I am just looking for something to augment that lowest octave.

Well that's the trick. Finding two of anything used at relatively the same time isn't easy.

Yeah I saw that pair a couple days ago. Although it looks interesting, I'm not sure that they could keep up with the output of the cornwalls.
