I'm trying to find Subs to go with my Focal Aria 926 tower speakers. I'm currently using two Polk SW10 subs. They paired nicely with my pioneer towers, but now that I've upgraded I need to get better subs, right?
So anyway, I'm trying to decide between SVS and Rythmik. From what I've read it seams the Rythmik subs are probably better, but here is the thing. When I reached out to Rythmik for help selecting a sub for my room they recommend the E22 or L22. Those are 100lbs behemoth subs! I get that my room is fairly large and to pressurize enough air I might need big subs, but 1. I don't like the idea of having to position, move, etc. something so heavy. 2. Even with my current subs I get plenty of rumble and had to put felt on lots of pictures and stuff hanging in the room and they are only 50 watts RMS!. The Rythmik E22 is 800 watts RMS! I'm scared these will bury my speakers and shake my room to death! The SVS SB-2000 is only 550 watts RMS and weighs a more manageable 47 lbs. It costs $900 in glossy black, $1,700 for a pair and has parametric EQ via a phone app. The Rythmik E12 would be a closer comparison. It costs $1,000, has 400 watts RMS and weighs 75 lbs. The SVS just seems like it would be an easier sub to live with given the lower weight and app functions, but if Rythmik is really that good maybe it's worth the trouble? It's interesting to me that the SVS has 150 more watts of power but weighs almost 20lbs less? Not sure what that says about the components going into the SVS.
Any help is appreciated.
