REL S510 or S812

Hello all

Im buying a new sub. Ive narrowed my search down to REL. My budget is enough for a new S510 or used S812. My system is dual purpose so Sub has to be good at HT and 2 channel. Thats why ive landed on REL. Im not a fan of buying used because of warranty consideration mainly, but if the 812 is  considerably better than the 510 I would consider.  Does anyone have first hand experience with these subs?

I don't have experience, but I have REL and Rythmik, and for the money, I believe Rythmik is the better deal and very good at HT.

I have both Rel subs but if I were you knowing you want both HT and 2 channel I would look at the newly released Perlisten line ...if not mistaken the 10 inch is 3k and will or should do what your wanting
