I'm Mick Wolfe's friend that built a pair of 12" Rythmik down firing subs. After asking around some I selected the Rythmik on the recommendation of Kevin Carter at K&K Audio. I also liked the idea that while you can buy factory built, you can also build your own cabinets. Since most of my components are home brewed I took the plunge. Cabinets are primarily Baltic birch ply with cherry veneered ply panels and bubinga solids for the top, framework and legs. Mine are sealed cabinets but the option exists for ported for those whose primary use would be home theatre. They took a while to build because I wanted them to like like fine furniture that performed like a quality audio component. The plate amp has a multitude of controls to dial in the sound for you particular room which seemed a bit daunting at first but was actually pretty easy to adjust to my environment. I think the Rythmik subs deliver quality bass that is very fast and controlled (nothing slow and flabby). It does not get in the way of the midrange and high frequency as some subs may, making their performance all the better. I built a pair of NHT 1259 subs that I used for a number of years and while I felt their perfomance was good, the Rythmiks are far superior in performance and musicality. On vinyl, "This One's For Blanton" with Duke Ellington and Ray Brown is great test for the capability of these subs. The acoustic bass and piano sound incredible. A couple of pictures of the subs are on the K&K Asylum that Dave Davenport posted on the gallery part way down the page of current postings.
