Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: Rythmik

I recently helped a friend put together a new stereo. He has a pretty small space in NYC, so wanted to keep the gear footprint as small as possible. We decided upon the following, for speakers:

Satellites: Silverline Minuet Supreme Plus

Sub: Rythmik F12G

His primary source is a Mac Book (only analog output for now, but soon, he'll get a DAC), and amplification is a ShengYa hybrid tube/ss integrated.

He's absolutely thrilled with the sound, and though the Rythmik is a big, powerful sub, he was able to get it very nicely blended with the little Silverline speakers, resulting in good, well balanced sound filling the room. He does have a good sense of "live" sound, as he just retired from working at Carnegie Hall for over 20 years. I've known his ears for years, so if he says it sounds wonderful, it does! (too bad I'm all the way across the country just now, and can't get out there straightaway to hear it myself). Putting this system together was a telephone/email collaboration. :)

By the way - I just upgraded the sub for my laptop computer's speaker system. The new sub is a HSU STF-1 (their smallest), and I must say, I'm impressed with this relatively-not-so-little "little" sub! (just an eight inch woofer, inside a good sized bass reflex cabinet). I've got it nicely blended with a pair of NHT Super Zeros, and along with the new Schiit Bifrost DAC, this little computer speaker system is sounding great! :)
