"...might also consider SVS's new sb-3000"+yes to considering new SVS SB-3000
I'm also trying to decide between sub brands, and am shopping dual units as upgrade from single REL R-328 which to my listening has sounded great over past 5 years.
But I got this hypothesis that for the results & performance, REL is overpriced relative to other brands. I'm still considering them in my short list, though:
- SVS SB-3000 x2 ($1899 total)
- Rythmik F12 x2 ($1786)
- Rythmik F12-300 x2 ($1400)
- REL S/3 x2 (used, $2400 + $100 ship)
- REL S/3 x1 (used, $1200 + $100 ship) + existing R-328 <= yes it can be done, got very helpful & detailed how-to instructions from John Hunter, REL owner & lead designer
