I had a Velodyne for years and went with JL Audio over REL, but only because it had it's own ARC adjustment. For you with ARC, I'd suggest the REL.
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!

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!!! |

Whatever brand you decide and especially because you’re using the sub for 2-channel music I’d recommend getting two subs. You could get two SVS SB2000 Pro subs for under $2k that will get you down to 19Hz (-3dB) and would be good for both music and movies. They also come with an app that allows you to dial in the subs from the listening chair using your phone, and they offer a risk free, 45-day trial including shipping both ways, which is also nice. Not too familiar with REL subs but not sure you’ll get down to 20Hz with them at your price point if that’s a concern. Best of luck. https://www.svsound.com/products/sb-2000-pro
