I've decided to go with... both! I am going to do a bake-off, and figure out what to do with the loser later. I've picked up a used F12SE off the forums, and am waiting on production of the eD A3s-250s. I promise to keep updating this thread as I play with the system (biggest pet peeve of forum postings is the "hey, what should I get... I promise to post my results... end of thread." There will be follow-through here, so subscribe!

Hey folks,
I wanted to throw out a very simple question. I have read through a whole heck of a lot of threads, and understand the variety of options available to me. I have read about the usual options from HSU, SVS, and Epik. I have a 5.0 system made by AV123 (X-Statik/X-Voce/X-Omni), in a medium-sized apartment, on the second floor. I am powering it via a Denon 1909. I am a weekday music & TV/weekend movie guy (so I guess 60/40 music to HT).
I have narrowed my choices to a FRONT FIRING sub, with an inclination to a SEALED sub, and SMALL footprint, given my apartment situation, and preference for music. I seriously considered the SVS PB12+ and Epik Vanquish. But I've narrowed my choices to two options:
(1) Sealed Rythmik Servo F12G 12", Sealed, Front-Firing, with GR Research paper-cone. This would be semi-DIY, where eD would build the cabinet, and I would assemble.
(2) Dual eD A3s-250 10", Sealed, Front-Firing. These would be pre-orders, at a pretty competitive price (which I can't disclose). In production process now, and will be out in a month or so.
I like bass, but I like where I live as well - hence a desire for good quality (SQ) bass, without the "rumble" and "room shaking" of a real HT sub that goes down to 5Hz (an exaggeration!). Room has a few peaks & nulls, that I have to eQ out (thinking about the BFD/REW setup).
(1) I like the thought of two very small footprint placed to smooth out EQ, or even stacked to provide a little extra hump when I want it (on the weekends).
(2) I am in awe of the great reviews of the Rythmik F12 servos, and having experienced wonderful speakers by Danny Ritchie, I am inclined to take his design advice seriously, and he swears by the Rythmik servo design.
I do hope that I have been thorough in explaining what I a looking for. These forums have been a great resource for me, and I am certain that my choice will be one of the two options described. Would love your guy's take on what I should do.
Thanks!
