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!

Room size does not have to limit number of subs (sonically) unless you literally have no room. My 4 SVS subs measure roughly 14" on every side. They're small, but the combined 4 allows them to be individually quick but collectively powerful. Not overpowering. Bass response is perfectly smooth and tight throughout the room. And my room is quite small.

Thanks for your detailed feedback.  You convinced me to pursue the S/510.  My dealer gave me a generous discount and I got 0% financing until 1/25!

Congrats! I’m sure you’re gonna be thrilled, and let us know what benefits you hear once you get it dialed in and have some hours on the if you could.

drlou77,

I can't imagine that beast of a sub will not do the job well. Enjoy and after it's dialed in ...let us know how well it's working out.
