Rare as most tire of the visual and trade out for small cubes. There are technical advantages to using large volumes and cylindrical shapes
There MAY be alternatives to the $400 amp BUT being a cylinder we would need detailed info to see if they physically would fit in existing amp location. Around $200
You'd be hard pressed to get something for $500 that would output like the cylinders potential
All of that being said, $400 from SVS ( make sure you verify it fits ) is not a terrible price from a manufacturer supporting a vintage product
For me with $500 to spend upgrading amp and driver could turn that tube into improved monster that could go another 10 to 15 years
