Dual SVS PB-1000 Pro versus Dual Rythmik LV12F- does Servo Technology Matter.



I have a 10 by 12 room. The room is a closed off bedroom and we plan to live in this house for 30 years or so until we can’t live independently. Equipment will be upgraded over time but we will be using the same room forever. Our AVR is a Denon 3700 and our main speakers are Monitor Audio Silver S6 with matching center. Surrounds are Primus P162. Our previous sub was a BIC V1220.

While the subs will almost certainly work hardest for home theater I do want something that also works well for serious music listening. I primarily listen to classic rock but some jazz and classical does get into my mix now and then.

I am still mostly sold on the SVS but I wonder if the servo technology of the Rythmik might give me somewhat better performance for music.

I realize that dual of either one of these will be a huge jump in performance for us but I am wondering the Rythmik might have advantages for music while still being great for HT.

Other people on other forums have also suggested Outlaw and the Hsu VTF-2 Mk5.

Any thoughts on this, please?

Thanks,

For the few people that posted useful information and comments, thank you.

However, I have learned various things from this post:

I will be more concrete in stating my budget when posting on Audiogon.  Just because you can spend $5000 or whatever on subwoofers doesn’t mean most people can.  The median US income is a bit over $60k a year.  After food, clothing, shelter, insurance, telecommunications expenses, heating, water, sewage, taxes, retirement savings etc most people can not  spend untold thousands on audio equipment.  My lovely wife and I make a fair amount above the median but we still have limits.  EVERYONE should keep in mind that different people have different budgets.

Also, if I ever ask a question again on Audiogon I will ask that people that believe in cables, power conditioning, the superiority of analog, etc to avoid posting.

You are wasting your time, you have no credibility.  I say this for both your and my sake.

There is no point to you posting something that I will ignore.  You not posting to my questions saves you time, so please understand this benefits you.


Again, I thank the few helpful posters.

Well, if that’s the way you feel about it then don’t say something like...

When you say “serious music listening” on this site people will always point to your AVR because no one here “serious” about listening uses an AVR, and if you don’t understand that then it is you, sir, who have the credibility problem here.  Either just say “music listening” or post your suggestion on an HT site where you won’t have to suffer people who truly are “serious” about music listening and are more on your level. But don’t come on here and tell us our intentions are misplaced the way you asked your question. It’s not our responsibility to somehow know we need to dumb our answers down just for you.

I really do not care. 

Cheers!
bladerunner6, welcome to AudiogoN.
Speaking for those who are obviously offering suggestions by sharing their actual experiences, apologies for the somewhat elitist snark that the well fertilized internet seems to produce. 
Clearly, your 'seriously' interested in your speaker systems performance and this is the Speaker forum. Welcome.

Low down and dirty? I'd love to hear what your playing through.
I'm a Fiddle player paired down to an Acoustic Image Focus 2R/Upshot rig and sometimes just the Avalon U5 DI. One trip to and from the car.
Hello OP,
I wish MC would give you one of his smart but sarcastic postings. For someone who has 5 postings that was very rude. We do get a little snarky around hear and if you took offense to my snarky remarks, I do sincerely apologize for that. Unless I took what you said the wrong way I do believe there was no snarky remarks in your last post. We can look up what things cost and give you better option from all of our experience. Can you fathom how much money was wasted on mistakes In this forum. You talk about people not having a lot of money. We know! That’s why we offer advise. A lot of us know the median income is $60k. Regardless of what you make or what you have it is stupid to waste money. A penny saved is a penny earned. My A$$. A penny saved is .0125 earned. Don’t forget the taxes. So the next time you ask for help give detailed information. That’s on you. You made that mistake. We have asked that over and over. Plus when you do get the great advise. Just say “thank you”. We do not work for you. I still cannot believe you were giving us an economics lesson in an audio forum.
