Yes, Velodyne DD-12 and the Revel B15. Of those two the Revel is much better handling both music and film. I don't miss anything with the SW1600 compared to the Revel. I can't put my finger on it but to me the Revel sounds a bit more "digital" and "amplified" compared to the SW1600 imho. The Velodyne DD-12 does not work well with music and integrating with mains imho. I know it's popular but this is from me and a friends experience that were evaluating subs a year or so ago..
My friend ended up with a Revel B15 to his Revel setup and I got the SW1600 to my DSP5200 mains.
EU version SW1600 will not work with 110 volts I'm afraid.
DSP8000SE, DSP7200SEHC, DSP5200SE sides, DSP7200SE rears, 861v8, 210, Sim2 Ultranero 4, Stewart Cinecurve 2.35:1, XEIT CM-5E Anamorphic lens, Dune HD Duo Cinema 8K and Wireworld Platinum 48G HDMI -> UHD722 -> Shunyata Omega Ethernet. Shunyata/Furutech power-cables/filters. SR Master Fuse@861v8. Uptone Etherregen with 10MHz OCXO clock.

A former owner of a REL Strata III, my current JL Audio Fathom F112 blows its socks off. It would make an excellent complement to your DSP3100s. What speakers did you have before the DSP3100s?
561, DSP5500s, DSP5000C, analog sides and rears

It has been a while since I have built up an audio system, I used to use Linn with Magnapans. I loved the sound stage. The Meridians are very clean but sometimes I think they are a little to digital sounding.
The REL T1 is a very nice sub and looks nice enough to keep my wife from complaining.

I wonder if this is a sign that your main Meridian system is not performing up to scratch? It must be a case of placement in both cases. Being a mini-system essentially the F80 would usually find itself on a solid shelf near one or two boundary walls to load up from, whereas in the living room we always end up having to push our main speakers into positions which are less than advantageous acoustically but match the furniture!!!!
