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

[@joseluisruiz3789]

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

[@Youthman]

Never can please everyone

[@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

[@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

[@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!

[@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 😃👍🏽

[@chaycepup]

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

[@Youthman]

Haha

[@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!!

[@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

[@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... 😫

[@Youthman]

Patience my friend...patience

@Youthman keep up the great job & thank you! ;-)

[@Youthman]

Thanks

[@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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@MrGuss1963]

That Aquaman was phenomenal with those rsw-15 youth man

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]

Great video. Glad you gave an honest opinion. It all comes down to budget. I recommend Klipsch all the time... If they don't have the budget for a SVS.

@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

[@user-pd9cb4et2s]

Not subwoofer a submarine

[@willworld3007]

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

[@Youthman]

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

[@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.

[@17Kozzy17]

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

[@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

[@kingcrimson234]

[@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. 😂

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

[@bumkrilla5339]

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]

@@bumkrilla5339 eh, skip the 12s for movies. 18s or 24s are where it's at for ULF content in movies 😉👍

Thank you. Most companies will send me whatever product I want, I just have limited time to review and I have already done a lot of different SVS products I want to branch out and review others

[@stevenbullock9276]

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.

[@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.

[@CamaroWarrior]

Need an update of this video with the new klipsch RP-1400sw/RP-1600sw and PB3000/PB16 Ultra

[@Youthman]

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.

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.

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]

[@dpuffins]

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

[@wadimek116]

I think quite similar. I was really disappointed when I bought svs sb 4000 and midbass lost its punch and most movies dont even go to the lowest region where svs shines

[@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

[@Youthman]

SVS makes great subs...always have. I have Dual PB16’s in my setup. They are incredible

[@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

[@raymondtaveras9371]

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.

[@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.

[@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?

[@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? :)

[@vignyk7706]

Nice job...what you suggest 2 bic america 200pl sub or single klipsch R-115SW?

[@itzjustkris7964]

the correct answer is dual RSL speedwoofer 12s lol

[@FrankieKennethL]

im currently in the process of re-watching all your vids that use the SVS PB 3K for comparisons or just remarks...im trying to nail down my decision on which Pair of Subs Im gonna target...its between the 4K and 3K...dont have the room or budget to do Ultra16s (yet hehehe)...what were your thoughts between those two subs? or link me to any vid you've done that may help. gracias again Michael.

[@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.

[@garylethbridge6220]

great review.

[@deezsquuezeorg]

Would 3 klipsch Rw-10d and 1- Klipsch Rw-12d and 1 Klipsch 15 " KSW 300 be as good at 1 pb3000? Around 3k dynamic capability.... 57" cone area and not bad excursion...

[@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.

[@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?

[@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?

[@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?

[@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

[@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?

[@turbofargo]

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.

[@jamescampbell3110]

Michael what's the difference between the PB 3000 and the SB 3000 besides one being ported.

[@Youthman]

Ported is larger in size and has more output.

Yes the SVS PB3000 are like Tiger Woods; Masters 2019

R115SW compare against the PB2000, but still loses to SVS. To me klipsch make better speakers but not better subwoofers. If you get a chance try compare PB2000 against the R115SW, if SVS sent you one PB2000 to compare against it.

I’m with you on that.

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

[@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.

[@TheTheis1995]

Nice Video, i like the SVS 3000 Series and wanna buy one but i dont no which one PB or SB?

[@serithin4703]

A better compare is 1 PB3000 vs 2 PB2000. In that case I would say 2 PB2000 is better.

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.

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.
