I don't have experience with the SVS but judging by the specs, it goes lower and louder than the 125 by a good margin. With your room gain, you won't miss too much in movies. And since movies are what you mostly listen to, the SVS should serve you well.

I have the 125 (actually two) and for music in my 1920 cu ft living room, I prefer it over my 500, 600 and 800. Different story though in my 4200 cu ft main room.

Good tip about the wood, Trevor.

Edit: I am assuming Eblack your hearing is "good" down to 20Hz. If not, you will need the 500. Note how the 500 is flat down to 20Hz. The SVS is flat down to 30Hz. If you're deaf down low, the 500 will give you a lot of boost right where you need it.

Edit again: As long as your hearing is good, AND you don't have mattresses lining your walls :), the SVS should be good.
