I bought an F 12 with paper cone in ebonized piano finish to experiment with when I lived in NY. Is the high level connection really better in performance? Anyone know if using it with a Class V amp and tying it only to the bass/mid speaker output will perform well? I'm not sure how REL implements its filters to make this work. Rythmik offers it but recommends using other methods.

High level speaker connection? REL recommends it.

The L22/E22 have a smaller footprint than the single driver F12 but I'm concerned that those might be overkill. It also appears to go plenty low enough to keep up for basic HT needs.

Also stacked drivers look badass right? The FM8 with its dual 8 inch drivers will probably be faster than the larger 10 and 12 models. Things are pretty tight in my room so the smaller footprint of the vertically stacked FM8 and L22/E22 are appealing. My current subs have paper drivers and paper seems to be greatly preferred in the audiophile community.Īny thoughts on pair v single sub in my size room? One 10 or 12 is probably enough to pressurize the room but will a pair of dual 8 or 12's make everything easier and better? Is there a point where they will overwhelm the room? I've also heard that it is better at low volumes because it easier to move. The paper is lighter and has better extension above 80Hz. He recommended the aluminum in my system over the paper even for 2 channel. Do they offer equal or better quality and performance? There seem to be many fans that think so.Īny thoughts on Rythmik's paper v aluminum drivers? The owner says that the aluminum driver retains its shape faster and is more detailed. Supporting a Texas based business is also nice. If I used a high level speaker connection I guess I would have to tie into the speaker wires connected to the Bass/Mid card.Īny thoughts on Rythmik v REL? You seem to get a lot more for your money with Rythmik and they also offer more options - finish, sizes, configurations, etc. It outputs to the speakers in a bi-wire configuration.

My speakers are Aktiv by installing special crossover cards in the 5 channel Class V amp. I am considering the REL S/510 and the Rythmik F12, F12G, FM8, L22 and E22. We don't listen to either very loud or need the room to shake. Two channel music performance is the priority. I have a 15x12 room with an open side wall that I use for 2 channel and HT.
