I loved the candor in this one, filling us in on how friendly some manufacturers are and the real cost of review samples. Despite the apologies for offscreen rats and broken down A/C, the video looks and sounds great! That's YouTube magic!

[deankim]

Great review. You provide insights that other channels don’t. Ideal for people on the market.

[Damien-Lugnut]

Awesome I never thought I’d see a review of the Rythmik lv12m

[yordanaleksandrov]

I own 2 PB 1000 Pros and I gotta say that the SVS app is a blessing, as I don't have access to any other DSP and I'm limited on subwoofer placement. There was a particularly nasty +10 db peak at 50 hz in my room that made music almost unlistenable, which was alleviated by the in-app eq. Tbf home theater guys probably have other means of correcting peaks, so they don't really need the built-in eq, but for us 2 channel music lovers this is remarkably useful and I truly hope it becomes a staple for other manufacturers as well: imagine being able to fine tune that RSL beast!

I did an insane amount of research and demos and when all things considered I was really blown away by rythmik's performance to price and the depth of base while maintaining high accuracy. I personally ended up with dual FV25HP's which sadly has been discontinued. Extremely happy!

[ArthaxtaDaVince]

Your videos are as professional as I'd expect, no over-editing required, just sttaight to the point. Although I do like when you add time stamps.

Been watching for a year, love your style and content.
Gotta start somewhere! Keep it up.

[macizoc]

I love your no nonsense approach on your channel.

[FinalBossRises]

dude, I love your authenticity in your videos. Couldn't ask for more. If you can get your hands on some Perlisten subs. I'd love to hear your thoughts!

[sim]

Great video man. Thx!

Hope your problems are fixed soon 😊

[ulflarsson]

I have bought one rel ht 1205 mk2 sub. Really good is it. Buying one more soon then 😊👍🎶🔊

[racktech]

Great stuff rt there Nemo. Thanks for showing us all these awesome subs. Would be nice to see Monoprice support your channel as well . Them Monolith subs looks to be a beast of a competitor.

[mrulesoul]

I originally wanted the RSL 12 but had just enough money for the Rythmik LV12M. Now, .. I'm no pro. Living room movies. Right now I'm only running a Denon AVR with two Kef Q350's and now the Rythmik. I haven't ran Audessey yet and I have a UMIK-1 coming in the mail so I can use REW. Out of the box with subwoofer level on AVR set to 0db amd volume on the back of the sub about 5 clicks above 12 o'clock I'm shaking the windows with my AVR turned up to -15db and I'm in a 2k square foot house with a open floor plan. It gets low but it's soooo smooth. The bass is rich and smooth. I am thoroughly impressed so far and I haven't ran room correction or taken any measuments yet.

EDIT: After some testing I've found that the amp on the Rythmik is clipping and in order for it to not clip I have to turn the sub down enough to where I am not getting nearly the output I feel I require in the room. Not sure if it's placement, the room or both. I will need to teat further with REW but as of now the Rythmik simply does not have enough output.

[deankim]

I’m impressed that you sat in that position for the whole video.

[hondaphan]

I can't believe you only have a little over 19k subscribers. I think I subscribed around a year ago because I enjoyed the content and your delivery .

[zombielandiii]

I personally really love you, and your videos and I'm always greatful because you are always responding the messages and helping wherever you can.
So stop complaining about rats and haters, (nah thanks for being you ) and show us even more reviews and love.😊

[rjzlwop]

Your channel may be small with your like mighty mouse, and your channel seems to be a lot bigger than most peoples. You’re fantastic and I really did your reviews.

[edwarddiogu]

Wonderful unique review. It looked like something coming from an audio engineer/technician.

Maybe once in a while intentionally pop up something similar...

I love this review a lot.

[DingeyBasementRecordings]

seems like the rsl is the sub to go for, if your looking for the best of both worlds. sound quality and output!
