What is the forums opinion of SVS subs?

WTF is a “ 300 white played amplifier “…. ?

I never tried REL but an SVS micro and it was a mess in my system. Maybe more expensive models work great. 

I believe that if anyone were physically open up a SVS sub to inspect the internals; you’d perhaps have a different opinion on buying them.

The electronics were a huge disappointment to me as was the construction in my opinion. They do a very good job with outside finish, which of course is what sells.

Some 10 years ago I bought 2 of their tall round subs for my 2 channel system. I had them for some 8years and tried them with a variety of speakers but found them lacking, the MAJOR problem being the volume control which was very loud when barely cracked. I could not find a workaround and SVS was of no help. I eventually sold them at a huge loss to a guy who wanted them for his video system. Hopefully they are better now

I have had one SVS subwoofer long ago and didn’t have a good experience with the company. The unit needed service and they really didn’t want to do it. They wanted me to buy another subwoofer from them. Years later a local store in Ohio was selling SVS and stopped carrying the brand because SVS was selling direct, which meant the company could not make money??? I have Rythmik now and if I were to buy another subwoofer it would be Rythmik or Rel.
