Svs, Rel, or ?.

I going to buy a pair of subs to use with my Dynaudio XD200 wireless speakers for music. 

 

I can put a sub by each speaker and want to keep the size down as much as possible. Medium sized room, the signal for the sub is from a Blusound Node. I’m not a bass head, but appreciate tight, tuneful bass. 

 

The Svs micro is interesting to me, but I’ve read favorable reviews for Rel through the years, especially for music. Unfortunately, there are no speaker outputs for the Rel, just the Node output. (I’m not sure how critical the speaker outputs are to the Rel’s ability to blend with main speakers.)
 

Svs micro vs Rel T5i, what are your opinions? 
 

Other compact sub recommendations are welcome.

 

Thanks!

I currently have SVS, Rythmik and REL subs in my system. Of the three, Rythmik has the best sound followed by the SVS. The Rythmik has a little less output power than the SVS and the REL. The REL was the toughest to integrate due to the lack of a variable phase control. I also had to make a very minor modification to the REL so it would be compatible with the other two

I wondered if the Rel was as strong without the high level inputs.

IMO, I found using the line level inputs on the REL improved its sound. It was cleaner, i.e. less distortion.
