Short answer: the SVS SB-5000 R-Evolution. Both are rated 4.2/5 for sound quality (#79 and #55 of 143 subwoofers), and the SVS SB-5000 R-Evolution costs $1,799 against $2,127 for the Rythmik FV15HP, so with nothing between them on sound quality, price settles it.
The case for the SVS SB-5000 R-Evolution: A sealed 15 inch subwoofer with a powerful amplifier and app based room calibration for tight, deep bass. Watch for: No independent measurements yet, so its output can’t be compared directly with ranked subwoofers; the rating is estimated from the measured SVS SB-4000 it replaces (120.1dB in the CEA-2010 bands it completed).
The case for the Rythmik FV15HP: A 15 inch ported subwoofer with output matching pricier rivals, plus balanced and RCA inputs for flexible setups. The catch: Premium price ($2127), ported design room gain dependency, and mid-to-large 114.6 lbs (52 kg) footprint.
Buy the SVS SB-5000 R-Evolution. Both are rated the same for sound quality, and it costs $328 less than the Rythmik FV15HP.
Worth knowing: the SVS SB-5000 R-Evolution has not been measured yet. Its rating is estimated from related models, with a likely range of 4.0 to 4.4, so treat this verdict as provisional.
