Gets back its original release price back in 2024, before all the tariff-driven and oil-war inflation kicked in.

Community Reviews
The Speedwoofer 10e comes across as a strong value ported sub for small offices, 2.1 desktop setups, and modest home theater rooms, with enough output to pair well with bookshelf speakers and even support a second sub later. It is praised for punchy, weighty bass, good music performance, and a wider, smoother response than some sealed rivals, while RSL's customer service and resale value add to the appeal. The main tradeoffs are its large footprint for a 10 inch driver, limited deep bass below about 26 hertz, and no Bluetooth. A solid fit when space and ultra low bass are not the priority.
Owners wanting a second sub for smoother room coverage, because dual placement evens out bass across seats and reduces peaks and nulls.
Apartment or office listeners pairing bookshelf speakers, because it adds strong bass without needing extreme gain and sounds incredible in smaller rooms.
Home-theater beginners building their first real bass setup, because it delivers an easy entry point that can stay in the system long term.
Movie-focused listeners in medium rooms, because the ported design gives more output and weighty bass than a sealed sub.
Music-first listeners in small enclosed rooms, because the ported design can sound less satisfying than a sealed sub for undistracted music.
Listeners expecting deep subsonic bass, because it only reaches about 26 Hz and will not deliver strong felt output below 20 Hz.
People needing a tiny cabinet for tight placement, because the enclosure is large for a 10-inch driver and can be hard to hide.
Buyers who want proven long-term reliability, because one report says the amp plate died after a few months and support never replied.

Sold my two for $750 each, in a day with much interest.
Keep in mind these won't go/hit as low as the sb3000 but will give you a wider, smoother of it's response/performance.
Going deeper isn't always better, these are a perfect example.

If for music, this doesn't sound anywhere as good as a sealed SVS. I say that because I had both. Returned the RSL.
If you can pull it, the SVS is a lot better than this. Being ported, this is better for movies than music, but after owning both I'd still rather have SVS sealed even for that, over these. Plus, the SB-1000 Pros have bigger drivers in a much smaller cabinet. Not to mention you tune them from your chair, have presets, etc. No getting up and down and up and down. Got both my SB-1000 Pros for under $450 each, open-box from Gramaphone via Amazon. Full warranty, etc. One came new, the other I can't tell for sure if it had been opened.

I agree it's not a fair fight, so him saying the $300 10e is better than the $1200 SB-3000 just sounded funny.
If you have the space, and it's for home theater...these are fine for a $300 sub... but they're a $300 sub.
Especially considering most movies are primarily dialog & music sound.
There are real subwoofer maniacs there who change out their subs like socks and are constantly looking at upgrade paths, who have tons of direct experience across different brands and models. Sales shills are easily weeded out, unlike here.
I will say that SVS offers two clear advantages nobody else in the industry does: "free" return shipping, and a very handy smartphone app. (I put quotes around "free" because it's clearly built into their pricing structure, so you pay for it whether you actually use it or not.) Oh, and they are the last major company to offer a CYLINDER sub form factor, since Hsu dropped theirs couple years ago...if you want the smallest horizontal footprint.

It does work very well & especially good if you don't have it on your AVRs RC(ie Dirac Live).
