SVS SUBWOOFERS

I do not own an SVS PC sub but do own an SB13 Plus and could not be more pleased with it for music and HT. I also own a fantastic Revel B15($3300.00) which msrp'd for more than twice the SB13P($1500.00), and the SVS has no trouble at all keeping up. As a matter of fact, the well documented attributes of the B15, speed, timing, timbre, and it's ability to integrate well with your main speakers, the SB13P may just slightly trump it in all of those areas.

As far as the SVS PC subs, I have no experience but do know owners that absolutely love theirs and professional reviews have been unanimously positive. From my understanding, the PC13 Ultra with the SLEDGE amp performs just about on par with the PB13 Ultra with slightly less volume in the 15Hz region which may be due to the PB13 U's larger cabinet volume.

I've never heard one, but they test incredibly well for FR, clean output capability, and group delay (one test for subwoofer "speed", as that term is commonly used here).

I saw them and heard them. Even wenn you give them me for free I would not want these f.....ugly sub's. They are too slow.

I was looking at those, too. I wrote and also called the company and got great responses both ways. I wanted the most musical subs for a stereo, with Maggie 1.7s. They suggested their sealed cubes, SB 13 Ultras. So, I think if you are looking for home theater, their larger cylinder subs are great, but the sealed ones are better for music. I ended up using their suggested crossover points as well. I use them in stereo, sounds much better than dual mono, and I use an Antimode Cinema for each. I think you should consider something like that, unless you have an AV receiver that can reduce room created peaks. The subs have a lot of ability themselves, but you need equipment that can identify just where those peaks are. So, while I can't speak about those particular subs, I think very well of the company and their products in general.

Are you speaking about the PC subs or all SVS subs? If the SVS SB13 Plus or SB13 Ultra are considered slow, then I have no clue what fast is. The Revel B15 is usually thought of as a fast and rhythmic subwoofer and from what I have observed, the SB13Plus is just as fast. Though neither are servo controlled, both implementations mimic servo characteristics(speed, timing) pretty well IMO.
