Hi. Im looking for new sub (limited space) for my HT setup (movies, concert)
Shopping in Europe from local dealer
The room is 17 m2.
Denon x1800H, Dali Zensor 5.1 speakers.

The price of SVS (SPL), and REL (SQ) is not so good:
SVS SB 1000 pro: aprox: 750 Euro (promo 640): 5 years warranty
REL HT 1003 MKII aprox 750 Euro, 3 years warranty
or very budget sub: ELAC SUB 2030 approx 480 Euro.

I Know the SVS goes down to 20 Hz (-3 dB), app, But build quality wise, after watching this:
SVS SB-1000 Pro - zerlegt - disassembled
I'm looking for REL for their reliability.
SVS not posted, is there protection on board, or I'm wrong...
The bass SPL its not my priority, but the build quality of audio components first, and bass quality second.
Also after wathing this, the easy setup for all brands speakers
Best small subwoofer of 2023? REL HT-1003 MK2 Review!
Thanks.
P.P. My English its non my prime language.

I chose SVS 1000 pro + SVS (RCA) soundpath cable.
Great sub. But i need to tweak calibration (Audysey) to perfect match with the speakers.
P.S. Tnx for Everyone.
 
SVS SB 1000 Pro is a very good sub if you don't need very high SPLs (which is probably the case given the small room size).
I have the older (not "Pro") version and it is more than enough for my similar size living room.
Good choice, hope you get a lot of years of enjoyment out of it!
