Pros

Svs sub replaces a larger subwoofer. Great for music, especially classical and acoustic music. Movies with * fire feels and sounds like being at the gun range - very punchy and jolting.

Still sounds full and even when it's bringing the sound effect boom boom, without overpowering the room at high volumes.

Small size (13 cube) easlily fits under my desk in the footwell. Perfect for this 10'x12' room with standard 8' ceiling. My living room isn't that small either - about 12x20 with a really high ceiling as it's a loft style. The svs with more power and ...  Read More

This fills in the lfe and some of the missing bass punch from my speakers perfectly. Once you dial it in (and dial yourself in) it is a completely different world of bass. Speaker (high-level) inputs allow for a very clean stereo sub installation.

Svs sb-1000 keeps perfect pace with the kefs. It is compact and easy to place too. This is better than the 12 m&k v176, and the b &w asw608. Svs sb-1000/2000 is a real window-shaker.



Cons

In all fairness to the company, it really is a nice box and amp, but imop they really cheaped out on the woofer itself. After about 4 years of very light use, it is now inoperative. Took several configurations to get to run.

Quality


Has a very high quality feel to it and fills a small space quite easily without overpowerring the rest of the speakers


The combination of small size and sound quality has made this subwoofer perfect for my use


The hsu is capable of hitting 16 hertz at minus 2 db depending on port and amp settings with it’s variable tuning you have 5 subs in one


Replaced a ported sub which was ok sort of but all these have wobbly not accurate not musical bass sound

Price


The price my seam a little high but worth every penny


Exactly what i wanted at a very attractive price


My previous 120 subwoofers cannot deliver the subbass and of course not the clarity of this one


I had purchased the svs sb2000 pro for 800 but was not satisfied with the price per performance that it had offered

Shipping


I will have to purchase it and try it in my home during the 45 day trial period but gotta pay return shipping

Packaging/appearance


I had the polk psw505 and while that packed a wallop before it died it wasnt suited to music as it just provided a big dumb sla...  Read More


Its in a sealed box with 300 watts of power to a 1234 subwoofer


I got the sealed box rather than ported as i was more concerned with tighter bass for music than anything although i like lfe in movies too


Bought through amazon warehouse outer box was slightly damaged insides were unopened and undamaged

Competitiveness


I did a lot of research and svs is consistently rated very highly especially in terms of value per dollar spent


The only way it could get any better is if they gave me some prime tower speakers to review and show up the competition


I wonder whether it is because this one was connected to probably a way more expensive marantz receiver while the klipsch was c...  Read More


On my suggested sample song “laputa” by hiatus kaiyote the sb1000 had more presence and hit the low bass notes better than the rel
