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!

Enjoy. The Velodyne may still be worth repairing to use as a second sub depending on model. I just repaired my DD-15 myself. It cost around 600.00.

Revel does make subs. Not that good in my opinion but they are expensive. REL makes a fairly decent sub. They don't go very low for a sub though. SVS makes a great sub for the money. Velodyne makes great subs but are expensive.
