best SVS subwoofer for music?

I had a couple and of the 1000 series and was happy with them in a music applicaiton.  the new Pro series has a phone ap so you can tune it from your listening chair.  I'd go with 1 or 2 of the 1000 series unless I listened really loud.

REL makes very musical subs, and I can personally attest to that.  SVS is supposed to be their main competitor in the "musical sub" category

I was using a pair of SVS SB4000 subs with my Thiel CS6 speakers.   They integrated fairly well giving me that last bottom octave.  Since going to the Wilson Sasha DAW speakers I can now see how the subs used with the Thiels did not integrate perfectly between 20-50 Hz but perhaps if I had played around with room setup more I could have made it better.  One thing, the subs make it easy to get the bass you want while being conveniently placed where you want- at least 95% there I would say.  Using the phone app to set phasing and levels is very handy.

Be sure to check out the subwoofer guide on the SVS website.  Plug in your speakers and the SVS app will tell you the best subs to match your speakers as well as other settings.
