[@aflores278832]

Subwoofer instead of Submarine. 😅 I'd pick woofer over the marine too. Good video. 👍🏼

[@Youthman]

Haha thanks

[@Youthman]

Hehe for sure

[@davemccague222]

Heh Youthman. I know this is off topic but would you consider doing a instructional video on using REW for calibrating subwoofers. For beginner users like myself.

[@Youthman]

Hi Dave, I have an entire playlist of videos dedicated to REW for that very reason kzbin.info/aero/PLlM19BsA_lkbbTW0pPM6Sl8o8qTpLHLcw

[@jasonwatson9127]

Thanks Michael! I have been very interested in learning the difference between these two subs and you even did two subs vs one. Excellent!

[@robertrobinson3579]

I’ve got to say I love your balanced approach. I’ve never seen you speak about a product in a bad light, you just correlate value and goals. I appreciate you!

[@Youthman]

Thank you Robert. I have no problem sharing the good and the bad But I try to do it in a very tasteful way

[@Youthman]

This was the most negative I have had to say about a product (there were lots) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4qqkHR9lr1mY5o

[@mudfan061]

I’m not sure if you were planning on doing this real-world comparison. You’re awesome. You told me (and I’m sure other people, as well) what we needed to hear. Thank you

[@Youthman]

Thanks Wes. I don’t think I initially planned on doing it but I had several people Request it so I figured why not give my viewers what they wanna hear

[@NoName-fu4vy]

Another awesome video Youthman, love your approach and passion for this stuff. Keep the videos coming, always looking forward to them!

[@Youthman]

Thanks!

[@bmwberto8055]

Another great video youthman. Real world info for the average to above average home theater junkie. I love that your not afraid to make mistakes, it would have been easy to edit out the subwoofer/ submarine part yet you chose to leave it in and show your human side, and even though we all knew what you meant we all felt your passion. You rock, subscriber for life!!

[@asukrumercan]

When I compared with my previous dual Jamo D7 THX ultra subwoofers, I felt the same. The Klipsch 115SWs were powerful but a bit boomy and had less control on deep bass. Thanks for the video.

[@Youthman]

Thanks

[@ruralrebel]

Love watching your reviews. Thanks for doing the real world comparison.

[@Youthman]

Thanks Robert

[@Charlesbjtown]

I salute you for listening to your listeners, by doing a real world comparison, instead of analyzing graphs.

[@Youthman]

Thanks. The truth is is I have viewers on both ends of the spectrum. Most of my original videos I did not use REW And I would receive comments from a few saying that my opinion is fine but they wanted to see the results on a graph. So now what I try to do this provide a little bit of both

[@mongef]

Awesome review, thanks Youthman!

[@Youthman]

Thanks

[@wrxdrifter19]

You da man, we asked and you delivered. Thanks for doing a real-world test. I was hoping the PB3000 was gonna be your pick cause that's the one I was rootin for :)

[@Youthman]

I thought the dual 15’s would sound better. I’ve been wrong before lol

[@jwrecka231]

I was going for the the pb3000 as well. Out numbered but not out gunned!

[@willworld3007]

You are hard at work this weekend Mike keep em coming 😀👍👍👍👍

[@Youthman]

Yes Will lots of new content lately. More coming this week

[@simplicity8480]

Thank you for the quick follow up! Dropped a like on the video. I like that you noted the frequency drop off but that your preference was for how much cleaner/tighter the SVS bass was. While I have not heard the SVS PB3000, I have heard the smaller PC2000 and I have always loved how SVS subwoofers perform with authority. My current setup has a single Klipsch R-115SW and I agree the lower frequencies can sometimes seem a little "messy" but ever since i heard them, i cant go back :) Id probably have to go with PB-16Ultra is i was ever going to replace it but i am happy with my all matching Klipsch for now.

[@Youthman]

Thank you

[@8skyline7]

Thank you very much for this real world comparison.

Great comparison & simple explanation for even a layman to understand. And u sound humble & natural unlike some who sound desperate in promoting brandS(vs)

Thank you kindly. I want my videos to be like a conversation you and I were to have if we were hanging out in my theater room. I’m not fancy, just a guy who is passionate about home theater and helping others along their audio journey.

Spitting that knowledge!!! That’s what I tell people when it comes to quality sound. I enjoy listening to sound and those specific details. Keep it up man!!!

[@Youthman]

Thanks Henry

Awesome review! Keep it up. Don’t forget I’m looking forward to your thoughts on up-firing atmos and ceiling atmos! Lol. You should also do a review on buttkickers. I hear those are a great investment to the hometheatre seats. Just a thought!

[@Youthman]

That is on my schedule as the next video. Should have it ready by Wednesday

[@morbus74]

Thanks again for the great video! I'm still waiting for that video where measure your PB16 ultras with REW..i would REALLY like to see how those "monsters" perform, located as they are now....gonna make that video soon?

[@Youthman]

Awesome! Glad you enjoy the content

[@rmasushige]

Another great video! Judging by your grin, SvS is impressive! SvS is a consideration when and if my pair of r115's ever die on me. Thanks for taking the time and doing this for us viewers 🙌🙌

[@Youthman]

Thanks

[@rmasushige]

@@Youthman well, one of my R115's is giving me problems turning on, and staying. Thinking of PB-4000.

[@Youthman]

Ugh. Sorry to hear that. I believe the PB4000 has some issues with amp failures.

[@rmasushige]

@@Youthman oh no lol! My absolute budget will be $1600- $2k, max. What would you suggest? My front stage is RF7III, RC64III and Cornwall IV. I'm sure you've seen it on the Klipsch owners forum..

[@Youthman]

This was a few years ago when they first came out so hopefully they have corrected the issue. But even if you do have issues with the amp, their customer service is incredible. They will take care of you

[@Amfibios]

thanks for your insight mate

[@MrGuss1963]

That Aquaman was phenomenal with those rsw-15 youth man

[@Youthman]

You have RSW-15’s? I used to have (4) of them.

[@FinnishArmy]

Nice video as always! Now run them all at once xD

[@Bryan-hd7nm]

Awesome! Great comparison! Do you normally boost up the sub after calibration to 78 or 80db?

[@Youthman]

I typically add 3-5dB to the subs after Audyssey calibration

[@Snskch3]

Excellent video. Thank you for your opinion on 1 3000 vs 2 klipsh. I was wondering the same thing. But what about quality of sub for music?

[@joseluisruiz3789]

1 thumbs down? But...... why? This was very informative. 🧐🤔

[@Youthman]

Never can please everyone

[@yamafanboy]

The thumbsdown were from viewers who were upset that the item chosen for the giveaway was not the PB-3000

[@chaycepup]

Now I want to see a movie scene with a big subwoofer busting up through the water

[@Youthman]

Haha

[@onebadbearonebadbear3496]

Thanks for all you do. I just purchased a set of pb 3000. My first svs anything. I'm also running 2 klipsch 625 towers in front the klipsch center as well as the 5.25 complete dolby atmos set from Costco. I will be adding a few quintet speakers for the roof. Room is approximately 22' wide 13' deep as in away from TV. Roof is angled, 14' one side like 10 on the other. No rear wall behind viewing room as it sets 30" lower than main dinning room and kitchen. Think 1970s grottos. Your thoughts.? My subs haven't arrived yet. However I believe this should be amazing.

[@OriginalOldSkoolFunk]

Youthman...this review is absolutely awesome. Great real world info and your enthusiasm and passion for the hobby always shines through. I value your opinion on HT equipment and I was subjectively sorta hoping the dual Klipsch would perform as well as the single PB3000 because that would make it financially easier to swing the Klipsh's and also keep the wife calmer. "The Klipsh's are cuter, and smaller too..." she says...🙄 On the other hand, 2 PB3000's should be the end all "last subwoofer purchase" I SHOULD need...on paper. Of course, the quandry in this hobby is the constact journey for bigger, better, louder etc. Home Theateritis is a terrible desease...but I'll be alright, as long as I designate it as my doghouse...! 🤔

[@Youthman]

You are correct. As with any hobby, if you are serious about it, it does get expensive. But the best thing to do is build it over time, and even look for great deals on used equipment. I did that for the past 12 years of my audio journey

[@OriginalOldSkoolFunk]

@@Youthman Great advice. Definitely must crawl before walking. The problem is that at my age now, I just want to hit the ground running...! The reality is, I have a crawling budget, and I know you that I can build a respectable room on that budget...but I sure hate to wait... 😫

incredibly detailed review more of these plz numbers only go so far any cracks in the walls after listening to the cave in scene from 1917 while listening to your duel pb16s?

[@mwrightinsurance]

I think the roll off and the cleanliness both have a little to do with driver size. I have a Rythmik fv15hp and lovin’ it. I would like to see you review, and/or hear your thoughts on Rythmik.

[@santiagoezquerrocordon1470]

Not really. The pb16 is cleaner than the klipsch, and it's also cleaner. He also tested dual pb3000 VS dual monolith thx 15. And monolith were as tight or even slightly more tight as the pb3000, having bigger driver. Tightness is a cuestión of driver quality (not size) and amp power and quality.

[@ourlittlecakery9177]

Just lost my RSW-15 after 20 years. Sad day. Will look into getting it repaired, but probably time to check out new ones. Also have an RT-12D, but have gotten used to two subs. Thanks for the comparison and your thoughts.

[@Youthman]

I’ve owned both. The RSW-15’s are the best subs Klipsch has made. I’m waiting on them to release The Beast. Unfortunately amp failures are expected on 20 year old subs. I had one of my 4 die.

[@denalikid72]

Any chance you will be reviewing the Jtr 4000ulf’s? Your review will be epic. Looking to choose between the Jtr 4000 ulf and the PSA s3611! Thanks for the great content.

Thanks. After Jeff finishes with Axpona, he said we could talk about the possibility of me reviewing some of his gear.

[@atorres061509]

The Klipsch 115 competes more with the PB2000. Would be nice to see those two head to head

[@Youthman]

Possibly so but unfortunately I will probably not be getting in the PB 2000

[@tkcdac]

Or dual of both? They do seem to line up better with each other.

[@Youthman]

The RSW-15 would spank several SVS subs. Just depends on which model.

[@TheRafcave]

@@Youthman 😃👍🏽

[@WeLuv9x5]

You said “pushed the subwoofer” instead of “submarine.” I finally pulled the trigger and purchased a pair of SVS PC-4000 subs (they ship next week). My Velodynes (FSR-15) have been amazing in their 23 yrs with me, but it was time to get some new subs to compliment my new LS 800s.

[@kingcrimson234]

Good video. I ordered a PB-3000 a few days ago. It's going in a 1440 cu ft closed room. My neighbors are gonna hate me.

[@MichaelGreco]

Great video! You answered one of my questions. I've been toiling over 2 sb3000's or one sb16 ultra with the goal of going dual down the line.

[@wrxdrifter19]

Do you think you'll ever be able to do a comparison between the PB3000 and the PB4000? REW and Real World Comparison would be pretty cool to see between both of those subs.

[@Boilermaker86765]

I like my one SVS pc12 plus subwoofer, it shakes my entire room and it’s not s small living room. Maybe one day I’ll get two to even things out, for for now, it’s awesome. Glad I went with it over the Klipsch 15” sub

I use Two klipsch R-110 SW for HT setup and for music listening , they are tight and clean. In my opinion the klipsch are great value for the money, SVS subs have unnatural bass character to it..... I found that the klipsch R-110sw is better than it’s bigger siblings...... Watching your channel from Canada 👍👍👍👍

[@timsoeto6152]

Hi there, why do you think it's better? Cause on crutchfield the r110sw costs more than the r112sw . I think that's really odd

[@Brian-dg4xp]

Do you phase align your subs with your fronts? If so, what process do you use?

[@MrJgibo1]

Hate to be nitpicky but you used REW to find best spot for sub. What is the frequency response like on your personal subs behind the screen? Don't recall if you have posted that in the past. Thanks and keep up the good vids.

[@Youthman]

Not nit picky at all. I too am curious what they look like behind the screen. I don’t think I was learning to use REW when I added them. I did what most people do and that is add them where is best aesthetically. But I may find they don’t measure that well. The good thing is they still sound fantastic back there but I am curious. If there are issues, it will give me an opportunity to play with phase, time alignment, PEQ within the PB16’s and the miniDSP 2x4HD that I have in for review.

[@mychannel2877]

I know it's been 5 years since you posted this video, but from what you remember Brother, would you recommend one SVS PB-2000 Pro subwoofer over one or two of these Klipsch R-115SW subs? Clearly, you liked the PB-3000 more than these Klipsches, but what about the PB-2000 vs these Klipsches? Thoughts? Seems everyone loves SVS and the prices have gone up since you posted this video it seems. God bless and thanks for your time.

I am having a similar internal debate. Do I get 2 SVS PC 2000s(i like the form factor of the cylinder and more appropriate setting for my living room), or do I get one SVS PC 4000, and wait until funds( ie. tax return:-) ) will allow for a second sub.

[@ericmercer9691]

You mentioned that you set the sub level to 80 dB. What is the level of the remaining speakers in the system at the same receiver volume level?

[@hs7382]

**I am considering HSU subwoofer- vtf 3 MK5, Please give your thoughts about HSU subwoofers.** Your videos always gives encouragement to upgrade my speakers.

[@timothymathetes]

You are a very unique man. God bless ya

[@Youthman]

Thanks Timothy

[@Youthman]

Just curious why you feel I’m a very unique man?

[@timothymathetes]

@@Youthman hard to describe, but I think it's a genuinenes that you have. You seem like you would be exactly the same doing a KZbin video, or taking out the trash. That's very unique.

[@Youthman]

Thank you Timothy I appreciate the kind words. I just try to be as down to earth as I can. When I make videos for you guys, I just feel like we’re hanging out together having a conversation

[@mdkrush]

Picked up PB-4000 Piano Gloss Black on sale from Amazon NEW $1499.00! Woot! After I got it, went back to the page and it was back to $1999! Yeah!

[@Youthman]

Entertain us Patrick. What sub are you running?

[@chrisfritsch9072]

Any chance in the future you build your own subwoofer? Like the Dayton ultimax 18. And compare to your SVS PB 16 ultra?

[@Youthman]

Hi Chris. Probably not. I’m not much of a “handy man”. I could build a kit but I wouldn’t have the tools or knowledge to finish them to make them look really nice.

[@godfather1116]

2 Free Klipsch R-115SW's - Can't beat it :) I may need one or two more thoough for the back.

[@Youthman]

You got an awesome deal getting them free

[@lesterd6480]

Good video I have a question similar to the vid. I have a single sb4000 I like it but want more. If you’ve heard them would you go with a pb4000, move the sb4000 to another room, add a 16 ultra to to the sb4000 to go dual or add another sb4000? Asking because want to make one purchase. Instead of adding more getting more but still looking for more.

[@Youthman]

I Lester. I was in a similar situation when I reviewed the Dual PB16. They sounded great but I was looking for more output. Once I heard the Dual PB16, they provided significantly more output.

[@Youthman]

I definitely would not recommend mixing sealed and ported subwoofers in the same room. You will get a lot of cancellations

[@lesterd6480]

Youthman Do you think I can get more output from a single pb4000 or dual SB4000. I meant an sb16ultra with the sb4000 to stay dual no mixing port & sealed. looking for most output. That last combo had 2 different size subs sooo🤔.??

[@user-pd9cb4et2s]

Not subwoofer a submarine

[@SVSpc13]

Aquaman sould arrive to me the next week :D Hope it is as good as the other latest DC movies :D

[@Youthman]

Not sure how good the movie is as I haven’t watched it yet but there are some sick bass scenes to test your subs capacity with

[@stasiekspasiek7250]

What do you think YM, i have now one pb13 and one pb4000 from svs and my room is 20 square meters, im thinking about 4 of 115sw. What willbe beter?

[@NakeanWickliff]

Great review. It's sooo interesting. I hear this time and time again, but normally it's people comparing sealed vs ported. Whichever sub extends the least ALWAYS is reported to sounding more tactile and cleaner, and faster. EVERYTIME! I'm convinced it's really just a product of frequency response. The lower the bass the less tactile, and the slower (litterally a function of the soundwave) ot sounds and feels.

[@beersandburgers7392]

I currently have the Klipsch RSW 115. I’m looking to upgrade to SVS. Should I buy 2 PB 3000’s or one PB 16 ultra? My room is 20 by 30. I hear everyone stress the importance of duals. I would likely not be able to buy another Ultra for some time. At least a year.

[@theitalian556]

Which could you feel more? Also deeper bass?

[@annyekdna1552]

Hey you have to try with the Earthquake supernova MKVII-15P

[@richmax13]

@youthman you need to redo these tests with the current version of klipsch spl 150 vs 115sw , and the svs pb3000 . Pls and thanks

[@Youthman]

The R-115SW is no longer in production. I have already reviewed the PB3000. Currently do not have plans to review the SPL-150. I would think it will perform very similarly to the 115 SW

[@yehboy0168]

Hey youthman, will it be a problem if i use both r115 and pb3000? I currently have the r115. Want to upgrade to a pb3000. I’m planning on using them both.

[@davidcochran2255]

hi mate good video just wanted to know can u put up the list of the movies pls thanks

[@Youthman]

Sorry but I do not have a list of movies

[@liemnguyen2726]

Hi Youthman. Thank you for you review. About your offer, can I have 1 of the Disc you have. Thank

[@Youthman]

Hi Liem, the link to the giveaway is in the description of this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3zdhn6upamKq7s I will randomly draw two names.

[@chrisvanover7817]

I'd like to see a video along the lines of the last few with 2 PB3000 vs one PB16 Ultra! Not sure if you have 2 of them. Thanks for the great videos! Keep it up!

[@Youthman]

Thanks Chris. I have one PB3000 in for review and own Dual PB16’s

[@Zubayer_Islam_Rezoan]

Hi, I have a budget 5.1 sorround sound system. The subwoofer doesnt have dedicated power line, it uses amplifier connection both for power & sound input. How can I add another subwoofer to this system?

[@luckyvaliin]

Can you review BIC PL200 in comparison to other equivalent subs in the market pls.

[@davidsunilkumar8460]

I am from India and I am fan of your videos

[@Youthman]

Thank you David

[@charliebravo8036]

Check out U751, the depth charger scene... The LFE is alright, alright, alright!

[@cdavidhord]

I'd love for you to get a SB3000 and repeat your comparisons to the dual Klipsch. Also, to the mic response curve and compare to the PB3000.

[@Youthman]

The last time I compared ported to sealed, several said it wasn’t a fair comparison. Can’t please everyone lol

[@cdavidhord]

@@YouthmanI'll look for your video! Thanks

[@Youthman]

Thanks

[@IanVickrey]

I'd love to see a comparison between the PB-3000 and the PB-16!!!

[@Youthman]

It may happen but honestly they don’t compare.

[@IanVickrey]

@@Youthman Yeah, but still.... If you have them, might as well compare. That would show how small or large the difference is for the price. Price to Performance is what everyone is looking for. My SVS PC-13 Ultra just died after 9 years so I'll be in the market soon!

[@Youthman]

The hardest part is my PB16 are located behind my screen. At 175lbs, they aren’t easy to remove from behind the screen so I can compare subs in the same exact location.

[@bluethundar]

My living room where my home theater is measures 20x18. I have a pair of Klipsch r-820f, Klipsch rp-450c, Klipsch r-41m, and Klipsch r-41sa. My subwoofer is a Polk Audio PSW505. I need to upgrade my sub and have been doing some research and ran into your video. Just what I was looking...so my question is, do I go with dual SVS pb-2000 or single SVS pb-3000. Right now dual pb-2000 go for $1200 while the pb-3000 is still at $1400. Thank you in advance.

[@gibluap]

Well done! Excellent review! I strongly encourage anyone and everyone to buy dual pb3000's or any of SVS subwoofers but at least go duals. They also offer, through the company Bread Finance, really great options for financing their equipment. For very reasonable prices so if you don't have the money up front consider a reasonable payment plan.

[@bobpena1490]

What do you think about m&k subwoofer with there push pull set up ?love to see a review on it ..

[@Youthman]

I have not heard M&K yet

[@bobpena1490]

I think another good movie that has good lfe is underworld awakening ..

[@valde223]

for me klipsch r-112sw with this settings volume half way and set nearly at 60hz and speakers at 60hz the bass sound pretty clean to me

[@Youthman]

Cool deal

[@ZenFuKid]

Did you try reversing the polarity on one of the subs to see if the they complimented each other or not?

[@Youthman]

No, You typically keep them in phase when they are on the same wall

[@sukhsrboss5693]

Question. How does 1 x Klipsch R-115sw compare to 1 x PB2000 Pro and to dual PB1000??

[@brandoncarlson03]

not enough videos here on KZbin dive into the buyer's remorse or the "what if" factor. I started with a single SVS PB-1000. I was absolutely blown away by the output of that sub when I first heard it. So entirely blown away, that suddenly my budget nearly tripled and I bought dual SVS PB-2000's. Then I heard about JTR Subwoofers. Went from Dual SVS PB-2000's to Dual JTR Captivator 2400ULF's. Any normal human being should be completely satisfied with the 2400's in a room that measures 12x19x8. If I could go back to the beginning and help myself make a proper decision, I would absolutely choose the biggest single subwoofer/enclosure I could afford rather than smaller dual subwoofers even from the same brand. Get your Endgame subwoofer first, work on multiplying it later. You'll save so much money in the long run (several years after you read this)

[@Youthman]

Thanks for sharing Brandon. Unfortunately most of us have to learn that lesson the hard way. I know I did

[@sansundon]

Thanks for your in input, just wondering the performance of dual pb3000 vs single pb 4000.

[@Youthman]

Although I have not heard the PB4000, Dual PB3000 should be the best tee solution in output, plus you have the added benefit of smoother bass response throughout your room.

[@Youthman]

Take a look at my most recent videos on the PB3000 and Monolith. Here is a video I made on why you need dual subs - kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4nJeWyNfZ2MrZo

[@blacktwang101]

do a monolith 15" vs klipsch r-115sw pls!!

[@santiagoezquerrocordon1470]

Well, he did dual monolith 15 vs pb3000, and he said monolith are superior to pb3000, so if pb3000 is better than klipsch, that means that monolith 15 are far better than r115sw

[@Youthman]

Solid deductive reasoning
