🔈NEW! SVS 17-Ultra R|Evolution Series Subwoofers Overview

[@randycribb5227]

Awesome new subs! SVS just keeps raising the bar.

[@AudioAdvice]

They sure do! Thanks for watching!

[@JesseHayes-g6f]

Can't wait to hear these in your showroom!

[@AudioAdvice]

Enjoy!

[@RobertRuderman]

Great review. I appreciated the detailed outline on each model.

[@AudioAdvice]

Thanks, glad you liked it!

[@martybrazill7935]

They look very impressive! Thanks for the video.

[@AudioAdvice]

We're glad you enjoyed it!

[@stevelucey7719]

These both look very impressive!

[@AudioAdvice]

Thanks for watching!

[@sethfm9773]

Great features on these subs. I’m excited to hear them!

[@AudioAdvice]

Thanks for watching!

[@PumpUptheJam81]

Love the “reimagined” marketing fluff.

[@AudioAdvice]

Thanks for watching

[@chrisgargiulo304]

SVS has always made the best subwoofers.

[@AudioAdvice]

For sure!

[@bobtowncarguy82]

Boy that SB17 does look nice though. I have two SB2000s and would love an upgrade to dual SB17s .

[@AudioAdvice]

It rocks!!!

[@Lakshyakapila]

As always outstanding review ❤

[@AudioAdvice]

Thanks!!

[@coreymoyers5771]

I'm glad I have the previous version with the metal grill. There is a reason why you can't find an image online of these subs with the grill attached.

[@AudioAdvice]

Yes, they only come with a cloth grill.

[@SGTOldSchool96]

I had an SB 4000 with a metal grill that resonated. No thanks

[@Porchewaitombi]

Wait for Monalith by Monoprice❤💪💣💣

[@coreymoyers5771]

@@SGTOldSchool96 You should get that fixed. My SB 16 Ultra has a solid, quiet metal grill. Moreover, it looks a ton better than a cheap plastic grill.

[@Cgjubhfhnybjkn]

Clearly a cost savings move by SVS, the metal ones looked nicer and I had no resonance issues with my four PB-16 subs. Switched to SB-17 using their upgrade program and the cloth ones look more conventional, but lack the durability and child proof feature of the metal.

[@Novilicious]

Would the sealed SB17 be the best in their lineup for music? Looking to upgrade!

[@AudioAdvice]

Yep!

Thanks for watching!

[@michaelglenn2399]

Great video! Has SVS indicated any timeframe on app updates?

[@AudioAdvice]

Hopefully December 🤞

[@67spankadelik]

I have one pair for SB 4000 in a apartment. I can't imagine.

[@AudioAdvice]

Yes, these are HUGE and very poweful.

[@ILoveNancyLeeTaylorAllison]

How are you able to use such powerful subs in an apt without getting kicked out ?

[@Smellslikegelfling]

I wish they would allow a regular calibrated microphone. I can't see a smart phone mic being very accurate at low frequencies.

[@AudioAdvice]

Good point, we will pass that on.

[@bobtowncarguy82]

Ill take the older SVS PB16 and SB16.

[@AudioAdvice]

Still great options!

[@aruth51485]

Can you still get a big punch with the sealed model ? Would like to use one for home theater and for music.

[@AudioAdvice]

The sealed one will be your best choice. Thanks for watching

[@TheAceTroubleshooter]

I think a little credit to peerless for coming up with the driver design is due. They came out with the stw 350 the first one to see that monstrous 8 inch voice coil. and laid the groundwork for the 16 Ultra.

[@AudioAdvice]

Yes, Peerless makes a lot of good drivers, many for other companies. Thanks for sharing

[@davidt8438]

Wonder why SVS didn’t just go straight to an 18” driver?

[@AudioAdvice]

Maybe next time? Good question!

[@coreymoyers5771]

18" would not fit in the same box.

[@failingup4907]

I'm getting a PB 17 delivered in 2 days. 😮

[@AudioAdvice]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@ShampooTime]

did you test edge of tomorrow intro scene by any chance? my pb16 gets chuffing at slightly higher levels :(

[@Lakshyakapila]

What i cannot believe such an expensive sub having such issues 😢

[@AudioAdvice]

We didn't get the chance to but we will try it out. Thanks for the recommendation

[@Lakshyakapila]

@@AudioAdvice yes try it because it caused port noise in pb 16 ultra and thats not acceptable at all for such an expensive sub 😅😅

[@jkairi4]

​@Lakshyakapila Here's the solution, stop driving your subs like that, it's unnecessary to do to get quality performance.

[@rickmorty5215]

What is the sub's max power?

[@mikepringle3275]

Where are the numbers on this sub? (Distortion , DB,s , transient response?) Why has SVS not released this imformation or anybody else?

[@AudioAdvice]

It is interesting SVS does not have a response graph like they normally do. Hopefully we will see some soon. Thanks for watching

[@tyrell3000]

I have the sb17 in a smallish 14x15x8 room. It hits 10hz @ 103db. I know it’s room dependent but this sub hit harder and lower than the sb16 I had.

[@Cgjubhfhnybjkn]

One glaring issue with these subs is the rear panel buttons next to the display (up, down, mode). They’re backlit and can’t be turned off, thus emitting a very slight glow that’s slightly noticeable when your tv/projector screen goes full black. A little gaffer’s tape can fix that.

[@AudioAdvice]

Good catch. We thought they dimmed after a while, but we could be wrong. Either way, a bit of tape would fix it like you said.

[@Cgjubhfhnybjkn]

Unfortunately, they don’t dim and this is an oversight by their development team. Maybe a future firmware update would take care of this, but who knows.

[@zenlunatic25]

Jesus Christ, talk about being annoying and anal. “There’s a very slight hint of a blue glow from the back of the subwoofer! 😭 😫 😩 waaaaa waaaa waaaa!” 🤦‍♂️

[@Sloimer]

Can someone please just tell us if the transients and group delay have been improved lol

[@ACM1000000PT]

What’s about group delay? Thats always very high if we compare the 16” series vs others

[@edwarddiogu6377]

The smaller one is more appealing to me

[@AudioAdvice]

Fair enough!

[@spalace7919]

Is it possible to connect an SVS Sub to the Sonos Arc Ultra using the Sonos Amp?

[@AudioAdvice]

You can use the amp for rear channels and the sub could augment those but not the ARC.

[@spalace7919]

@AudioAdvice What parts do I need to have a SVS Sub augment both the Soundbar Ultra and rear speakers? Sorry if it's a wierd question, I'm a boot camp to all this stuff.

[@lights80088]

We need to know more as to how they sound. The fluff isn't going to convince me. Convince me why I should upgrade.

[@WeBuild4Life]

so for the $... One of the ported ones or two PB-3000s?

[@jake-jp3vb]

Dual 3000.

[@AudioAdvice]

Probably two subs to evenly distribute the bass better in your room.

[@mk1mcqueen277]

How much power they can handle?

[@Gimmesoup88]

I believe it’s 4 mono blocks combined into 2 amps with a total of 2500 rms.

[@EriickkaLøveStar]

Wow!!

[@AudioAdvice]

Thanks for watching!

[@kamenmichev5227]

is this review or advertisement??

[@bingdong8571]

i have dirty socks and a mini dsp that can match the "versatility"

[@failingup4907]

You'll need a crane to get them in your house.

[@AudioAdvice]

Haha!

[@yournightmare9999]

New port chuffing subwoofer.

[@vanjabi8827]

Or you could buy 4 RSL 10s MKII’s for less money and blow either of these out of the water….

[@AudioAdvice]

4 subs are nice to have but the RSL 10 does not reach down anywhere near how deep these go. Thanks for watching
