**Pinned Comment** Everyone keeps asking about how it compares to the SB1000 Pro, It's fairly staright forward: I love the SB1000 Pro and it is in fact my favorite SVS subwoofer, it has a ton more features by way of the cell phone app and is much smaller so it's great for anyone with a major space constraint. While both are great subs the RSL being larger will have more output overall. SQ between the two is similar enough. I suggest you choose based on physical dimensions or features if you need them.

@@EDCAssociate hey bro, that's a tough one, I've never had both subs here at the same time. My memory is a little hazy but I want to say the RSL still has a thicker bottom end because it's ported while the SB2000 Pro had a little more in room extension and a slightly cleaner sound. I really couldn't say with any confidence which one was outright better but if my memory is service me well the SB2000 pro should take the edge. Really take this with a grain of salt though.

Great review as always. I have a MkI and a MKII, also have dual SB2k’s and two lower end Elac 10s for the bedroom, have had some Polk junk.. have listened to many over the years and I will concur there is absolutely nothing that comes close to checking all the boxes: construction, power, depth, control, size and not least, customer service as a RSL. When they did the preorder the website crashed and when I called late in the day they were all sold out. Whomever answered the phone said they anticipated that and put a few away for customers that couldn’t order online. Absolutely stellar.

I wanna add something. Must be coming up on three years with these things, used daily. Have them on auto standby, they always get signal and start right up. I've had subs where that goes out and you have to leave them on all the time, not these. No hiccups, not even a slight issue. Amps built into subwoofers are notoriously sketchy, especially for $399, but these things are just dead reliable. Build still looks fantastic, they aren't falling apart anywhere. Premium ownership experience. Full phase control, all you get in a REL is a 0 to 180 switch. Full phase control lets you really dial in a pair of subs to where it's flawless. With phase switches, I guarantee you it doesn't sound right. Perfectly blended, linear, punchy, fast, powerful. Useful to 20hz in my room. Lmao, RSL, you guys are awesome!

I used to go to their showroom in Canoga Park back in the 80's. They had a couple of sets of JBL's on their wall of sound and in many regards the JBL's sounded better but the RSL's sounded pretty damn good too- especially since they cost much less because you bought them directly from RSL. After that showroom closed I assumed they became extinct like ADS or Boston Acoustics.

Well I finally took the plunge and just setup my new RSL10sMKII. I had to put in in a corner, but with a really low gain setting, (a pinch off of, off), WOW what a difference. I'm no electrical engineer, but there has to be something about 400W making such an improvement at such a low gain. Don't just buy for the quality...RSL's customer service is top notch. Joe Rodgers answered my email's promptly, and helped with some mounting solutions for my bookshelves (CG-23's). Starting out with speakers crossed over at 90hz, and SW a touch over..."Shine on You Crazy Diamond" is sounding magical...what more could a guy ask for?

I have the Bose Companion desktop speakers (with built in amp) and the Speedwoofer 10S MKII connected to the RCA outputs on the back of a 2017 Vizio 48" TV. I'm very impressed! The A/V Reciever I want is out of stock. Beings it sounds this great with a stock TV, can't wait to here it connected to a high quality reciever! You helped me make a decision to go with this sub.

I have one of these on order. Should receive early next month. I thought I was going to get the SVS SB 1000 Pro. Never heard of RSL, but somehow ran across their site researching for a nice entry level sub. I wanted to raise the level of my modest 2 Chanel system. A PS Audio Sprout100 with a pair of Elac UB5’s. I rebuilt a vintage Pioneered turntable and the system sounds pretty good. But as usual, looking for that next level…. It never ends. Anyway, nice to hear very good reviews on this subwoofer.

it depends what you value and what your budget is. If you value output & extension then the ported RSL will be the easy choice. If you're not so worried about max output or extension and are instead more focused on having the best fidelity & sound quality then something like the REL T/X range is an easy choice. They're both really good but also very opposite.

I passed on a used PB-2000, half because I could not be sure about the unit's abuse history, but also half because I haven't heard anything negative about the Speedwoofers. I prefer the output of a 12" woofer, and if RSL ever gets a 12" to market I would definitely be hopping on the train for one. I'm really looking forward to hearing some really clean punchy bass again. My old 12" has seen much better days, and I've no real use for low frequency extension as it'll be in a 2CH setup. Thanks for the review, I haven't seen a MkII review pop up before yours. :)
@NemoPropaganda

if you don't need the extension a pb2000 would be overkill, it's greatest strength is it's ability to rumble!!! If you're looking for more SQ and don't need gobs of low end extension look at the REL TX range.

Rythmik L12 is a big upgrade over the Speedwoofer in terms of SQ & nuance detail. The sb1000 pro has a ton more features so if that matters to you that might be worth the extra $160 but the RSL is a little larger and a ported 10" outperforms the smaller sealed 12" in this particular comparison. The RSL is hard to beat.

Ok first of all I want to let you know that you are one of the most articulate, knowledgeable sub woofer reviewers I’ve ever heard of or seen,keep up the great work brother! So here is my question, I do have an RSL Speedwoofer 10s. I also have 2 Velodynes spl 1000 in immaculate condition a little while ago I did a little test at more than reference levels on both Velodynes and they still impressed me, then I turned them off and decided to test the RSL Speedwoofer…. And to be honest I think the RSL Speedwoofer almost kept up with 2 Velodynes spl 1000, like I said these are in immaculate condition. Do you think 2 RSL Speedwoofers would tell me about to forget about the ol skool spl 1000’s? By the way I’m talking about 15 years old subs, but if you know about subwoofers, these little things were the shiet back then. Will definitely appreciate your honest response.
@NemoPropaganda
@NemoPropaganda 2 жыл бұрын
Hey Luis, so the SPL range from Velodyne was good for the time, tons of output in a small package but they were very monotone. Changing the freq knob almost has no impact on the overall sound. The subs tend to make the same sounding bass just at different volumes. Personally I'd buy another speedwoofer and sell the old Velodynes.

@NemoPropaganda
@NemoPropaganda Жыл бұрын
music only? Keep in mind all subwoofers have a sweet spot, if you have them turned down too low because the room is too small for them it's like driving a sports car at 5mph. Theater doesn't have this problem because their dynamic swings are much more extreme. With that said I would not run dual SB3000 in that room, those subs sounds best at louder volumes. Vented subs on the other hand tend to have a wider sweet spot and are happier at a wider range of volumes so the RSL 10s would get my vote however if you have dual SB3000 money why not get a pair of Rythmik FM8 or REL T7X or on the cheaper side REL 1003 MK2? Personally I'd want a pair of smaller subs in that room since positioning will be so important.

Got me intrigued and I have a question for you: I replaced a B&W ASW608 sub with a REL T5x. difference is huge and I love the integration of the REL to my system, the speed and texture the bass has! All awesome, but I have a serious issue with the REL. The transformer is noisy and I am able to hear it even 9ft away!! Drives me nuts! hearing that very faint "humm" in my bedroom convinced me I need to get rid of it! By the way, REL changed the transformer for a new one but I still can hear the "humm". Do you think this RSL would be a good option? or does the Rythmik L12 would be a noticeable improvement? or any other suggestion under $800? It would be used exclusively for music in a bedroom setting. Definitely more interested in quality of the bass than quantity. The speakers are a pair of KEF LS50 meta and the amp is a cambridge CXA81. As always, THANKS!

No this RSL would not be a good option, while its very good and capable of a lot more bass output and extension than the t5x the sound quality difference is too far away from the T5X. Hmm, that's unfortunate that you're experiencing transformer hum, if the plate amp has been replaced and its still doing it theres a good chance its something in the home electricity or your sound system. Your high level cable isn't all coiled up is it? Have you tried swapping to low level to see if that makes any difference or disconnecting signal all together? If you disconnect all signal and it still does it then try a different power outlet, try a different room, try using a power strip, etc... this will help isolate what the problem actually is. Anyhow I digress. The L12 will be on par in terms of sound quality and is a very reasonable alternative that will offer up tremendously more extension.

I've ordered a 10S MK2, but the shipping would be about $100. If I calculate the VAT on top of that, which I have to pay for importing it, I'd be at around $630. At that price point, would I be better advised to get a $600-650 sub that is locally available? If so, are there any that you'd recommend? I've tested the SVS SB-1000 and PB-1000. The while the SB I don't like soundwise, the PB are just too large.

I have not heard the 1003, only the 1205. Vs the 1205 the ported RSL has a more pronounced bottom end and should have more output overall, that's no surprise as a ported 10" generally can outperform a sealed 12" all things being equal. The RSL is the easy choice if output & extension are primary concerns (theater) on the music side of things the the lighter weight moving mass and fast filter set of the 1205 will make it an easy recommendation as it can blend in with damn near anything and integrate amazingly well.

So happy you reviewed this, Nemo! I've had mine about a month so far. It's almost too much output for my tiny apartment. We talked previously about the R100 vs. R200 and you recommended the 200. Well, I threw caution (and wallet) to the wind and ordered R700s that arrive in 2 weeks. I read the R700s come close to full range, so I'm curious to see if I feel the need to keep the Speedwoofer after some A/B testing. P.S. I almost went with the SVS SB-1000 Pro over the MKII, as it seemed to be the common recommendation for a mid-tier sub, although they recently bumped the price to $600. How do you feel the MKII compares to the SVS, Nemo? Thanks for the honest and straightforward review.

The old 1205 V1 is gonna give you better sound quality overall but can't match the speedwoofers output. Since you're mostly on the theater side of things I'd lean towards the RSL because it's sound quality is good for the money and its output is great for the money. If you want the best of both worlds you'll have to dig a little deeper into the pockets and go for something like the Rythmik LV12M which is going to be larger than the speedwoofer and +$280 more. If you can swing it buy once cry once. You won't regret it. If the RSL is at the top of your budget though it's literally the best sub under $500 and can't go wrong.

That review is pretty old, I have updated the pinned comment but I'll paste it for you here: This review is fairly old now as is this specific model and things change. I feel this (ASW608) subwoofer is overpriced in todays market (in the USA) If you like what I said about this subwoofer here are 3 alternative options that are way better, around the same price, and all the popular sizes: Rythmik L12 (12"), REL HT1003 MK2 (10") or REL T5X (8"). Naturally the 8" REL T5X is the most similar to the ASW608 so if the size was important for you that's what you want to get. The main difference is the T5x has a little less extension at lower volumes but much better fidelity overall. The 1003MK2 and L12 are better than the ASW608 in every way.

I love having clean bass for music as I listen to many genres but also love a sub to creep up suddenly and punch me hard. Seems like both would work but what do you think would edge out over the other?

I love the SB1000 Pro and it is in fact my favorite SVS subwoofer, it has a ton more features by way of the cell phone app and is much smaller so it's great for anyone with a major space constraint. While both are great subs the RSL being larger will have more output overall and a more confident bottom end. SQ between the two is similar enough but the SVS takes the edge ever so slightly but the RSL should be able to fill a larger room and have a fuller sound. I suggest you choose based on physical dimensions, output capability, or features if you need them.

@@NemoPropaganda I usually run subs at about 50% output if I have two of them. So in That instance would the bottom end be pretty similar for the two? Most of my listening is not reference volume.

Another great review. Thank you! I have a question for you on the MKII (I apologize if you already addressed this-I didn't see it). The MKII seems to have a new LFE DSP mode. When you set the crossover to LFE (knob switched ccw), the DSP increases low range gain and extends bass. With LFE switched off, the MKII is supposed to behave more like its predecessor in so-called "music mode." And if you low pass from your preamp, you just max the cutoff frequency on the sub. for "music mode," i.e. LFE switch off on sub. My question is did you compare these two modes at all? And would the "LFE mode" only be appropriate for HT? I'm mostly interested in stereo music listening and 2.1ch TV watching. I have an Emotiva USP-1 preamp and was thinking of using its bass management to blend Arendall 1961 bookshelf speakers with the Speedwoofer, since MKII is just within my budget (if I can get my hands on one!). Then I start thinking to myself, maybe I should wait and save up for a Rythmik L12. Cheers!

my preamp doesn't have any bass management so if I set any sub to LFE it just plays full range so I I was not able to test that. I do also use my system like you for music and 2.1 TV. With the arendal 1961 you will need to blend high and the L12 has a much better midbass region than the 10s so I do suggest saving a few more shillings and going for the L12 instead.

Do you have any idea what it is, or am I dreaming?, because I can't find any mention on their site?

I’m running dual sunfire 10” true subs and love them but the amps are failing. Price to repair is nearly the speedwoofer price. Don’t know if you’ve heard those old true subs or not but if so, would it be more worth it to repair the sunfires or go dual speedwoofers. Any advice is appreciated.
@NemoPropaganda
@NemoPropaganda 10 ай бұрын
I have not, those are pretty old and long discontinued. I would just say keep in mind depending on how the driver was made the suspension might be worn out or at the tail end of its life, the adhesives that hold the surround to the basket could start to fail, and I doubt a recone kit is available. Is it worth putting money into them? Depends how much you like them. IIRC those true subs were around $1k each in their time so I'm not sure if a sub in todays money that's half the price is as good, maybe it is, I'm just not sure. Maybe try emailing the guys at RSL, they're old school, maybe someone on their team has some experience with the true sub, it's worth a shot :)

Done the research and spoke to Joe at RSL via email. Going with dual speedwoofer 10s mkII’s. I feel going dual setup on these will really add a lot as I do music, movies, and video games. My mains are Polk RTiA7’s which I love and I think the RSL’s will really add to them in a great way. Presale went live today and they already sold out. Gotta wait for the next round.
