SVS PB1000 Subwoofer

Practically next day delivery even under lock down conditions. Very fast seller feedback, too, in response toquestions. The speaker came doubly packed for protection; two persons to unpack it are recommended as the thing is quite big and heavy. UK plug was included.The speaker does not come with cables, which does make sense, as what one needs often depends on the setup. I had two options determined by the size of the speaker: one requiring short cables and an RCA-splitter to duplicate the pre-amp output [or alternatively RCA output from a Bluetooth receiver]; the other one a long cable (7m) and making use of the speaker's internal 80Hz-filters and RCA audio outputs to the main speakers. Both worked fine without much fiddling.The two options were determined by the possible locations to place the speaker, which is relatively large (it's brother, the SB1000 is smaller and would have allowed for a few more options). I checked dimensions (size and weight) before buying; the speaker appears even bigger than suggested by the size measures. It's now located in a corner of the room, blends in nicely, without attracting much attention.I watched and checked many product reviews about this speaker and others to finally converge on either the SVS SB1000 or SVS PB1000. the SB1000 seems to score somewhat higher for classical music and is a little smaller, yet providing the same level of quality. I think either would have been great for me.The speaker goes with a pair of active JBL2328P studio boxes which do have pretty good bass already. JBL had a matching sub-woofer for these, but it's not easily available anymore. The PB1000 was worth the buy. It does significantly and convincingly extend the spectrum into the lowest frequency range at high as well as low volume. I can't put the setup on full volume often as if I do it makes the walls vibrate (of a medium sized room).Some people report difficult setup procedures. Perhaps I have been lucky, but I can't confirm that (volume at 2o'clock, cut-off 50-80Hz, phase had minor impact). The auto-switching also works well unless at low volumes. It switches on almost immediately, but stays on for longer when the signal is gone. At low volume the speaker sometimes switches off.Overall, the buy was worth the money.A few months later: Did I say, I like it? I like it ! It fills the room with phat sound!!I saw it's down 10% Go, get it as long as you can.

This is my first subwoofer, so I don't have much to compare to other than my speakers, Dali Zensor 3s. The difference in movies for rumbles, explosions or dramatic music is incredible, it makes a massive difference when watching films and I pick out on sounds which I wouldn't have before.

Well worth themoney

It’s hard to believe you can pay so little for a sub that punches so low while keeping its composure. Saying that it’s a large box that’s the other half won’t approve of! However for the money there little to compare it too. Check out reviews online for more details.

Very happy the way this drops i don't think I've heard a subwoofer drop this low.

This is an absolute beast for smaller spaces - actually a bit too good. However if I could have afforded it I’d have gone up to the 2000 or 2000 pro series, and moved to a sealed box. You’ll get nearly as good low end but a lot tighter and accurate sound, plus it would have an amp you wouldn’t have to worry about pushing at reference.However, that all being said, it’s a great subwoofer -as long as you have the space for it, and have chosen your placement very wisely. The sealed box version is smaller, and would be a bit more relaxed about placement. However that does come with a cost of the low end hz.That’s why I would suggest going for a 2000 pro and sealed versions (if you can afford it), as the performance difference is negligible in a much smaller package. Plus a higher

Purchase this awesome svs kit it will rock your home theater like godzilla in a box
