BTW, the Tyler subs are up for grabs. If you are interested, PM me and we will work something out. I live just South of Charlotte NC.

I've heard them. He speaks much truth.

For a brief moment, I imagined you bought 2 more and the more I thought about it... the more I think you should buy two more!- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit.

Although there is absolutely no need to buy four. It would be kinda "cool" to stack one right atop the other for a 4 woofer array for each side. Genesis does this on their TOTL rigs...
Although, I would not need another pair, I would need 2 pair more. For a room that is only 13x15, I do think that would be a wee bit of overkill.

In this case, utilizing a capacity in which greatly exceeds what is required to get the job done correctly.
I know there is no overkill for you when it comes to bass. Ever. Period. If I bought two more pairs, you would goat me into getting 3 more to flank the other corners....I know your tricks there big guy.

I hope to one day have a proper listening room in order to utilize a Rythmik sub. Been reading good things about their subwoofers for years and would love to finally experience one.

Same here, Drew. I’d really like to try a servo sub (or two) in my stereo. I’m unsure as to whether matching a sub with planar speakers will be possible. I’m willing to try, though.
-
Absolutely maxward. The ugly sub I talked about earlier that turned me onto servo subs to begin with was easily paired with a pair of Apogee's.
Just to clear the air of possible perceived confusion.....Drew, any room that is fit for any other type of sub? A servo sub will work in. There is no "servo room standard". The F-25's performed just as good in a huge room with two levels as it does in my 13 x 15 listening room. I thought they would sound worse in a smaller room but I was incorrect in that assumption.
Oh, BTW Trey. I remember you had mentioned that there would be a break in period with these because they would be stiff from the factory. FWIW, I did not detect any discernible changes from right out of the box until now.

Oh yeah I mainly just meant a listening room in an actual house versus a shared apartment space.

I've had a pair of Rythmik's little Subs, the F8's in my set-up for a couple of years now, one of the best improvements I've made to date.

Mike, I have always loved the look of your setup! Clean lines, great colors, excellent cable management, tubes, acoustical treatments and it's all laid out so well. (plus, it's clean as a whistle!)
Very nice, sir!

Thank you Tom, I spend a lotta time in there. Btw, I was steered toward Rythmik by your posts/pics of your setup. I'd love to have a seat in the Sweet Spot one day
-
Ah, I did not know that. Cool! Any established member of the forum is welcome anytime to come and enjoy the sweet spot with their own musical selections. Just hit me up and let me know when you will be in town. I reside just South of Charlotte in SC.
My wife knows me and usually skidaddles out of the house with the youngin' or goes out of town when my audio buddies come and I live far enough away from my neighbors that playing extremely loud levels will not bother them. In other words, we can have fun listening for hours on end.

Hey man, I was in my own "White man can't dance groove". Kimmie laughed hard and simply shook her head, walking away rather ashamed when she saw that video. Dancing in 5 pound boots isn't the easiest but I made it look good, didn't I?
Okay, don't answer that.

You ever seen a stomp dance...those work boots is all they wear...don't blame the shoes 2-channel: Modwright KWI-200 Integrated, Dynaudio C1-II Signatures

Yes, actually been to a couple of them. They are awesome.....but I wasn't stomp dancing. I was practicing my ballet.

Actually, Ron. You reminded me of something (getting back to audio).
The other day when I was listening to Yim Hok Man's "The Poet of Chinese Drums", the array of sounds from the lower octaves coming form the rig/Rythmik's were very much like what you would hear at a stomp dance.
The last one I went too, albeit many, many moons ago, was on a risen wooden planked stage and their were about 40-45 dancers on stage. I was about 30 rows back in the center isle (dead, smack center) with about 60 or so rows behind me in an auditorium of a High School. No amplification, no music, just the sounds of stomping on the stage by some really talented and tight dancers.
I always wondered back then if I would ever achieve a sound system that would even come close to this. Capturing the essence, the size of the venue, the sheer power and authority of the sound pressure coming up off that stage, along with the deep bass that emanated from up underneath that stage along with the crescendos that occur naturally during a proper stomp dance.
Your post made me think. While I may not be able to perfectly reproduce the sound I heard that day or at other stomp dancing concerts, I have become so incredibly close with what I have, it's almost hard to believe. I definitely have the ambience, power and authority. I can definitely and easily tell what size venue I am in during playback, whether it be a small nightclub, a small studio, an auditorium, an outdoor venue or a full blown Woodstock.
I believe the one thing that I did not get was the sheer power and authority of the sound pressure coming up off that stage, along with the deep bass that emanated from up underneath that stage. Even though the sound pressure in my room with these subs and mains will pound through your core and as quick as they come, they are gone.....it's just not quite the same. Those who have been to a stomp dance concert know, especially if that stage was lifted up off the ground and the entire stage literally becomes the biggest drum one has ever heard.
Don't get me wrong, I got a good sampling of it but I do not believe any sound system could emulate that correctly. It's like saying that your system could sound exactly like a train or a bolt of thunder. While there may be no replacement for displacement, systems will always have their limitations.
With that said, to put it into perspective? I have achieved every aspect of the stomp dance recreation in my room with the exception of that. Without the Rythmik's? I would be nowhere even close.
That's about the best way I can describe it to something you can relate too. Which reminds me, I need to look up where the next stomp dance off is. They are way-cool to attend and definitely an experience to behold.

Tom,
I believe you are getting very close to "geek" territory but from a different direction. It's a good thing.
I like those drums. My first experience hearing huge percussion drums was at the 1996 Olympics. Everyday, there were performances of Japanese Taiko Drums on a huge raised stage in the park.
Most Coca-Cola employees were assigned an "Olympic Job" during the games. Already downtown at headquarters, I made a point of enjoying them as many times as possible. I thought the drums cast an unreal sensation in the park each time.
I know your Rythmik subs must sound great!"Sometimes you have to look to the past to understand where you are going in the future"Anger is just anger. It isn’t good. It isn’t bad. It just is. What you do with it is what matters.
