Try them both and see which one you like best and then keep it.
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!

Congratulations @drlou77 ! don’t be afraid to move it around to what may seem non standard positions. I first placed my REL Carbon Limiteds in the very standard, ‘just inside’ my main speakers. Looked good, sounded boomy due to reflections of my back wall very close behind my listening couch. I moved them outbound, off to the sides, pointed at an angle inward. Bass boom improved 100%. I actually run them with REL wireless, so moving and adjusting them was super EZ. |
Have 2 SVS subs. 2 channel only, Rock and Roll only. Sb3000 in smaller room, and SB4000 in much larger area. Both do their job very well. I would agree with another post that the SB4000 is really quite a step up. Front LED of settings, plus both are blue tooth adjustable from your listening area, which is quite a blessing. SB4000 also offers a balanced set up, where the SB3000 does not. They also have a open box page or something similar with some really nice discounts, which I took advantage of both times. Great return policy if not pleased. Robert TN |
