SVS Subwoofers for music?


How good are the SVS subwoofers the cylinder series compared to the REL B3, Martin Logan Depth & Dynaudio sub 350 for music? The SVS seem to be a great value. My room is small 11x15x8. Thanks for any input.

OK, I bought the new SVS PC13 Ultra recently to match with Magnepan 3.6R's and for home theater. I knew that the SVS would be great for home theater, and although I really only wanted one sub, thought chances were high that I was going want a second "fast" sub for 2 channel. When the sub came, it was great at moving air with fantastic depth, but I couldn't really get it to match with the Maggies, so as I had resigned my self to the fact that I was going to have to buy a Rel, Velodyne, Vandersteen, or the like for to match the front end. As a last ditch effort though, I bought the Velodyne SMS-1 equalizer and that turned out to be a stroke of accidental genius. I was able to then quickly integrate the sub with the Maggies, and still get HUGE air movement for movies. I couldn't be happier. I really like the SVS product. They need to charge a bit more, and include an equalization system, or breakdown and pay Velodyne for theirs. Huge improvement.
