SVS PB3000 vs Dual Klipsch R-115SW Real World Comparison

[@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

[@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

[@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!

[@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

[@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

[@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

[@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.

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!!

[@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.

[@pkhammu2005]

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

[@Youthman]

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.

[@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

[@chaycepup]

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

[@Youthman]

Haha

[@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

[@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

[@chinacrash22]

I just noticed you were saying aquaman pushed the subwoofer instead of submarine 😁i just smiled because I understand you were in the zone about the subs. It’s all good 😊🙏 Awesome review again. Thank you youthman

[@Youthman]

Yeah, instead of reshooting, I thought it was funny, so I just left it in there

[@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.

[@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...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

[@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.

[@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.

[@loganf6517]

Again... You are talking comparing subs that are twice the price of each other. That holds no value. Youthman is 100% right.

[@Youthman]

Well said Logan

[@mawe6628]

I doubt it is a good and fair comparison. When one talks about “clean” subwoofer sound, one should cut off all frequencies below 20Hz. Vibrations below 20 Hz will effect the “clean” tones. I have set a low frequency cut off on my Anthem ARC and the R115 became much cleaner and more punchy. I think in your room with 2 Klipsch subs the effect will even be more pronounced. From your frequency curves from last vid, one could easily predict, that the SVS PB will sound cleaner as it rolls off at 20Hz

[@Youthman]

The reality is most will not be editing the rolloff of their subs but I agree, it would likely clean up those low frequencies

[@santiagoezquerrocordon1470]

Low frecuencied are more difficult to handle, so when you remove them, the rest of frecuencied get more in control (tighter). It's a cuestión of driver quality and amp power and quality. Monolith thx 15 is as tight and clean as the pb3000 and it's also a sub which can hit really hard 10hz in room. Maybe the problem here is that klipsch didn't use the quality components the subwoofer needed to play frecuencied under 20Hz, so the trik you are doing it should have done by klipsch.

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🤔.??

[@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.

[@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.

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

[@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)

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.

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.

I’m still waiting for Klipsch to send me one, but we just finished up a MWAVe 2023. We purchased the 1600 for the show to use in our blind Subwoofer comparison. Out of seven subwoofers, the people chose the 1600 in the top three, even favored over the PB16. I think it has some serious potential.

[@leperlord7078]

PS On amazon(Canada) i find SVS PB (ported) and SB(sealed) Since i have zero knowledge on subs i ask you if you prefer sealed or ported,and why? The one your chuffed about here is ported,so i assume that is the one to have?

[@Youthman]

Ported subs typically have more output. Sealed subs tend to dig deeper. I sold my PB16’s and upgraded to (4) sealed 18’s and now I have the best of both worlds. Flat down to 10Hz and PLENTY of output.

What are your thoughts on the SVS SB-2000 Subs? Im considering a pair of those. With 500W amps and small size I think they would be perfect for my space.

[@Youthman]

I have not heard the 2000 series. Only the 3000 and 16 Series

[@sbeard99]

@@Youthman That's my struggle. Im interested in swapping out my B&W CM9 S2 and ASW CM10 S2 fronts and sub with Klipsch RP-8000f and SVS Sub since as far as I can tell, especially from both yours and the Audiophiliac's reviews of Klipsch that it would fit my musical tastes of classic and modern hard rock better, as well as have great home theater application. Problem is no SVS or Klipsch dealers in my state and I really don't like buying audio equipment without having listened to them first.

[@Youthman]

It is very difficult to buy sight unseen, which is why I try to offer videos on my channel from a consumer’s perspective.

[@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

[@a0ag2]

may i ask you .. What do you think is better Klipsch R115 or SVS PB-1000 ?? because those subwoofer at same price in my country ..

[@Youthman]

I haven’t heard the PB1000 but the R-115SW should outperform the PB1000

[@alelys66]

Your talking about the cleanes of the sound from the PB. I wonder, if you can get SB to deliver the same pressures/dB down low in frequency. It will sound even cleaner? :)

[@sukhsrboss5693]

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

[@MSRWorkshop]

So would you go dual pb3000 or one pb 16ultra?

[@Youthman]

I went dual PB16’s but that’s just me.

[@Tec2Nut]

One of my R115sws amps has blown and getting on is not easy here in Ireland, so I am thinking of upgrading to dual SVS PB2000 pros or PB300s and eventually running all four when I get the 115 repaired , would this be a good move ? In the right direction. Room is 16 ft x 9 x 8.thanks .

[@Youthman]

No issues mixing SVS ported subs with Klipsch ported subs

[@LifeofBliss]

Two subwoofers?!? That's nuts dude... Who even does that?? 😅 Informative video man, gonna have to check that movie out. Very excited to demo some SVS subs in the future

[@Youthman]

Who is insane enough to have dual 12” drivers in their main speakers, 10” woofer in their surrounds and (3) 24” subs? Probably Life of Bliss. 😂

[@LifeofBliss]

@@Youthman well now I just feel silly for even saying anything 🤣

[@Sc2God724]

I have 2 10s for music purposes 2 12s are better for movies I really don't like any bigger I would do 4 12s for the best of music and movies 4 10s doesn't make to much sense it will sound good for music and good for movies but not bad ass if you were going for a 4 sub set up

[@LifeofBliss]

@@Sc2God724 eh, skip the 12s for movies. 18s or 24s are where it's at for ULF content in movies 😉👍

[@troyhill3828]

Correct me if I'm wrong, the pv3000 is inside a sealed box. So in actuality your comparing a sealed sub to a ported subwoofer. The ported box is going to give you more bass and not roll off as much. The seal box the bass is always tighter n punchier so its about preference. Do u want deep heart taking bass or some bass with somewhat of a sound quality subwoofer. Give me the ported sound for my bass

[@Youthman]

Both of these subs are ported. PB = Ported Box SB = Sealed Box

[@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.

[@russelllow4073]

I’m really looking in getting the pb-3000. When you mean tactile bass that means you can feel it in your chest right? That’s what I want

[@Youthman]

Yes.

[@russelllow4073]

Youthman perfect!

[@farhanrasel8955]

Which one better SB2000 pro or. Klipsch spl150?

[@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?

[@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?

[@rodirish7787]

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?

[@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

[@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

[@chriswelljack4910]

Hey youthman my friend how is those pb16 working out for you boss?

[@Youthman]

They are working great - kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnbcm2V4j7uLhq8

[@mnts73]

What would you recommend the PB-3000 or the PB-4000?

[@Youthman]

I have not heard the PB4000 but it should be better than the PB3000

[@mnts73]

@@Youthman , thanks.

[@gustavonobrega2346]

Which movies are the scenes you tested it from?

[@Brandon-ob8ul]

Well i just ordered 2 pb3000 so I hope they impress.... was going to go 1x pb4000 or 1x pb16 and buy another later, but hope these 2x pb3000s are enough.

[@Slickman2006]

Are they enough?

[@Brandon-ob8ul]

@@Slickman2006 well beyond enough. I see no reason to go bigger these Shake everything, and I mean everything. Freaks the dog out too.

[@annyekdna1552]

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

[@__jabird__2635]

Call me crazy 😜, but I was completely unaware that subwoofers 🔊 could dive or float. 😳

[@Youthman]

Haha learn something new every day

[@Amfibios]

thanks for your insight mate

[@rexile1986]

Aquaman was pushing the subwoofer up? Damn that’s some 4th wall breaking there

[@Youthman]

LOL

[@adanperez75471]

Which would be better 2 Klipsch of 15 or 2 sb 16 ultra for movies thanks

[@Youthman]

I prefer ported subs for movies.
