Best musical sub under $1k?

I’m looking at subs under $1k. My mains are KEF LS50 Wireless. The room is about 12’x15’ and the KEFs are on a desk. The sub would go under the desk which is fairly open underneath. I’ve been looking at the SVS SB2000, even the SB12 NSD which is available well under $1k at $400, the REL T/7i and the ML Dynamo 700w sub. I don’t want anything physically large so the HSUs are out.

Thanks for any input.

Hi   asahitoro,

   Recently I was displaying at a show that SVS happened to be at.  I went by their booth and to my surprise,  the US Marketing director was there and happened to be an old friend.... The SB12NSD is a product that we intended for Black Friday,  it is a blend of the 1000 & 2000.  Not sure how much better you'll get @ $1000, but for Under $600ish,  it seems to me to be a steal.  I'm under the impression that this model will eventually sell out and when they're gone they're gone,  You might call SVS to confirm.

Thanks for the replies,

Yes, the SB12 NSD does seem like a steal at $399 shipped. I think the SB2000 might be too much for my needs and I can get the SB12 for less than a SB1000. I just want something that can help the KEFs a bit when needed and again, only for music.

Thanks Erik,

I’m a big HSU fan. I have a VTF-3 MK 2 in my family room. I need something physically smaller, under 14"ish H/W/D, and I don’t see any HSU offerings that size.

I just bought the SVS SB12 NSD for $391 shipped so I’m going to give it a shot. It seems to be a good fit for what I need and the price was excellent. I got a smokin’ deal on the KEFs too so I’m a happy camper.
