Which Subwoofer


I am a multi sub/swarm acolyte.  Upgrading my current dedicated media room, but will move one day and build from the ground up a room 2-3x the current size.  Anything I do will be moved to the new room.  The current room is 2200 cubic feet of space.  I have put together a 7.4.4 Dolby Atmos room.  Now that I have put accoustic treatments in the room the highs and mids are great, but my 2 B&W ASW610 just don't have the oomph of low end.  Yes, I installed several diaphragmatic absorbers (Acoustic Fields) to keep the room boom down.  I have started to add amps to use in the new room.  Current equipment

Denon AVR-X6700h
Anthem MCA 225
B&W CM8 S2 LCR
B&W in walls and in ceiling.
Will put the 10 inch subs in the rear corners

Possible upgrades for the new room 9.5.6, Legacy Audio Aries, Marquis XD Center, Silhouette sides x4 and Rear wall, Stratos 8 ceiling x6.  Will add an 18 inch sub in middle rear of the brands below and add another 2 of the subs below to the side rear.  Anthem MCA 525, and another 2x Starke AD4.320 amps.  Will replace Denon with Trinnov, Storm Audio, Acurus Processors.

Which of these two subs would you recommend?  I want something between SQ and SPL because I listen 2 channel, but not critically.  I just enjoy good music of all genres.  

Salk Rythmik G25 x2
Seaton Sound HP+ and HP-

Size matters so nothing bigger than 20" wide.  Height and depth not so much, but the two above meet all of my requirements.  I want something the digs deep.  I also want something that brings value.

Millercarbon, I already have my subs on isoacoustic platforms.  The new subs will sit on some diaphragmatic absorbers.  The tekton 4-10 and 2-10 were on the list.  They just don't have any frequency response curves.  I understand fr don't make or break a speaker, but would like to know that the go below 20hz.
We are also talking about
SALK - 3600 WATTS RMS
Seaton Sound - 4000 watts RMS
Tekton- 600 watts RMS
Millercarbon Tekton says they are 20hz-120.  I want to see how they measure both anechoic vs in room.

Anyway Jim Salk recommends a 15 over 2 x12 or 4x10 inch woofers for digging deep.  He says you get a lot more low frequency.  I love your system and respect you knowledge.  I believe the 2-10 and 4-10 is better for music, but theater it is about size vs surface area.  I am about to buy 4-15, based on my 2 options.  Once I reach my next room I will have 8-15s and one 18.  Verses 16-10s. The Legacy Audio Aeries have 4-12s with 2 speakers.
@big_greg from mybresearch Power Sound Audio is like SVS toward SPL vs SQ.  The S3012 does look very nice.  We are talking about almost $550 savings per subwoofer.  I would put the Power Sound Audio in the same category as Seaton Sound.  The finishes on Seaton just look better than the Power Sound Audio.
Auxinput, no worries my friend.  I agree with you on the Seaton Sou d having one amp.  Many people speak highly of Seaton Sound, but Rythmik just seems to be the best of both worlds.
Auxinput Salk makes the custom cabinets, but does use the woofer and amp from Rythmik.
I decided to go with the PSA S2410 subwoofers for the rear of my room.  I ordered them 2 weeks ago.  Hopefully will be here in a week or 2.
