Rythmik subwoofers?
@bdp24  ... At the time, I bought the L12 because the difference between it and the F12 seemed insignificant ... the F12 has a 400 watt amp vs the 300 watt of the L12, thereby providing an additional 1dB of sound for $400 more. Plus, I didn't thin... 
Rythmik subwoofers?
@bdp24 ... just because the L12 is a budget model, doesn’t mean that it should be less reliable than the F12. Initially, I thought the L12 would be a good deal; I didn’t go for F12 because I didn’t need its bells and whistles. After the L12 failed... 
Rythmik subwoofers?
Bought a Rythmik L12 a couple of months ago ... it failed within 2 weeks and I sent it back for a full refund. Cheap, Chinese crap, IMHO. You get what you pay for. Ultimately bought a JL e110 (triple the price of the L12, I know), BUT it’s built l... 
Recommendations for replacing B&W 804s / HTM3s
I thought of doing the same thing. Listened to a lot of speakers, and even contemplated auditioning some at home from vendors who have a 60 day, no questions asked return policy. In the end, I bought a JL e110 sub and couldn't be happier. I have n... 
What's with BAT?
I'm not too thrilled with the sound of the 6H30, as I think it sounds too clinical generally. Makes me appreciate my VK-3i a whole lot more than I do already.

"Your speakers are pretty full range so you’ll need 12 inch or larger to extend lower if needed at all. Two are better than one for balance across the room."I would think the exact revese to be true. A full range speaker should sound better with a...

@dbtom2  ... thanks for the compliments on the system. I'm not a vinyl guy, though, it's purely CDs for me. And, yes, it will take some time to fine tune, but that's part of the fun. I think if you go with 2 e-subs, then you might have better luck...

UPDATE: The e110 arrived today, and I've tried it both ways. Running the N804s full range with the sub filling in the bottom end is much more engaging amd satisfying to my ears. When I put the sub between the preamp and the amp, the sound became t...

@dbtom2  ... thanks, man! That's exactly what I wanted to know. I'm going to experiment ... now, at least I have a clue. Thanks, again.

OK, now I'm a bit confused. If I go from the preouts to the line in (and run the mains full), then I can use the external xover via the controls. If I go from the sub's line out to the amp in, does that mean I have no control over the xover, and i...

Thanks, guys. I’m running a BAT VK-3i into a Musical Fidelity A300cr dual mono amp (225 wpc). Speakers are B&W N804s, and I’m looking for a bit more "oomph" in the bottom range. Does this make a difference in how to connect the sub?

UPDATE: Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. The Rythmik is being returned and, in its place, I've ordered the JL Audio e110. FWIW, the folks at Rythmik so far have been accommodating with the return process. I will keep you posted. The e110 ...

@donvito101  ... you're welcome. Not a dig on Rythmik as electronics do fail. However, to have a piece of equipment die after only a couple of weeks just takes the flavor out of it for me and makes me want to start fresh with a different vendor.

My beloved wife says I should get the JL Audio E110, which is the higher level model with a 1200 watt amp for $1,500. She says I never buy anything for myself and that I should enjoy my system. I love her, but I don’t know if I can bring myself to...
