Haven't you been paying attention to all the Rel post?
I need a subwoofer recomendation
I've got a couple KEF Q900's powered by a Yaquin tube amp and primarily play records. I'm looking for a sub that might also work for movies down the road if I ever put together a surround system. The sub needs to have speaker level inputs and I'm looking to spend $500-$700. My room is 20x20 with a vaulted ceiling and hard surfaces. I've been looking at the HSU VTF-2 Mk5 and the SVS SB-1000 and SB-1000 pro. Is there anything else I should be considering?
On a separate note, if I head down the surround system path, I was thinking of starting with the KEF Q250 or Q650 center speaker to start. Is there something other than KEF I should be looking at that would be a decent match with my Q900's?

The SB1000 is a solid choice, but I’d recommend saving up and getting two of them as it’ll improve you’re system significantly, and SVS gives a discount for buying two. Others will probably back me up on this, but whatever sub you get, get two!!! SVS has a very generous and completely risk-free trial period (including shipping), so you can buy two and return one if I’m wrong. Why not??? Best of luck. |
I’ve had older HSU subs in my main system for 5-6 years now. They were discontinued when I picked them up on the used market. I think they are a pretty good value. At some point when I replace them,SVS,REL, and Rythmik are on my radar. @soix is correct,get at least two. |
