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!

Thanks for all your input.  My local dealer has offered me a great deal on a B&W DB2D.  It meshes perfectly with my B&W 804s.  Way over my budget but hard to turn down, maybe.  More to come.

I own the 4000 after having the 3000, 4000 a very big upgrade much more tunefull 

and bass fully adjustable from your app ipad or droid.

I've never used REL but I had one SVS SB12-NSD (now discontinued) that was fine. But then I started searching for other gently used ones after reading about the benefits of a sub swarm. Now I have 4 of them and the bass is spectacular.

I have an SVS SB 3000. It has several controls on the back that at the time. Our EL did not have. I like the fine-tuning feature ability. It connects to my smart phone. I have lots of suggestions for any brand of speakers. For set up. Are used theirs and fine-tune it in my room. Fantastic!
