Short answer: the Edifier T5s. It ranks #2 of 73 subwoofers by sound quality, rated 3.8/5, at $199.99; the SVS SB-1000 PRO ranks #4, rated 3.7/5, and costs $599, so there is little reason to consider the other one.
The case for the Edifier T5s: An affordable ported 8 inch subwoofer with strong output for its size, a good bass upgrade for a small to mid size room. The catch: The 400.0H x 398.8W x 169.9D mm cabinet and 22.9 lbs (10.4 kg) mass still need deliberate placement and calibration.
What the SVS SB-1000 PRO does well: A compact sealed subwoofer with tight bass and huge output for its weight, best for music and small rooms. The catch: As a sealed box it gives up output in the deepest octave: 91dB at 20Hz and 97.7dB at 25Hz, where a ported subwoofer like the RSL (Rogersound Labs) Speedwoofer 10S MKII reaches 100dB and 105dB.
Buy the Edifier T5s. It is rated higher for sound quality than the SVS SB-1000 PRO and costs less, so only choose the other one for a particular feature it does better.
