SVS or REVEL Subwoofer


Hello all. I have a HT set up.  I use it for two channel music, multichannel music and movies/tv, in that order.

After 20 years, my Velodyne (1250  watts RMS ) sub blew yesterday and I’m looking for a suitable replacement.  I have B&W 804 speakers and a  B&W CC speaker which are driven by a Rotel Power amp, 200w x 5.

My room is 14 ft. long by 12 ft. wide.  I use Anthem’s ARC Genesis room correction software.  It works great.

My dealer carries a full line of both REL and SVS subs.  I would like to buy from him.  Looking for thoughts and recommendations from this group.  I’d like to keep the cost around $2K.

Thanks!

B&Ws DB series woofers are excellent. As you know they have sophisticated and highly effective digital room compensation adjustments which are accomplished via your Bluetooth connected smart phone. The series includes the smaller DB3s in their top group. A pair of these fine subs is most certainly all you need for music reproduction. I use them to supplement my Wilsons in a large room.  The fake home theater soundtrack noise isn’t present in music reproduction.
