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  Bought the REL S/510 today.  Thanks for all your help!

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.

Dealer had to order it from California.  If I don't like it he will give me a credit towards another model.  He's a great guy and has always done right by me.

Enjoy. The Velodyne may still be worth repairing to use as a second sub depending on model. I just repaired my DD-15 myself. It cost around 600.00.

drlou77 I don’t’ doubt your description of that comparison. Sadly, it’s now quite obvious how it came to be. Please read REL’s actual free trial policy from the link below.
