Revel makes speakers (or at least did so in the past) and REL makes subwoofers/ I assume you mean REL. That’s the brand I would get over SVS. As a side note, we have a dealer here in Ohio who did carry SVS. The partnership went south because (according to the dealer) the company started selling direct at a lower price than the dealer could offer??? No a really reputable thing to do IMO.
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!

@2psyop Sorry, you are correct. I meant REL subwoofers. I understand your perspective completely on SVS' business practices. Do you own a REL sw? Would you have an inclination on their offerings around $2k? Thanks! |
drlou77 I have Rythmik dual subs for my 2 channel system. I don’t have a home theatre at all so I didn’t look at multi use subs. I think REL works very well for your intentions. If it were me, I would try REL without question. Perhaps your dealer could allow you a short in home trial. That would build up confidence in the brand and your dealer? If I didn’t own Rythmik, I would go with REL. The 1510 looks like a beast!!! |
