BYE BYE 16 ULTRAS! SVS SB17 Subwoofer Review + Demos

[@43bigsteve]

I've got a pair of the PB3000's. My home theater room is pretty small, so they've been enough for me. But I'm seriously considering selling them and getting the SB17's.

[@juless753]

You would get some serious extension with these in a smaller room, I say go for it!

Shane, This or the Rythmik F18? I don’t need built-in DSP or an app-just looking for two subs to replace my old Sunfires. My usage is a 50/50 split between music (2-channel, 5.1 music, and concerts) and movies. I’m guessing the sound profiles of the two are pretty similar? I do like all the new tech and specs of the SB17, but I’m more curious if it actually translates to better sound and performance, or if it’s just a marketing angle. Cheers!

[@unknownuser200985]

how do these compare to Rythmik F18s?

[@BloopsnBleeps]

I've got a pair of the F18s. I don't see how these could be better

[@randallross3036]

Shane, question in your subwoofer placement. wWhy do have one center front and one corner rear? Is this the best placement for your particular room or a recommended setup to try in any room? Thanks!

[@therealshanelee]

It's different for everyone.

[@failingup4907]

Shane... You're opinion... sb17 or Rythmik F18?

[@therealshanelee]

I reviewed the F18’s in a much smaller room. So it’d be really hard to say. The SVS is built better with more advanced tech behind it.

[@failingup4907]

@therealshanelee thank you for the reply Shane. Merry Christmas. I doubt you can go wrong with either. I have a PB 16 sitting in the garage un opened. I'm after watching your videos, I'm unsure if I should send it back and get an F18 or SB17. My room is 25ft long, 10ft wide and an 8ft ceiling.

[@rindershow212]

Why did you get the PB 16 if you are now thinking of the f18 or SB17. Why didn't you get the SB 16 to begin with?​@@failingup4907

[@TyGamer125]

@@failingup4907 I'd probably stick with a ported subwoofer, I don't remember the dimensions of Shane's room but 25 feet for your longest dimension is going to mean you'll get less room gain with a sealed subwoofer in order to bridge the gap over the ported one. Also what you define as a room isn't what bass will. If there isn't a door then it's part of the room in terms of pressurization. I'll link SVS's article in a second comment about room gain for you to read and hopefully it doesn't get flagged as spam.

[@failingup4907]

@TyGamer125 I'm going to. I'm returning my unopened PB16 for a new PB17.

[@Sloimer]

Shane - have they fixed the transient response muddiness from previous models? Meaning, the complete lack of chest punch?

[@failingup4907]

Are all these tests done at reference level? Shane you said the room sizes were different for the sb 17's compared to the F 18's , what are the room size differences?

[@TyGamer125]

While SVS isn't always the value king for subwoofers you can buy on the Internet they most certainly are for subwoofers you can buy from major retailers like best buy, Amazon or crutchfield. I think for me if i were upgrading I'd go for HSU's new flagship subwoofer as i really like the footprint it has despite being ported. Kinda a less extreme SVS PC series. I don't really have a good room for a sealed subwoofer but I'm sure that things slaps.

[@therealshanelee]

@toveryonder1115 50hz? Download the app and try it out. They have a demo mode. The app is free.

[@toveryonder1115]

@therealshanelee ah it shows 20-200hz for them. still kind of disappointing. i would like 16hz to be the lowest, ideally 12hz, 16-32hz is what subs are for 😁. yes i can hear 12hz not just feel it. I've spoken to the great Chris Brunhaver over at PS audio about subs and the lack of real subs out there.

[@righteousbuilds3576]

Sounds like I need to check out the new SVS 17 inch subs. As good as they're getting, I still like my 24's better. Just like you probably like your 21 better :). There's nothing like huge bottom end that they can provide. In fact I'll be building a 4,000 watt 24 inch home theater sub in my next video. It'll have good authority all the way down into the single digits.

@@rushgush That's good input. I'm not sure if you have a 24 inch subwoofer, but once you have owned one, you'll appreciate what they can do. There are a lot of drivers that can hit just as low with the same or more db. But with a big 24, bass is effortless. They stay relaxed while making the entire room breathe. It's a great feeling :)

He generally doesn’t own the products. It’s a review set provided by the company for a period of time

[@xTremeSequences]

I just left my review of these subs at SVS. I have two of the existing SVS Ultra PB16s and after adding two more SVS Ultra PB17s I can say it is a game changer. The biggest difference is the tightness and midtones I was missing from my PB16s. I can now stop saying I don't need subs for stereo music. Music has never sounded this good using the PB17 subs along with my two PB16 subs. I used REW to find the best locations for all four subs. Then Dirac Live with Bass Controll to make it perfect. The bass drum now sounds like a bass drum should. If I want only music without the subs my SVS Ultra Pinnacles get the job done. I really was convicted adding subs would improve them but I was wrong. I had the wrong subs. Oh, and for movies, WOW!!!!! Great review!

[@mikeberndt181]

Could you elaborate more? I have a the sb 16 ultra and 2 others and have 2 others and have used REW to make the best of my large room. For my placement and size my measurements are pretty good but I need the others to get there. My sb16ultra is at -23 and that’s with an emotiva amp at 275 ea/ for my fronts with prime pinnacles. My placement is so wrong that basically the mains and subs is technically in the middle of the of the room based on the way my room is made. I probably have the worst cast you can have. I’d love to know the difference between the 16 & 17. I know it won’t work miracles but wonder how as an owner you think the difference is

[@xTremeSequences]

@@mikeberndt181 It's a good question and one I would have struggled with had I not gotten them. My family room home theater is a challenge because it is open to the dinning room and kitchen in a recktangle shape. (18'x30') My speakers are about 3.5 feet from the front wall. I have eight 17'x17" bass soffits from Gik Acoustics as well las treatment on my ceiling and walls. I have my two new subs in the front corners next to the soffits and about 8" from the side walls facing each other. Would I love to have them facing me? Sure but they sound best where they are. I can still see them but not beside my mains or between them. This is good for my SVS Ultra Pinnacle to have breathing room since they each have four 8" subwoofers. My older SVS PB16s are placed where it sounded best. The left SVS PB16 is directly behind the left theater seat about four feat from my central listening position facing right. The other is to my right at the wall between a love seat and a single chair facing left, or toward the MLP. The PB16 behind me is -24. The PB15 on the right side is -22. Both from SVS PB17s are at 8. Togethe the measurements are awesome after what Dirac Live with Bass Control does. I have three profiles I listen to: 2-Channel where the mains and center are crossed over as low as they will go, 42hz for the mains and center for Auro-3D and movies if I want less bass, and finally mains and center crossed at 90hz to maximize the subs. If I continue to treat my room it will give me more flexibility but at some point you need to watch a move and stop chasing the elusive perfect sound.

I do the same now blasting movies and pounding the subwoofer deep bass in the Afternoon or before 3 pm. Few times I got scared/worried with the opening scene of 'Edge of Tomorrow' and 'Godzilla King of the Monsters' intro scene. Half of it is my Ear Drums worry and other half is the next door neighbor. And I just have the OSD Trevoce 12's so 'budget type sub'. But maximizing pressurization and bass putting in the Corner of walls.

[@gtoutdoors1197]

The Budget Subwoofer, OSD Trevoce 12s, not sounding good the first 2-3 months, but After the 'Break-In' period it goes into Beast Mode and sounds like $900 Sub not a $300 Sub.

[@gtoutdoors1197]

I know Shane must be thinking "How Ghetto" he has OSD Trevoce 12's subwoofer but I'm really happy with them and they Pressurize the whole big rectangular room. It's just my temporary budget system as the San Diego house will be Rented out soon. Our rental property, so using Soundbar plus $300 Sub plus $350 Onkyo THX Atmos receiver for now.
