Has anyone heard any of these DIY subs from Rythmik? http://www.rythmikaudio.com/products.html They look intriguing... |
To Matjet - I have had a Paradigm SUB1 for about 2.5 months. It's integrated with a full seven-panel Magnepan LCR set up (3.7s, DWMs, tri-center). I've set it up to run with both music and for the LFE. The SUB1 is fast enough to keep up with the Maggies. I compated the SUB1 with the newest digital B&W and a JL F113. The F113 was my initial target (replacing a very good Paradigm Seismic 12) but after listening to all three at the dealer (talk about a physical workout moving subs around) I felt that the hexagonal design would help reduce some of the room effects, the total surface area provided the oomph I was looking for, and the Perfect Bass Kit (or whatever they call it) worked very well (prior to a second run-through with my Meridian g61r room correction tha manages only the <250Hz signals). If cost were truly no object I might go for a JL Gotham, but I've found that unless the room is really large the Gotham (and the Humungous Wilson Audio sub) tend to overpower the music and detract from movies. To borrow from Dennis Miller, "But that's just my opinion, I could be wrong."... gordon |
