Thanks for the info about the Rythmik kit. I've contemplated building the Linkwitz Phoenix dipole woofer, which is probably very similar.
The Voxativ sub unit is made by them (see link). It looks like the Linkwitz dipole except I could see that the two drive units are facing each other in the H-frame. Ideally, they should be facing the same direction so that when the cones move towards each other one cone is going forwards and the other backwards. That way any asymmetry in the cone movement cancels out.
The UK magazine Hi-Fi World ran some articles on dipole bass 20 years ago. The editor (Noel Keywood) used ESL-63s as his reference and mated them with Celestion SL6000 dipole woofer. He published his own cross-over and the magazine published a simple DIY dipole subwoofer design.
At this stage I don't know which way to go, a dipole system is appealing but in a recent thread about adding a sub-woofer to Quads, Kentaja stated his preference to let Quads run full range and just use a closed-box subwoofer to fill-in the final couple of octaves. Then there is the approach of AudioKinesis (the real Asylum Duke) of using distributed box (10" cones, vented) subs to smooth room nodes that was discussed in a recent thread in the Speaker forum (and Music Reference is taking a similar approach though with 8" cones in small sealed boxes).
Anyway, sub-woofing is not at the top of my audio priority spending list but I will check out Rythmik.
Cheers

The Sanders Sound transmission line woofers work well
