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!
Re: high level inputs vs low level-- I would check some hifi blogs about this. On whatsbestforum.com, the suggestion is that low level might be the better way to go. Personally I have not tried this out, but Kal Rubinson, who is a senior editor at Stereophile, says that low level inputs are better to use. And again, personally I am no longer interested in spending >$2K on a sub that might die in a decade, like my last sub. That's why I'm suggesting the HT-1205 @$699.

You helped yourself. After which ever Velodyne you were using you"ll see soon enough. Is there a REL free trial period? All the best. |
