Best Vented Subwoofers under $1000. Rythmik LV12M, SVS PB1000 PRO & RSL 12S Review / Overview! 

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

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 RU-vid magic!

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

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

Great video man. Thx! Hope your problems are fixed soon 😊

I love your no nonsense approach on your channel.

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.

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.

What you say is so easy to comprehend.... Love it ❤

You are transparent than the Subs you reviewed. Learned something new, Thanks for shooting straight oh and your prod. quality is spot on. Subscribed.

Can't wait for the rythmik!

I would not sell your production value short! I value your opinion over most of the others 🤘👌 You have a quick no nonsense approach that gets to the point and helps many decide what may work for them. Instead of graphs and diagrams you have your experience and great ears 👍 I look forward to your reviews like I look forward to watching new movies in my living room Home theater 😎

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.

Nice review. Thank you.

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!

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

Keep'em coming Nemo

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!

love the vids... still dont know what sub I'll be getting to pair with my klipsch Fives mclarens, small room, but would like to have option to move to a larger room, no amps or receiver. looking at rel ht 1205, emotiva rs11, or some type of rythmik, I digress... for movie and music

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.

Looking forward to the LV12M video

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

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!

Great video.

Love my SVS sb-2000, it's a perfect match to my Bowers & Wilkins speakers

Anything for bigger spenders coming from RSL soon? Looks they did good in the budget section. Are they making a real giant, 16 inch or greater? Do you know anything from the manufacturer Nemo?

good stuff

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 .

Nemo quick question 1 fvx 15 for 2000 or dual fvx 12 for 3000 6 months apart Is the extra 1k worth or should be used somewhere else Room size 3500+ cub feet 18 x 22 x 9 Mlp 15ft from screen. 5.1.4 setup with Polk r200 and r400 mains and center Need advice

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.😊

any idea of the quality issues we see often with SVS? I also had a PB13-ultra with a blown amp. would 2x Arendal 1723 1S subs be a good upgrade?

Hello Nemo! From what company did you get those black acoustic panels you got on your wall? Are you happy with them? I would like to know where I can get them. Thanks!

The SVS 1000 Pro SB works well with my Wharfedale speakers.

You are the Best Advertisement for these products theres no more Electronics stores any Longer Keep up the Amazing WORK my MAN

I would really really like to know how the new Klipsch RP-1200SW stacks up against these. What little I've seen looks very promising. They straight-up say they've beaten the whole issue with amps not lasting, and the design looks great. I can't even get the RSL being not-in-the-US. I'll probably roll the dice on the Klipsch. Here, it costs similar money as a PB 2000 and should almost certainly surpass it on performance (albeit no app or dsp). Unfortunately also very large, or rather long. I didn't want that. But... I do want bass, and extension down to 16 hz... I can always add $225 for a MiniDSP 2x4 HD and solve the tuning issue.

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

Would the rythmik lv12m still be good for home theater?

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.

I would really like to see the RSL speedwoofer 12S compared to something in the $1200 category like the GoldenEar Forcefield 40. The Speedwoofer 12S might come out on top, but if the Forcefield 40 even comes close with a much smaller cabinet, it might be a good option for people with limited space or design constraints.

Is the RSL 12S a ported sub?

Do you really wanna send back the RSL 12s? Do ya really really want to?

Bro I had a raccoon 🦝 in my attic for 3 months that ruined my life. My roof couldn’t be sealed (Spanish tile) so it was a month long fight. And my AC went out as well-but not because of the vermin, but because the thing was 10 years old, and and it was just easier to fix replace the whole thing. So I sympathize with you 😂😂😂

Isn’t the rythmik a severo sub?

So two rythmik lv12ms or one rsl 12s

Did rythmik lower the price on the lv12m ? I could of sworn it was 769 before and now it looks like I could order one for 699 shipped actually even less because I’m a returning customer . That’s definitely something to think about for people on this sub although it only goes to 19hz is the only downside to it .

Wouldn't the SVS PB2000 pro be a closer comparison to the RSL? I got mine under $1k and power and size and much closer to the RSL than the PB1000 Incidentally selling mine since I moved to something else but it's a great sub PS - thumbed up 👆

RSL 12S or RYTHMIK FVX12?

Just thought I'd let you know, I have been subscribed for a long time with all notifications on but haven't seen a single video pop into my feed for at least 5-6 months...kinda weird, not sure what's going on

Rats eat the insulation on wires. Couldn't hurt to have an electrician check out your attic space. Do not poison the rat or you will smell rat rot for weeks.

Rats and Bats love bass LOL!

Want to like that RSL but that thing is fuggin huge. No way I could ever buy two of them.

Rythmik LV12M would be great IF you could buy it! On indefinite backorder. No ETA.

First time to check out the channel, and even though I was familiar with all 3 subwoofers mentioned, I enjoyed your take on them. Also enjoyed your narrative. As a musician I certainly want and enjoy quality sound, but "audiophiles" kinda get on my nerves. 1) Really when there are people in need others will drop $20, or $50K for a pair of speakers and their conscious doesn't bother them (we're not talking about a car now, just speakers)? 2) Then after dropping $50K the choice of music is some light jazz with a piano, drums, upright bass, and harmonica - recorded with 2 microphones? Seriously, that is NOT challenging the speakers and would sound fine on a Monoprice system. 3) Audiophiles think stereo systems and speakers are "musical instruments" thus justifying the cost. Music is beyond numbers and Thiele ratings, it's magical like nothing else, and no you don't need to have a "ridiculous" stereo system to enjoy the music, just a good one. Thought you might agree Peace. (if you want a really special set of speakers, build a pair. Everything else is pretty much out of reach.)

Timbre is the term for distinction.

The cone on the RSL looks smaller than the other two 12 inchers. It has a very latge surround, but i wouldn't be surprised if the true size is 10 inch.

I've got a smaller SVS and a Speedwoofer 10. Both companies are great. I use that metric a lot. Reliability and support are PRIMARY issues for me. I've been burnt by the leading bleeding edge and I no longer have an interest in purchasing 'adventurous' products. I have no experience with Rhthmic and withhold any opinion.

Yeah I’m sorry I apologize. It’s for a music only system that loves deep and low low bass

I prefer the truth as you see it. Do I care about prof production value-no. Thank you!

This is what you need. Snap trap (use gloves so no human smell), don't put on the floor of attic, place vertically along a "wall" or post with snap facing down, a few inches off the ground. Fill hole with Asian fish spice. It's irresistible. Bam, dead rat.

Audiophiles care about how information is presented to them in a youtube ??? Boy I feel sorry for the poor Karens.

No normal human would care, only Karens and those are not even humans. Getting the facts thru matters most. #factsmatter

Sorry couldn’t be like 👍🏼666

For a little more money i stacked two SVS SB1000 Pros and will annihilate any of these.

This video is a waste of time by people who really wan to know the difference of these subs. no measurements of any kind.
