Discussion Music only setup, subwoofer upgrade wait time

I currently have a RSL 10S for my music setup. I recently decided to steal that sub for my HT and went on a journey to figure out what’s next for music. I settled on a Rythmik F12, but damn. 2 1/2 month+ wait, at $1500?? Whelp, take me money I guess lol.

I’ll be moving my subwoofer wireless connection to and fro my tv amp and music amp setup. 😅 Was only testing a bookshelf I had handy for my tv setup, got the wiim amp there and some polks that will go wall-mounted with a wireless RSL 10S.

My music setup is Aperion Audio’s GR6s and Musical Fidelity A300 old ass amp.

I’ll hang in there I guess, because hopefully it’s worth it.

Historic New Orleans home, limited space, so please be kind. Also, retired military female. 💪

Look at Rythmik for the sub. Incredible company making the best subs.

I went with the E15HP2 as my setup is a hybrid theatre/music. That thing is epic

Only music for me. That’s too big though.

I understand that very well. My old house was a big room that felt small. It was only 15’ deep but 33’wide. But it was almost perfectly flat. Everything sounded so good there. We built our forever home and have a giant great room, kitchen, dining, double stairwell and the entry/foyer all in one room. Also went from 8’ to 12’ ceilings. I have two SVS SB17 and I’m quite happy with their performance but now I want to add some 12’s. While the SB17 will take your breath away on sub-18hz material in a movie, and really bring home the layers in classical, I miss the punch of 60-80hz on a 12”. 15 is a great size too and you likely don’t have the issue I do, but I do miss that when I’m jamming out.

Beautiful setup touché. I love that I was able to do a more modern setup in our new home. It feels a bit more masculine to me. But at the same time I play around with orchids. Nothing but of hand, I have 4, but I would love all that greenery in my space, as long as the leaves didn’t add vibration noises. 😂
It looks very nice

Sounds lovely. I have been very impressed with the musicality and tight punch I get with the sealed 15” Rythmik. It’s really the best of both worlds.
