I am considering replacing my old Velodyne HGS18B THX Ultra 2 subwoofer with a pair of Rythmik subwoofers. The application is for music only in a 2800 ft^3 room. My miniDSP SHD will be used for tuning.

I wish we had more information on distortion over the bandwidth vs output level for the Rythmik L12, F12 & F12G. The L12 looks nice, but does not have XLR balanced inputs. I would need to add a XLR balanced to RCA singled ended instrumentation amplifiers to the back of each L12. I don't want long cable runs of unbalanced RCA low level signals.
The L12 subwoofer plot of distortion is not real clear on output level for measurements, although the review earlier has a CE2034 plot which indicates 100dB SPL at 30Hz. There is no similar review or plot for the F12 & F12G.
I guess, if one does not play music at too high volume levels, a pair of L12s should work fine with a pair KEF R3s. The hard part is figuring out what volume level would be considered too high, over 100dB SPL across most of the music spectrum?
