SVS has provided great bang for the buck for me. I have an sb1000, an sb2000, and 3 sb3000s throughout my home. They flat out perform without drawing attention.

[@troystevens9506]

Excellent vid, as always. Can't wait to hear your review on the Rythmik 18. Been waiting for you to get your hands on one of their big boy subs and hearing more of your tactful profanity. Currently rocking 2 FV18's in a 7.2.4 HT.

[@NemoPropaganda]

I'm gonna try and film that soon, it's just challenging because of the size :)

[@troystevens9506]

@NemoPropaganda no doubt. I would've had an easier time dragging two dead hookers out of my house than I did, getting the Fv18's down into my basement.

[@nonametofame]

I always love these discussions.

[@RolexDSSD]

RSL 12s with 10% military 🫡 off can’t be beat!!! 12s is an animal of a sub!!!!

[@IrenESorius]

Thanks Nemo. You,re a true star 🙏🌟💖 Have an excellent weekend 🍻😎🤘‍

[@NemoPropaganda]

thanks Irene, you too!!

[@scottparsons7825]

Several HSU subwoofers would be good additions to this list. They always review well and are highly regarded.

[@NemoPropaganda]

nobody in my discord that's owned them has really loved them aside from the value proposition.

[@edwarddiogu6377]

Always fun to listen to you. I thought you wrote something about SVS 17s... I'll be looking forward to all the reviews; especially the F18. You're the best.

[@NemoPropaganda]

sorry bro, no no, it would be way to early for something like that, I don't think anyone has a review sample yet.

[@danemoreno88]

I was only able to watch in 1080p might want to check the new phones setting to make sure you are getting full definition uploaded love the list I’m partial to rsl and Rythmik they both were amazing subs at under 1000

[@NemoPropaganda]

Hi bro, that is intentional, I film at 1080/60, I don't think too many people are watching YT north of that resolution since it requires 50mbps or higher to watch higher resolution than 1080. I will experiment with higher resolution when I have some time but in the past when I tested 4k it was not much of a difference filming from an iphone and just took up more space on my phone.

[@stuartboros7693]

I’m still extremely happy with my Arendal 1961s (which I got in part based on your review), which may now be discontinued. In terms of size, aesthetics, transient response, integration with my Maggies and still having enough oomph for home theater in my bedroom, I can’t complain.

[@NemoPropaganda]

oh yeah, those 1961 1s subs were built like a tank too! At the original price they sold it was some of the best build quality available!!

[@JR-ho5qm]

Great run down! I see Polk came out with a new SE sub line to match there Signature series of speakers. I’m a bit surprised because they already had the HTS line that had the same cosmetic looks of the Signature series. They must plan on keeping this series going for a long time even though it’s been out for a long time already. I hope Masimo is not giving up on new designs moving forward

[@NemoPropaganda]

depends on the room. For some people corner loading is perfect. My room corner loading is awful, but that's not an absolute truth for everyone.

[@kwill691]

I'm surprised Polk didn't make new subs for their Reserve line.

[@JR-ho5qm]

@@kwill691 I totally agree. Even if they shared some of the parts from like to line with different looks to match the different speaker lines. Just shows it must be expensive to do.

[@dingomanz7]

I got a Rythmik LV12M recently and it’s pretty good. I’ve auditioned some SVS ported and sealed but it wasn’t smooth enough.

[@NemoPropaganda]

oh yeah, SVS bass is more aggressive, Rythmik is more flowy & smooth, both great, just different.

[@samidebs3559]

I like that Cabasse Murano speakers!

[@NemoPropaganda]

it's incredible and the current price makes it the best hifi deal of 2024 in my opinion.

[@kwill691]

Just got a pair of SB-2000 Pros. My Monolith THX-10 v2 subwoofer just stopped working. It was a damn good ported box, too. Hope I have better luck with SVS.

[@NemoPropaganda]

nice dude! enjoy the dual subs!!!

[@KeithSkronek]

Nice review. Video is definitely sharper with the new phone.

[@NemoPropaganda]

awesome!!

[@seanb3303]

I think it’s hard for Rhythmic to get reviews because i don’t think they have an affiliate link program

[@NemoPropaganda]

possibly, I'm not sure since I don't use affiliate programs myself I don't know who offers them and who doesn't.

[@WWeiss-nv5vz]

SVS 3000 Micro should be mentioned for those who need smallest form factor/weight.

[@seanb3303]

I heard SVS is going to drop auto room EQ soon

[@NemoPropaganda]

for the new Ultra series yeah, I'm sure it'll trickle down to everything over the next few years the same way the cell phone app did.

[@seanb3303]

@@NemoPropaganda cool it would be nice to get that feature without having to order a 150 pound sub 😉

[@svensvensson627]

very good vid. man i really thinking about rythmik. a bit pricy to buy and ship to sweden...

[@theparkbopper]

Would love to see a Rythmik FM8 review

[@NemoPropaganda]

FM8 is very niche, you can imagine it would be similar to F12 so it's really for those that need a narrow shape. I did talk to Rythmik about it once and they said most customers preferred the F12 and since they are very similar in price F12 gives a little more output at the lowest frequencies.

[@ben23a31]

And then another one ! Great review. Looking forward to the Rythmik and speaker reviews. I'm on the other side of 50% movies to music so your speaker and sub reviews are more up my alley though I watch all of your videos to support the channel ✌🏼✊🏼

[@NemoPropaganda]

hey what's up Ben!! I aprpeciate you!

[@Birmingham_racing]

I owned a mk1 1205 I loved it

[@NemoPropaganda]

I still own my MK1 1205, i sit on it in every video lol, I'm sitting on it in this video :D

[@michaelr1624]

YES!!! A sub video!!!

[@lsaideOK]

Excellent breakdown! Do you know which of these are manufactured in the country within which they are designed? Which of these might be the easiest to set and forget? In terms of easily adapted to one's power and speakers. And placed wherever in the room. If there is any major difference in that regard. The price range here is perfect for me as I really would not want to spend over 1K for a subwoofer. I've lived without for so long!

[@NemoPropaganda]

it is unreasonable to expect inexpensive products to also be made in their home country. Most subwoofers should be set it & forget it once they're setup properly but very few subwoofers can be placed anywhere in the room, most require good placement to sound their best. If you want a sub you can put anywhere without worry you'll want something with auto room correction like the Buchardt Sub 10.

[@lsaideOK]

@@NemoPropaganda so you are saying that all of these are manufactured in China? I know that's true of SVS. Thanks for the tip about the Buchardt. I'm not sure I would just consider products getting close to a thousand dollars to be inexpensive

[@connorduke4619]

Excellent overview, I did not realise there was even such a thing as vented subs before. I wonder if you have tested whether certain subs pair well with certain loudspeakers, e.g. speakers and subs from the same brand using the same cone material, does that make a difference in terms of sound integration?

[@NemoPropaganda]

personally I don't care about cone material or any other details like that, I mostly focus on what the product sounds like in a real world environment, the driver could be made out of plastic for all I care. As far as speaker matching, personal taste is too much of a factor to say definitively that X speaker pairs best with Y subwoofer but i have certainly have found many winning combinations.

[@connorduke4619]

@@NemoPropaganda Thanks for your explanation.

[@matt34003434]

The PSA S1513m at $1100 is not just awesome for the money. it's just awesome, period. I perfer it over the HSU ULS-15, Rel HT1205 mkii and svs sb-3000.

[@NemoPropaganda]

The cheapest I found on their site was the S1512M at $1149, looks like a high value item but PSA does not send review samples :(

[@E.T.Persson]

Great info 🥂

[@D1N02]

too bad rsl, rythmic don't seem to be available in Europe. Rel is the go to brand here.

[@CarlVanDoren61]

Rel is good 👍

[@NemoPropaganda]

I think RSL will ship there if you email them but it does add to the price.

[@michaelsegel8758]

Of all the reviewers I've seen... you are Mr. Sub. If/when I go to buy a sub... I'm going to be searching your channel for a review.

[@NemoPropaganda]

nothing would make me happier than people referring to me as the sub guy, like even if they don't know my name if they're like "oh the subwoofer guy with the beard" that would be seriously fantastic :D

[@michaelsegel8758]

@@NemoPropaganda LOL... I think I saw you at AXPONA this year in the NAIM/Focal room. But I could be wrong. If I see you next year at AXPONA, I'll be sure to call you the sub dude!

[@usmankhalid990]

Hey Nemo, any reason the Klipsch RP series did not make the cut? Would love your thoughts!

[@NemoPropaganda]

The RP1200SW is a great LFE sub, it can rumble like hell but it does not have the definition of the other subs on this list.

[@CarlVanDoren61]

EE audiophile has 21" French sub Size of a washing machine 😮

[@xavdeman]

I'm curious about the new MartinLogan subs as well as subs by brands like Mission and Wharfedale.

[@NemoPropaganda]

I don't think Mission has any subwoofers currently, ML doesn't have anything new on their website, and Wharfedale subs seem expensive for what you get, their 300w 12" is $999, do we think it's at minimum as good as the $899 REL 1205 MK2 or $899 SB2000 pro? It cost a $100 more so it's gotta at least be as good as one of those. Wharfedale subs look like an afterthought but I'll review it if they're confident it can compete in the marketplace.

[@xavdeman]

@@NemoPropaganda Mission has the ZX and QX series subs and Wharfedale has a big 15 inch sub (SW-15). Not sure if they sell in the US. Most interesting to me is the MartinLogan BalancedForce 212. Dual 12" woofers.

[@NemoPropaganda]

@@xavdeman oh, no, none of that is available in the US. As far as the balance force I know a few people who've heard them, they perform VERY confidently, the build quality is extremely robust, the price is high though.

[@ericshutter5305]

is that left sub a REL Carbon ?? 😍

[@NemoPropaganda]

yup, got two of them :D

[@tamer510]

Hey Nemo, I have the old version of svs sb1000 for music/ HT use. then moved to a larger room (20x14) and would like to pair it with the new sb1000 would that go good? How about going for the sb2000?

[@NemoPropaganda]

you can mix with either, SB1000 pro would make the most sense if though.
