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!

The Dynaudio 18s  is under $1799. Dual opposed 9.5 in drivers, no port. 500W amp.

Very controlled and musical and gets down to <~20hz

The Dual opposed drivers mean there is zero vibration: all the sound comes through the air rather than the floor.

It has some built in EQ settings to match them to various Dynaudio monitors: both these can be bypassed and you can set the crossover point directly or my pass the setting complete and mage the bass with room correction software

I use it with my ATC SCM 19s and Dirac Room correction. Very happy with teh result.

There is also a shinier version the "Sub 6".  More expensive but functionally identical except that built-in EQ settings (which you would not use anyway)  match Dynaudio home speaker models rather than their studio monitors,
