why don’t audioholics do more of the professional videos anymore? this is quality stuff

I agree with Mike T a PSA SVS showdown would really be awesome. However, to really make things interesting, I would also add an Hsu research to the mix!!!

Overpriced as fu

Does anyone know whether either of these subs use a Linkwitz transform circuit to extend the lower range capacity? Or do they genuinely reach as low as what is claimed?

arent sealed subs giving headaches for longer listenings ?

Hello, trying to decide what would be better for my home theater, some help would be greatly appreciated. My home theater room will 1300 cubic feet, 17f wide 13f length and 8f ceiling. There will be a a walkway behind the media center with no door besides that it’s a closed off room, I’m trying to decide between a pb1000 or sb 1000. Also it will be a domby atmos set up and mostly for movies. Thanks

how much more “musical” is the SB over the PB? Is it THAT much of a difference?

i have klipsch rf82 ii system with the sw115. i want to get rid of the sw115 and get the svs sb-2000. does anyone have experience on these two? i want to focus on a music subwoofer.

Fantastic Subs, beautiful piece of engineering, no question.

You can only pick 1. PB-2000 or PSA XV15? 

Mother of god. TAKE MY MONEY!!!!

ok I have to comment here based on my own experience with the pb-2000. This is a great sub, but mediocre for music. If you have small speakers that do not produce much bass the pb-2000 will likely integrate good. Larger speakers however, may not integrate very well because the speakers may have a quicker and louder bass response. This sub doesn’t integrate well with quick, bassy speakers.

The other issues is, you have to be absolutely certain you have the room for it. Yes you may have a spot for that sub, but it may not be the optimal spot. The optimal position may be in an awkward location such as in my 24×14 room. I would have been better off getting 2 sb-1000s and corner loading each. not only would those none port subs likely have quicker bass to match my speakers, but they would be easier to integrate into my room. I found the PB-2000 had heavenly extension, but I could localize the sub on certain frequencies and having such a big box in such an awkward location visually drove me nuts. If you are thinking about getting an SVS sub, I highly recommend taking more time to really consider your subwoofer requirements. I think 2 small SVS subs would be superior to one large SVS sub in most cases unless you are one of the few lucky people that has that magical perfect spot.

@Thunder, the PB-2000 has minimal port chuffing. The design is well protected to not be overdrive or create erroneous noises.  It’s a HUGE upgrade from your JBL sub for sure,

I was hoping for a better description of how tight or loose the bass was for music, especially the sealed one versus the ported. Has anyone heard both of these? Is the ported one a bit hollow and boomy?

I like how his hair matches the backdrop.
