REL Vs SVS for 2 channel music listening

I have Zu Omen Defs connected to a NuForce STA200 (class a/b) amp. REL has suggested a T9/i https://rel.net/shop/subwoofers/serie-ti/t9i/

SVS has a cheaper SB-2000 which seems to be closer for half the price https://www.svsound.com/products/sb-2000

I've read numerous places that REL is way overpriced and SVS is great for music. I am aware of Zu's subs...would like to keep the price under a grand if possible. 


Opinions?

RELs and another well made subs "charge the room" somehow and that makes things sound more real…but certainly the pebbles would be useful, especially in the bottom of an aquarium. Also, bass does improve you masculinity, and makes you slightly taller.

@chisaz  Don't forget the mouthwash! : )

+1 on you post! Enjoyable read, to boot.

I’ve been missing out, a lot.

Try an REL, you’ll be shocked (in a good way).

Since I started this thread, I have moved to a dedicated listening room with room treatments and bass traps. I'm still using the Antmode to calibrate my sb2000 sub (still only one). I'm thinking of moving up to a pair of sb3000's. The newer SVS has calibraion apps, I'm not certain if the SVS calibration would better my current AntiMode.
