Besides the connectivity options, I wonder how subs from studio companies compare to say a Rythmik.
How do Neumann subs compare to Genelec subs? I've honestly never looked at Neumann subwoofers. If they're similar, then I'd say they're likely not competitive with the best ID subs from a price/performance perspective. For example, just one of my RS2 subwoofers out performs both of my 7370a subwoofers combined, despite being $500 less than an individual 7370a.
However, from a size/performance perspective, I'd say they may better than the ID subs, especially when you consider that they're only working with 400 watts(instead of 4000 in the RS2). The amount of output they get from a single 12 inch driver and just 400 watts is insane . I have a few 12" Infinity subs in another room and I was comparing them with the 7370s today, and it's no contest, the 7370s smoke the R12s. I'm guessing this insane size/performance has a lot to do with the spiral port design. It's kinda like a cinnamon roll, if I understand correctly, which allows them to really increase the length of the port without increasing its overall size very much.
