I'll throw in my pennies worth of opinion. I have owned the Velodyne HGS-15 sealed sub, which will most likely blow away the EPIK Valor. It in no way compares to just one of the SVS ported subs I have. I believe there is no doubt that ported will give you more extension and get you closer to what you are looking for than a sealed sub will. Are you going to get :raped: with a $600 sub? I suppose that will depend on what it takes to :raped: you.
To me this is really a no-brainer (no offense intended to anyone)... the SVS PB12-NSD is probably going to get you about as close to :raped: as you will get with $600.
And if you place it in the corner you will probably see 15Hz when it's all said and done.

Note: In-room extension, with corner placement, will typically yield 3-5Hz greater linear extension than indicated. Results will vary based on room size, seat distance from your SVS, and subwoofer location.
