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!

Not sure why people are making comments about two subs being "too much for your small room".

I suppose if you turn the volume up on both, then the two would overpower the room, but two subs are only as loud as you want them to be.

It's like saying a Porsche Spider has too much horsepower to drive the speed limit.

Makes no sense.

The reason to have two subs is because two subs sound better than one and will give you smoother low frequency response regardless of the size of your room.
