subs for Sonus Faber Cremona M floor standing

My system includes Mac C2300, MC2102. I have it narrowed to the JL F113, Rel or SVS. I am looking to integrate it to the system... Not for the boom boom boom. This system is 2 channel for audio not home theatre. As the SF are amazing I just want to bring a little more low end back into the system. I was running Klipschorns biamped before this so I am missing the walls shaking ;)

He's my dilemma: I already have one REL 505, and I can find another on 'Gon for about $1000. If I switch to the Velodyne DD12 (same piston size as the 505)I will want/need 2 and the cost will run to $3000+ if I buy them used.

My question is, will 2 DD15's truly outperform 2 505's? I mean hands down, no questions asked undeniably better?

Thanks,
Mike

Raul,
I own a pair of SF Cremonas along with a REL R505 subwoofer. I would like to add a second sub, and was considering another 505, but after reading your posts I am now considering a Velodyne or 2. However, I also have the option of 2 Rel 505's along with a Velodyne SMS-1 for sub equalization. What is your experience or thoughts on this combination? I have an integrated amp, so I don't think it will be possible to roll off the bottom end of the Cremonas using the SMS-1. I would use the SMS-1 only to modify the sub output.

Thanks
Mike

Okay - just back from the Velodyne website where I found the Optimum 12. The Optimum 12 is a bit more than half the price of the DD12 plus - so what would I give up if I go with the Optimum 12 over the DD12? And is there any experience with the Opti 12?

Would the Opti 12 be considered better than the REL505?
