What Customer says about Audio

SVS Pb-2000

  • This sub woofer is amazing, i listen to a lot of bass heavy music so the upgrade from my 8 inch 100 watt Yamaha to this was much needed. this sub woofer can pump out super low frequencies with ease.
  • Its ability to switch frequencies on the fly is what differentiates it from other sub woofers on the market. when listening to heavy bass EDM such as G Jones, Tipper, or Bassnectar it performs wonderfully and can create massive sound pressure in my room with no problem
  • Good sub that delivers solid low frequencies.
  • Punchy, tight and accurate sound down to about 60hz, Significantly worse from there down.
SVS PB 1000

  • It delivers as much low frequency punch as I will ever need in my (1,500 cubic-foot) home theater room, and the detail is superb.
  • Nice detailed sound for a ported woofer and is very powerful. Perfect for a small to mid size theater.
  • The lower frequencies never sounded more natural in my 25X50 living room, and yes, powerful enough to be felt when called for
  • The low frequencies from it just did not cut it, I hate to say it but the lowly BIC actually did sound better and fuller.
  • Not the most powerful sub out there but for the budget it's really impressive.
  • The low frequency sound gets very muddy and sloppy at times with certain music. Especially with hip hop/trap/trance/deep house

Conclusion


All my conclusions about how the differences between the SVS PB 1000 and SVS PB 2000 are subtle with music are thrown out the window when it comes to movies. There is nothing subtle about what the SVS PB 2000 offers with true LFE tracks! The opening fireworks that accompany the Disney logo energized the room, while much of their impact was lost when I went back to the SVS PB 1000.

When Clu descends into the light cycle arena in Tron: Legacy, any subwoofer gets a massive workout. The SVS PB 1000 does a very good job of filling the room with the pulsing bass line and the  explosions of the fireworks overhead. Switching to the SVS PB 2000 not only fills the room with more energy, my home theater seats actually vibrate. The SVS PB 2000 moves enough air that it causes my pants to flap in the wind when it sitting 4’ away from them.

When the engines growl during Rush, they really roar with the SVS PB 2000. The feeling of being inside a race car is enhanced when that engine is just as loud as it might be in real life; the room rattles, but I still don’t hear any port noise or other flaws. From the subway crash in Skyfall to giant robot battles in Pacific Rim, everything I own sounds exceptional with a better subwoofer. I really love my PB-1000, but when it comes to movies it just can’t compete with what the SVS PB 2000 can do.
