REL Vs SVS for 2 channel music listening


I have Zu Omen Defs connected to a NuForce STA200 (class a/b) amp. REL has suggested a T9/i https://rel.net/shop/subwoofers/serie-ti/t9i/

SVS has a cheaper SB-2000 which seems to be closer for half the price https://www.svsound.com/products/sb-2000

I've read numerous places that REL is way overpriced and SVS is great for music. I am aware of Zu's subs...would like to keep the price under a grand if possible. 


Opinions?

Well i ordered the svs sb2000.  An audiophile friend I trust told me the SVS blends really nice with 2 channel and i should buy another if all goes well.  So we’ll see. Ill report back once up and running
Don't forget to treat yourself to an Antimode 8033 room eq as well.
Does the Antimode just control the EQ/DSP portion or does it adjust volume of sub as well? I'm thinking of picking one up at only $300 or so. From what I gather, I should set sub up as normal for best sound, THEN run the Antimode for auto eq, etc adjustments.
@aberyclark   Great on making the choice. I'd add a second sub when you are able to do so. 
I’ve been using a couple of RELs I bought used (About 200 bucks each) that were, and are, fabulous sounding (Had to make a grill for the forward firing Q150e which was easy since it had the frame, but the other is down firing). Maybe the Q series was made better or something, but the Q108 II and Q150e are available here and there used and utterly worth it. I tighten the screws once in a while, and made Canare cables for ’em with angled Neutrik plugs, and join the leads inside AQ spades at the amp to drive both subs from speaker posts. I'm a multiple sub (at least 2) advocate, but one will work fine.
