SVS sub owners, Past and Present


I’d like to hear from (like the title states) SVS owners,past and present about what you DIDN’T like about the subs.  That’s correct,I’m looking for any issues you had with this brand of subs.  I am thinking about making a purchase,( I’m well aware of their generous return policy), but instead of hearing all the praise, let’s get to the nitty gritty.  With all due respect,I’m not looking for opinions, I’m only looking to hear from real live,hands on owners.  
 

     Thanks in advance,

Hello I have gone up the ladder from the $499 before the new Great app,

to the very respectable 3000sb , then after hearing ,having the 4000-SB in m6 home , my brother owns the Ultra 16s , the 400 SB is a smaller version 

the sb16 is just too Big for any med size room ,I have 20x16 x8 and the 16 are 200+ lbs each , my 4000sb is only 102 lbs each and only a bit bigger then the sb3000, but is more tuneful easier to integrate into the room then the SB 3000

it just has better defined controlled Bass .I only have one currently and fills the room nicely ,I only sit 10 ft from the speakers.

I have the SVS SB2000 as well and it has not done one thing to disappoint me.

I am beginning to suspect it's cheating on me.

I run three SVS sealed subs, two SB-2000s set at 60Hz and 50Hz, and one SB-3000 set at 40Hz in a modified DBA/swarm set up in a 17 x 21 x 10 foot sized room. Volumes are set low as mains run full-range currently. It blends in well and cements the real bottom end nice and tightly. They replaced a great REL Britannia B1 sub.

Lots of good sub mfrs these days besides SVS, but I remain very satisfied.

There is definitely some good things going on at SVS.  However, I was actually leaning towards a pair of REL T5x.  Then, I spot an ad for a pair of SB2000 pro’s that I would be insane not to jump on.  They will be here tomorrow, hopefully waiting for me when I get home from work.  I have already moved the old pair of HSU STF-1’s into my secondary system in the “PIT”. I still have the big HSU in my listening room. First, I’m going to just set up the two SVS’s, and get a feel for them. I’m really kind of excited to upgrade the subs. I’ll report back…….

I have one in my office system supplementing a pair of JBL L100 Classic speakers.
