@robelvick thanks for sharing your feedback.
Unfortunately for me I don't have the option to audition any subwoofer either at my place or at the distributors. Where I am located, I can buy these subwoofers currently:
1. SVS SB-1000 at $625
2. SVS SB-2000 at $730
3. REL T9i at $1,222
4. JL Audio D110 at $1,200
5. JL Audio E110 at $1,700
There is obviously a huge difference in the prices between the SVS and the others so I'm not sure if it's worth stretching that much to the REL and JL Audio ones.
I'm wondering if I should just stretch my budget like crazy and get the E110 and use that as an end-game sub which I will never change and continue to use even if I upgrade my Atohm bookshelf speakers to larger, full range ones. Is that a good way to look at it? Or is it better to just get the cheaper SVS now and look to upgrade it later? If I do go that route then I will most likely go with the SB-2000 as the price difference is negligible and I am more concerned with the size difference to be honest.
All these subs I've listed have been reviewed well and I'm just trying to understand if the more expensive ones (JLs especially) are noticeably/significantly better than the SVS SB-1000/2000 and can be used even with much larger floor standing speakers?
Also, is the REL T9i a better buy than the JL D110?
Appreciate all inputs, thanks!
