REL Vs SVS for 2 channel music listening

In very broad terms the larger the driver,  the deeper it will go and the louder it will play without distorting. Conversely in very broad terms, the smaller the driver the more dextrous it will tend to be but will not go as deep. If you take a look at the entire REL line-up,  I believe they have 9 subwoofers total. 

Part of the REL philosophy is to find the subwoofer match for your speaker system and listening area. I'd suggest heading over to a shop that carries both SVS and REL and listen to them in a 2 channel system. 

Well i ordered the svs sb2000.  An audiophile friend I trust told me the SVS blends really nice with 2 channel and i should buy another if all goes well.  So we’ll see. Ill report back once up and running

Don't forget to treat yourself to an Antimode 8033 room eq as well.

Does the Antimode just control the EQ/DSP portion or does it adjust volume of sub as well? I'm thinking of picking one up at only $300 or so. From what I gather, I should set sub up as normal for best sound, THEN run the Antimode for auto eq, etc adjustments.

@aberyclark   Great on making the choice. I'd add a second sub when you are able to do so.
