It's not just the 12 inch driver circumference that makes it. It's also how deep the driver is too and SVS delivers clean detailed bass. Unlike your typical sub that has shallow drivers, this sub can be paired with just about ANY speaker because it can go below 20Hz!!
SVS speakers and Subs are more than worth the money. Having gone the full monty of upgradieitist from a SB-1000 to a SB-2000 Pro to a SB-3000 to a SB 16Ultra to a PB 16Ultra. Great Subs. Great App. Great Customer Service. Great trial periods. Is there better out there.....sure. But, when you add in all the extras combined with the performance.....it's hard to look elsewhere.
I would have guessed it to be a 10" surprising. EDIT: I love how they have hi level speaker inputs, why eveery sub doesn't have them is beyond me. you want to use them instead of having your speakers powered fro ma different device if your power amp doesn't have sub out then don't use your pre amp sub out, use he hi -input speaker terminals on the sub.
This is a great deal. To run with our comment, I agree quoting a price is not a good idea but right now the gloss is 599 and the wood-grain is 599 bargain with ether one. Nice video... Thanks I just got the gloss unit.
Man I like that intro! I love the size of that thing. Man Mike that is the perfect size for my TV room. A 12 inch the same size of a 10 inch. Love that phone app. My interest antennas are up! Love the price tag man. Great production work on your video Mike.
Thanks for the review! I'm late to the party but finally decide to upgrade my old and worn out Polk Audio 10" with this. The SB is actually smaller but offers a hell of a lot more presence and goes at least 10 Hz lower. Part of me wanted to go with the PB since I watch a lot of movies, but this is more than enough for now.
really!! i have dual PB1000 pros... i'm not exactly liking the music performance. I need higher quality towers that's the issue with ported deep bass subs.
Which SVS sub you recommend for home theater ? Here is my setup. Room size 20x20 = 400Sqft , Denon receiver 7 Polk speakers. Klipsch RW-12D dual subs. I like the sound of the subs while watching movies however for music this sub is decent but not great. So planning to purchase SVS subs.
What do you think the use case for this sub vs the SVS 2000 pro? I am still undecided if i should get the 2000 pro for my living room and worry it's an overkill with too much power.
What are your room dimensions? With correct EQ and volume via the app (or built-in from the AVR, like Dirac or Audyssey), power shouldn't be a problem. Think of it like a powerful engine in a car: you don't have to use each and every horsepower, but it's there as a reserve for when you need or want to use it. Regarding the 1000 vs. the 2000: I've been unsure about the same decision myself. In the end, because of the extra headroom of the 2000 (more powerful amplifier and stronger magnets on the driver) and the size of the room it's in (50 m2), I went with the 2000. It's supposed to be a bit cleaner as well, but it's mainly the extra power that's supposed to be noticeable.
Does it really go down to 20 at an audible level? For instance 10 feet away from it at for instance 70db? And I'm not talking about a generated 20 hz tone, I'm talking about a track that has 20 hz content
Wel played. Great review. I’m going to hunt through your channel now for some bookshelf reviews. Hoping for something on b&w 606 s2, rp600m, diamond 12.2 or bronze 100s. Keep up the great work!
@@audioarkitekts I went through your videos and wathced some of the ones that interested me the most. I really loved your podcast with Zero Fidelity. Keep it up, cant wait to see your new content!
I'm looking for mid bass boosted powered sub. Would this be good for that. I don't care about low end dig or whatever. I don't listen to lfe stuff just rock and kick drum stuff
@@LuisJacob366 200Hz and up is ridiculously high for a sub. The limit of localisation is somewhere between 80 and 100 Hz, so at 200 Hz and above, you're going to notice these frequencies coming from the sub instead of the main speakers. Yes the SVS can play those frequencies, but I really wouldn't want those frequencies coming from the sub.
@@macvos yes I understand but I have a Bose pro32 tower without subwoofer it’s too heavy and tower plays from 200hz and up and Bose sun play till 200hz. That’s the reason. I have various subs now to use with the system than you
@@LuisJacob366 sure, if that's the situation, you have to work with what you've got. But I would seriously consider swapping those speakers. Bose is/used to be fairly populair second hand, so you might be able to trade up without losing money. Decent speakers reaching to 80 Hz don't have to be expensive.
Powered on but with no signal, consumption will be in the low single digits. If you use the auto standby function, the standby power consumption is rated at 0.5W. If it's consuming 325W, your neighbours and probably their neighbours are going to notice.
How does “Made in China” escape a review of this length? Of course I wouldn’t have known this had I not seen it prominently displayed on the box sitting outside the front door. Thanks dude. What a bummer. Party foul. Have a good mind to unsubscribe
