Top excerpts
SVS, PSA and Rythmik are excellent subwoofers brands.
You can get WAY better subs for the money in brands like HSU, SVS, Rythmik, RSL
Rythmik is a great option but seems to be one of the most expensive options these days.
Rythmik - Great, but not cheap
My vote is for Rythmik

I’m basically an HSU fanboy (I own two VTF-15Hs and a VTF-2), and from a pure output / extension standpoint the TN1 wins.
tn1, not even close really. extends lower and the output is pretty significantly better.
Get a TN1-way more slam and lower extension. Sell the older subwoofer and evaluate if you want a second TN1.
I’ve got my eyes (& cart) set to an HSU VTF-TN1.
a single VTF‑TN1 is a strong upgrade in output/extension
