Bought the wrong subwoofer!

I was planning to buy a Rel subwoofer but stumbled across a good deal for a SVS sb-2000 pro so I decided to give it a try. Turns out that the the pre-outs on my integrated amp aren’t pre-outs at all but are rec outs (should have put on my glasses). The Svs doesn’t have high level inputs and my amp doesn’t have pre-outs so I’m screwed right? Guess it wasn’t such a great deal after all.

anyone banging on in absolute terms should be dismissed summarily

Precisely. That's why I summarily ignored your post.

I Sold the SVS yesterday. Going to pick up a Rel Britannia b3.

"Going to pick up a Rel Britannia b3."

That's a 15 year old design when the company was R E L, not "REL."

Completely different  company, with different direction.  . Part of the last lineup  when it was still  made in England.

I use 2 B3's. They do the job, but are a different animal compared to the current "REL." 

Hopefully, you are aware if it has a problem, you're SOL, as REL does not handle issues with R E L products.

for 2 channel music, don't but an SVS. The Rel is a great sub for 2-channel music, but for 1/3 the price, get a Rythmik F12G with the GR Research driver. It is very close in sound quality to the Rel S line and also has speaker level inputs.
