SVS Subwoofers: Which Entry-Level Sub? (PB-1000 vs PB-2000 & SB-1000 vs SB-2000)

[@roguewarr4662]

One of they best if not the best review of the SB 1000 series subs out there . I am in the market for a so called Budget sub . And I have watched over 20 videos on this sub ,to see if everyone is coming up with the same conclusion . And for what it looks like SVS has hit the so called (nail on the head) . Matt watching you listening and evaluating with all of your years of experience ,plus a tear down of the subs is over the top in a review . For me the sealed sub is the one I'M buying ,cause I'm over the boom era in my life. Thanks Matt for your honesty .TWO THUMBS UP.

[@Bdr4441]

Last year the PB 2000 Pro’s were 899. I was brand new to the HT/Audio hobby. I had recently inherited a pair of what I believe are JBL studio monitors manufactured between 1971-73.Their measurements,construction materials, and finish all point to being some variation of the L100’s. Anyway, they ROCKED and I wanted to pair them with an appropriate sub that would also shake the house during movies. So yeah, my 26ft wide x 40ft long x 12ft high living room now proudly hosts a PB 2000 pro.

[@ganesang5537]

That's a big ass living room deserving a big ass sub.

I know this is a year old but I’m happy to come across your channel. I was in the process of upgrading my vintage NHT vt1.2 systems sub and the svs sb 2000 seems like just the kick I need. Really appreciate your review.

[@ObsessedGarage]

I think the SB2000Pro is the best value in the line.

[@MarcelNL]

The SB 1000 Pro has the highest wife acceptance factor.

[@MarcelNL]

Thanks for the Like! 🙂 I have some questions that I hope you perhaps could answer. My curent speakers sound a bit muddy: the amp is a bit weak and the speakers don't have enough breathing room by the walls for the bass. Besides that I want a deeper bass extention, I also want to solve the problem with the sound of the speakers, and I want to place an SB 1000 Pro next to each speaker for that. I have a NAD C165BEE + C275BEE combination; a stereo set. Is there a way to connect these subwoofers in a way that they take away the bass from the speakers, so they can focus more on the mids and highs? Or is turning down the bass all the way the only option? Also: it's in a room of about 16.5 by 16.5 foot. Will 2 100 Pro's be sufficient for that? I'm not an extreme bass-head but do enjoy good deep tones in music and like a reasonable amount of support in the deeper tones in movies without the entire room exploding in thunder. For instance: moments like "Godzilla (2014) - Nuclear Train Attack Scene" should sound really convincing.

[@MarcelNL]

@@bryanguest2807 ok zoomer. Since you clearly don't have much life experience yet, let me explain: for wifes ingeneral the interior is far more important than sound quality. Speakers must be as small as possible and the color and shape/style must fit with the closets and the couch etc, or otherwise must be as invisible as possible. Subwoofers should also be as small as possible and preferrably be hidden behind the couch or some obscure corner where a potted plant can be placed on top of it, preferrably with a cloth over it so you don't see it. My wife fortunately isn't that bad; we have very good floor standing speakers (although my old ones that had a superior sound she did hate) and with much luck I was able to get a pre- and power amplifier under the television. She hadn't realised that the power amp also belonged to the set, otherwise I probably had to look for some low-powered compact amp that absolutely wouldn't be able to power these speakers enough. She is not too happy with the idea of a subwoofer, but one tiny one is acceptable. I do want to have 2: one next to each speaker. So, zoomer, does this answer your question?

[@mauriciolee7349]

Thank Matt for this very DETAILED & HELPFUL comparison of SVS PB 1000, PB 2000, SB 1000, and SB 2000. I totally agree with you that PB 2000 is the best subwoofer for me because it fills the room and it sounds like an integral part of the audio system. It does not sound like a subwoofer that is attached to another system. The only downside for me is the weight -- 65 pounds! I need one person to help me taking it home or moving it to a desired location.

Matt, If you could add the home theater element to these types of comparisons that would be great. In other words, If you were going to put a SVS sub or set of subs into a Home Theater what's your recommendations.

[@MOAB-UT]

Depends on size of room. If you also want MUSIC, probably SB2000 or 3000. It's tighter than ported. SVS gives you no risk 45 days to try them out. SB2000 can work form many people. Did you end up buying one?

[@colelmore]

Also might check out RSL subwoofers 10s mk2 as a ~500 entry level option as well. Bought one a little while ago and like it a lot better than the pb-1000 my parents have. It is a 10 inch ported driver with 400 watts rms in a smaller cabinet than the SVS ported subs due to the slot port which to me doesn’t have any negative effects on sound. The driver itself also appears to be a little higher quality than SVSs lower tier options.

[@mousec2600]

I just bought one too. It's scheduled to arrive soon. Thanks for the vote of confidence. I look forward to it fulfilling my hopes. $$ is a large concern for me, and from what I've been able to discover the 10s MKII offers the best performance in it's price range. Been waiting nearly a month. Since my old sub died I've developed an all new appreciation of how much they contribute to my home theater system.

[@beakiller25]

@@mousec2600 how did you like it? Have you tested it against other subs?

[@mousec2600]

@@beakiller25 I'm thrilled with it's performance. It's goes lower than the bottom firing 12" it's taking the place of, and is more musically satisfying as well. It's the only sub I have, so I haven't been able to compare it with anything other than my memories of it's predecessor. One I'd been wholly satisfied with for 15 years. The RSL Speedwoofer 10S MKII out performs it across the board. It fills my house with richer, more powerful, bass than my old sub ever did, even though It had a bigger driver and a higher price tag. I'm extremely pleased so far. I've heard RSL is preparing to offer a 12" model, so that might be something worth looking into. I can't imagine a larger driver, and perhaps a higher wattage amplifier, would make it anything but even more fantastic. I believe I made a very good choice when I decided to give this sub a try, and fully intend to partner it with the new 12" version when it arrives, and I'm able to afford it. The strength of the 10S MKII has awakened my hunger for even more BOOM!

I have to say that's an impressive-looking garage with the cabinets and flooring. I subscribed when you said you were using the PSB P5's because I've become a pretty big fan of their speakers although I've yet to own any of them. The system in my garage is quite humble compared to what you're using in this test but I have to say it sounds pretty darn good to me and this isn't my first rodeo. All of the gear in my garage were at one time being used in the house. A JBL JSR-400 AVR which was purchased for my daughter's first system when she became a teenager over 25 years ago, an old pair of AuraSound LSB-527M bookshelves and a budget Dahlquist PDQ-1500 15" ported sub. I can't say I was ever happy with the JBL AVR when it was in my daughter's system but I was pleasantly surprised when it was pressed into duty in the garage when the old Sherwood RD7106 AVR I had been using finally died after owning it for 25 years. All in all, for a garage system I"m quite happy with it.

80hz is the reccomended setting by thx and if you use the lfe phono connection it is all set,..... uing the other phono you can adjust the values most bookshelves will do 60hz so i set the lowest for my rears and sides and center to 60hz, the main l&r to full range, and the subs to start to come in at 80hz, so there is small overlap so i can level match them....

Hi! Thank you for all the details. I just purchased one sb-1000 pro to go with my Focal Aria 948 in a large room (around 60sqm). It is connected to speaker level since I have the power amp Pioneer M-73 with the preamp c-73. Two questions: 1. When everything is turned off, except the sub, the later goes humming. When I turn on the preamp and the power amp, the hum goes away. So I can listen to any source just fine, with no hum. Any solution to get rid of the hum? 2. What would be the best settings in the app for my sub with the Focal Aria 948 through speaker level inputs? I use the Music preset, just lowering the volum to -14. My auditions are moderate to low.

Well now I'm confused lol I listen to bass-heavy music like EDM and rap, so ported seems like the way to go, but Matt also says the 2000 series is worth the upgrade. I can't quite swing for the PB-2000 and it's also quite large for my liking. So, PB-1000 Pro @ $799 or SB-2000 Pro @ $899??

[@ObsessedGarage]

I think the 2000 is a significant upgrade, so even with bass heavy stuff, I'd choose the SB2000PRO.

[@lillydog1987]

Thanks for asking what I was going to ask as well. Thanks to both

[@Marcel-ex3jd]

I ordered 1x SVS sb4000 This is the best woofer for the reviews of the world for Home Chinema , movie ,Game , tv and music

[@buckeyerick5646]

Now I'm confused lol. I was talking to rep from svs and with my room measurements of 13 w x 17 d x 7.5-9 ht and a Denon avr 1082 5.1 receiver n 2 41 inch jbl s312 floorspeakers he suggested the pb-2000 pro (550w/1500+ w peak)$1099. For the same price there is the sb-3000 . I love the ported but I may not be able 2 fit the ported eventually 2 in the room. The sb-3000 is smaller sealed n has 800 w with 2500 w peak. I am curious 2 c what they suggest 2 me. I like more bass and probably gonna go with sb-3000.

[@ObsessedGarage]

Personally, I almost always prefer a sealed sub to a ported, so if I can have a better driver, more powerful amp in a sealed box, I'd chose that.

[@bigjon.6258]

Great Review.....Thanks.....💯🇺🇸

[@TheBluuHouse]

Are you loving the sound of the PSB's or the $2k+ DAC? If I bought them and connected them to a $1000 AVR, will they sound as amazing?

[@ObsessedGarage]

I find the PSBs to sound good on pretty much anything.

[@williamhicks2763]

@@ObsessedGarageIt looks like the PSB AM 5’s have the ferro-fluid cooled tweeter but the P5’s do not. So those may be the AM 5’s.

[@williamnowicki68]

Great review! What would you suggest for Klipsch RP8000f ii ? I like the dual subs people have but is it even need with these? They seem killa

[@ObsessedGarage]

I really like the SB2000 Pro. Two of those or the 3000 would be nice.

[@williamnowicki68]

Sealed or ported? High percentage is movies but I could always get the plugs. Would you prefer 2 of pb1000, or single pb2000?😅

[@RodneyD]

What Lav mic are you using to Record your vocals for this video?

[@ObsessedGarage]

Sennheiser AVX with MKE-2 Mic

[@Var272]

I have a opportunity to snag a SB 2000 for a great deal ($300). I currently have a PB 1000. Should I replace with SB 2000?

[@ObsessedGarage]

Yeah, I think it's a pretty significant upgrade. I'd do it.

[@b0rg1010]

My Paradigm PS 1000 has bitten the dust after 31 years of use. I plan to open it up and see what's going on. It's making a horrid popping and clicking sound. So eyeing up PB-2000 as a replacement if I cannot rescue my Paradigm. It'll be a shame to see it go as I f'ing love it. Nice review.

[@KimmoJaskari]

Would have been interesting to have the PC 2000 Pro tube sub in this comparo. I'm guessing it would rate similar to the PB2000 but have a smaller floor footprint (just go way taller). Interesting video anyway, I'm looking at subs at the moment. Leaning towards sealed.

[@ObsessedGarage]

You are correct.

[@pauljames1586]

@ObsessedGarage Hi. Thank you for making this video. Would two sb-1000 pro’s be equal or better to 1 sb-2000 pro? Thank you again.

[@ObsessedGarage]

I think I’d rather have a single 2000. It’s such a big upgrade over the 1000.

[@pauljames1586]

Thank you for your reply!

[@intelizWild]

Do u prefer sealed versus ported subwoofers? And if so, why?

[@ObsessedGarage]

I generally prefer sealed. They tend to sound a little tighter and less boomy, but that is not always the case. A properly tuned ported enclosure can be magical.

[@scottbennett3119]

Thanks for all the time you put into this review. What model PSB speakers are you using on the shelf?

[@ObsessedGarage]

They are P5.

[@DutchCorvette]

Im looking for a Sub for my living room HT 5x7 meters My budget allows me to buy the PB-1000 or the SB-2000 im using it for movies and some spotify music. the speaker im now using are Q acoustic 3050i in 5.4.1 setup with a MJ Acoustics 50pro subwoofer. And its so hard to make a choice between the SVS subs.

[@ObsessedGarage]

I still think the SB2000 is the better choice for that.

[@tohotmosiii7898]

Excellent review !

[@Swagory]

Is it possible that being that you played all subwoofers at the same volume level the amp in the sb 1000 pro just couldn't've reach that level without clipping thus sounding muddy at high volume levels? Another thing is that your space is huge and that's pretty much the smallest subwoofer with the weakest amp they sell besides the 3000 micro. I'm pretty sure the SB 1000 pro will slam in a 12x12 room. For my computer room i have Klipsch RP400m's playing off a RSL ia225.1 mini amplifier. i think the Sb 1000 pro will do nicely.

[@georgioantoine4194]

wicked content. i have the cute SB1000. i love it, however it tends to make a rattle? Any recommendations on how to set it up properly? i usually watch horror and war movies oh and Marvel…

[@ObsessedGarage]

If there's a rattle then something is loose either inside or around the subwoofer. I would start with making sure everything is properly tightened.

[@rcdb4160]

If my theater room is 9ft x 12ft ... sealed or ported svs 1000????

[@mohammedisaa9952]

Always a pair of ported

[@Gnostic_Plague]

So what are the bookshelf PSB(?) speaker models that you were pairing and raving over? Thanks for the great video

[@ObsessedGarage]

PSB P5

[@hclandscapes]

How does the SB3000 compare to the SB4000?

[@Doomfearkeeper]

Cool video! I had dual PB 1000's pro's for awhile then earlier this year I traded them up for dual PB 3000's. I skipped the PB 2000's cause I felt the difference between the 1000's and the 2000's wasn't enough (for me) so I went to the 3000's. Couldn't be happier! But anyways cool video! Subbed.

[@Doomfearkeeper]

@@happydogg312 No I did not listen to the PB 2000 pro. The 225 watt (RMS) difference between the 1000 pro (325 rms) and the 2000 pro (550 rms) just just did not seem to be a enough of a difference for me. With the PB 3000 I got 800 RMS, a 475 watt increase from the PB 1000 pro. Plus the edge wound split wind voice coil the 3000 series employs also attracted me to the PB 3000.

[@asciilogic]

What about SVS PB16-Ultra? Any plans on selling this monster?

[@pedaldaily]

I don’t have an air conditioned garage. How will these speakers and subs hold up to the temperature and humidity fluctuations of the mid Atlantic?

[@mohammedisaa9952]

They should cope as long as its not too humid, if it can be for electronics than sealed is the safeist bet, buy your amp for your speakers is just as likely to suffer electronically, so if thats ok, so should your subs be ok...... notice anyy rust or dampness in our amplifier?.........

[@lucianvictorgudiu8926]

i think i watched hour videos 3,4 times . i know what i want to buy , but i dont know which model . SB 2000 old model i got a perfect proce 600 euro , but SB 2000 Pro its 1000 euro in my country . what do you think ? is there a big difference between them ? thank you in advance .

[@ObsessedGarage]

Yes, the Pro is much better and worth the extra cost.
