Rythmik is also a direct servo sub which is most definitely a clear step above normal ported subs. Non-servo are simply not fast enough to keep up musically.

Ported gives you more dbs, less tone

Ive had the SVS PB-3000, Klipsch SPL 120x2, rel t9x2 and rhythmik E15 in head to head in my theater. The difference for music between ported and non, and servo vs no servo is night and day for pure music listening paired with my Sonos Faber concerto floor standers.

The SVS created the most pressure for the room and the loudest db response under 25hz, but was the loosest for musical playback besides the Klipsch. RELs were great, but not enough umph to pressurize the room and too expensive to step up to their next tier. Ports generally created too much boom at high volume losing the clarity of the instrument (think a stand up basing going up and down scale).

Most will let you try them for a limited time and send back if unhappy. Try that first.

Monolith's subs actually have lower distortion than even Rythmik's servo. PSA is also using professional audio drivers with super light cones and ridiculously strong motors. They too are just as fast, musical and low distortion as Rythmik's servo (talking ported subs here).

there are many ways to skin that cat these days with modern drivers and DSPs.
