B&Ws DB series woofers are excellent. As you know they have sophisticated and highly effective digital room compensation adjustments which are accomplished via your Bluetooth connected smart phone. The series includes the smaller DB3s in their top group. A pair of these fine subs is most certainly all you need for music reproduction. I use them to supplement my Wilsons in a large room. The fake home theater soundtrack noise isn’t present in music reproduction.
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!

I would check out REL's HT lineup. Obviously great subs, at a very reasonable price. After my Paradigm sub ($2000) died, I decided that I didn't want to spend that much (just like you apparently) on something that might die in a decade. The subs cannot be repaired. The REL HT/1205 MkII (get the newer MKII, not the original version 1), which just came out within the last year, can be found on sale, new, for $699 (from $849 list). Personally I think that it's a fantastic deal. Driver: 12 in., 300mm long-throw, CarbonGlas cone structure, inverted carbon fibre dust cap, steel chassis Amplifier Type: NextGen5 Class D Dimensions (WHD): 16.25" x 15.25" x 17.25"

@fastfreight I made the comment up the thread that the REL HT series does not have the high level inputs. One has to go up the line to the REL T series to have that input option.
