Great speaker really good

Bis der Klang passte, musste ich allerdings den Aufstellort mehrmals verändern.1 Stern Abzug, weil bei höheren Lautstärken die Membran zu scheppern beginnt, und das sollte bei einem 500-1000 Watt-Subwoofer eigentlich nicht mehr passieren. Aber alles, was man in Wohnungen spielen kann, deckt der PB 2000 perfekt ab, bis in den tiefsten Bassbereich hinunter! Toll dabei auch die differenzierte Ansprache bei niedrigeren Pegeln. Für den Partykeller jedoch ist er immer noch zu schwach. Dafür geeignete Subwoofer enttäuschen dafür bei Zimmerlautstärke. Insgesamt sehr empfehlenswert.

I've had the SVS PB 2000 for a couple of weeks and it is what I was hoping it would be. I set it up in a 13 x22' room with an opening to another room and it delivers. My setup gave me -4.5 and I have it at about 11:00 on the back volume and it sounds /feels great.I've been mainly listening to electronic /hip hop and it's not just the lowest lows that are good but the mids as well. Watched some blue rays; Mad Max, Oblivion, Tron etc and the sub gets real low without any chuffing or nasty vibrations . During Batman it had some good punchy lfe moments and it wasn't sloppy or rumbly at all. I think it looks great and you can see the speaker through the grill, like it's lurking there. Now I have to go around and secure some rattling items; fireplace, shelves etc. I would definitely recommend this unit.

sin palabras, esta marca es todo en subs. a diferencia de las torres prime que no me gustaron en sus agudos que son muy estridentes a alto volumen, estos cuates se especializan en subwoofers. simplemente lo mejor de lo mejor.

Purchased this to replace a ten year old, busted amplifier, Velodyne DLS4000. I thought my old Velodyne was big, this is way bigger. The sound isn't as punchy as my servo controlled Velodyne, but in return, the SVS hits notes that my Velodyne could never hit. Not necessarily a bad thing, it's just a different experience. I can feel movie explosions now where as before, I could hear them. My first impression gave me the feeling that my new SVS wasn't as loud, but after some crossover and AV adjustments, my SVS left me with my jaw dropped. Incredible performance, incredible bass notes, and a driver that didn't seem phased by anything I throw at it. I can only hope this sub lasts me over ten years like my old Velodyne did. It blends flawlessly with my Athena S.5's. Subtle when it needs to be, but erupts with bass murder when called upon. Great sub at a very fair price. Now to save up for a second one!UPDATE 12/18/2020Finally snagged a second PB-2000 and am running dual PB-2000's in my home theater. The sale price for the holidays was way too good to pass up. At $599, it was a steal. Dual PB-2000's flank my center channel. If you think one PB-2000 shakes the house, two will leave you speechless. Blends very well with my set of 7 Sony Core speakers. Running Sony CS3 towers up front, Sony CS8 center channel, and 4 Sony Core CS5's as surrounds/Atmos height channels. I can no longer hear the house rattling with the second sub, all I hear is clean bass that you can feel in your chest and the chair I am sitting in. Audio was configured using Audyssey. Amazing subs that can play at obscene sound levels without distortion.

I wish I could give this 3.5 stars but oh well it is what it is. Firstly I have a klipsch 12sw and I was hoping to replace it with this. I ended up using both.What I like about this sub:It goes lower than the klipsch 12swit's very clean tight basswhat I didn't like:Not loud enough. Even with gain maxed it only reaches the same rumble as my klipsch 12sw at half gain. It goes lower but definitely not louder. The booms are more silent than the klipsch 12sw.I expected to be blown away, you won't be blown away with this, at least not after experincing the klipsch sw. I suppose though that they go well together because they cover for each others weaknesses.

Needed a subwoofer for my 1500 sq ft basement to match a pair of Klipsch rf3. Have owned Polk audio and Miller&Kreisel subs in the past. Spent hours looking at subwoofer reviews. Very difficult to choose when the market is overloaded with all types stated theirs are the best. Hard to shop when you cannot test/listen the sub and have to trust the reviews. My goal was to stay under $1,000. After reviewing Hsu, SVS, Polk, Velodyne, Klipsch, Psb, and a list of others I began to focus on subs from Hsu and SVS. Narrowed down to the Hsu vtf3 mk5 and SVS pb2000. Very tough decision based on reviews especially on the Hsu because of its high spl rating but I choose the SVS pb2000 and found it for $719 with free shipping from 1OneCall. It arrived and I was very pleased to see the quality of packaging. When I opened the box I was surprised to see this thing is big. After hooking up to my system using my receivers crossover lfe and tuning to my ears I could not believe the sound quality and the punch it provides. Not only does it get down low it provides smooth quality bass with low distortion. I have no drywall up so can't wait to hear this in an enclosed room. From fit to finish this company knows how to make a great product. I could not image 2 of these side by side or the next step up pb12 plus.

El mejor sub que he tenido, anteriormente tuve Yamaha y polk audio DSW 660wi de 12' . El SVS pb2000 es impresionante comparado a los dos anteriores, ahora estoy usando el svs y el polk, en un cuarto de 5 x 7 m². Con en a buena colocación y calibracion correcta este sub no tiene rival, el sonido se siente no se escucha, el sofá tiembla cuando es necesario llenando de notas graves toda la habitacion. La construcción del svs es aprueba de balas, grande,pesado y solido. Las leyes de la física no se pueden romper en cuanto a el tamaño de el cajón de los subwoofers, este es grande tanto como los graves que proporciona. Estoy feliz con la compra ya que sentía que a mi home theatre le hacia falta algo de bajas frecuencias y con el pb2000 tengo mas que suficiente. Si quieres un sub de calidad este es el mejor en su rango de precios graves profundos y bestiales cuando la ocasion lo amerita.

INITIALLY THE SUB DID NOT WORK (skip to the review if you're not interested in the reason and fix)The sub arrived double boxed in massive boxes. I unpacked and carried it downstairs to my theater. I plugged it in along with my YPAO and went through the setup. The blue light on the sub was on but there was no sound. I fiddled with the dials on the back to no avail. It was dead! There was no universe in which I wanted to carry the subwoofer back upstairs, double box and return it. SVS was closed so I wasn't able to call their customer service line. For those of you that purchase audio equipment, you understand the feeling of waiting for it to arrive in order to setup and pick up on the differences. Speakers, subs, amps, receivers; they're all toys we look forward to playing with. Anyway, I called SVS the next morning (Saturday). The gentleman encouraged me to return it. I said I didn't want to so he mentioned that a wire connected to the driver sometimes comes loose during transport. I would need to remove 12 screws from the amp and look inside. This is something I would NEVER do but desperation set in. I purchased a T15 Torx bit and removed the amp. I placed a flashlight inside the box so I could see. I didn't know what I was looking for but there were literally 3 wires by the driver and 1 wasn't plugged in. Pretty obvious. I plugged in the wire. Problem solved. Why would I rate this sub 5 stars after this? I'll tell you.REVIEW: (The sub has been in use for 2 weeks)Someone once told me (I've read this as well) that most subwoofers are just glorified boom boxes. They are not real subwoofers. I didn't understand what that meant until now. Some people buy into this and some don't. If you believe in that, this is my first "real subwoofer". I've owned plenty of subwoofers in the past and spent more with each new purchase. To name the most recent subs:* Polk PSW505 - 300 watt RMS/460 Peak (12")* Premier Acoustic PA-150 - 250 watt RMS/1000 peak (15")Prior to purchasing the 12" SVS sub, my 15" PA-150 was the biggest in-home theater subwoofer I'd seen in person. The PA-150 weighs 87 pounds. I've attached pictures of the PA-150 and PB-2000 side by side.For the sake of this review I will compare the PA-150 to the PB-2000 and include comparisons to the PSW505.I was always impressed by the PSW505's ability to rattle windows and the entire house (I thought this was a subs purpose). The PA-150 built on this and hit even harder, rumbling everything around. The PA-150 produced bass that was a bit more defined than the PSW505, separating individual explosions in an action scene. Think dynamite exploding in a line and each bunch explodes a quarter second after the next. With the PSW505 this was one big rumbling explosion with varying intensity due to inability to separate each individual explosion (muddy). With the PA-150 this was multiple individual rumbling explosions and the sub was fast enough that their was silence in between explosions ((far less muddy). With the PB-2000 the explosions are completely isolated and punch you in the chest more than they rumble the room (not muddy at all).Another note; Neither of my previous subs were rated to play that low; PA-150 is rated 25Hz, PSW505 is rated 23Hz. Neither brand mentions dB level at these frequencies either. For comparison sake the PB-2000 plays down to 17Hz.So what does this mean? Many people have discussed this in great technical detail in their reviews. I tend to read through forums often and noticed a lot of people talking about bass that hits you in the chest. I thought that was just a saying. I felt my PA-150 vibrating my chest which was quite the experience but now I know what all those people were saying. The PB-2000 feels like it is quickly punching me in the chest without much force.I guess there are different types of bass. My previous subs always powerfully shook the room (to be fair the PA-150 shares characteristics with the PB-2000 but doesn't have the power to keep up). The PB-2000 doesn't always do that. In fact it's much more like movie theater bass (quick and clean) than car boombox bass that is heard and felt. The only time the room shakes is when a rocket launches or a massive explosion occurs or if you crank the thing to holy hell which is what I was doing at first. I was trying to make the sub feel as powerful as its predecessors when I should have been appreciating what it truly was instead.War of the Worlds (Tom Cruise version) contains a scene that displays this subs capabilities well. It's when the first machine comes up. My PA-150 was loud and rumbled everything and made this horrifying in a good way but didn't separate individual bass notes anywhere near as well as the PB-2000 (truthfully I didn't know what I was missing. I watched and smiled as the overbearing bass destroyed my room). The PB-2000 permeates my bones, constantly hits me in the chest, and makes me think there is something under my own house that is about to come up and blast everything in sight.The PB-2000 is not for everyone. In my younger days I would have preferred the PA-150 or PSW505 over the PB-2000. Back then I was drawn to the all-up-in-your-face-bass. This would have saved me quite a bit of money as well. Now I appreciate the sheer power, quick clean hits, and notice the separation more than before. I never knew there was supposed to be such separation in bass. You really don't know what you're missing until you hear it. I fear I've become a bass snob, although I still very much appreciate the couch shaking bass my friends PSW505 produces. Maybe I'm not a wholehearted snob.The only reason I bought the SVS sub is that my PA-150 started making a strange hum. I would have been semi-satisfied with the PA-150 otherwise.For reference my room size is 10' x 12'. This sub is overkill by a long shot for such a small room but I don't mind. I have zero reason to buy a second and run them in a dual configuration. I have no desire to step up to SVS's PB12 or PB13 ultra. If my room was twice the size I may buy a second PB-2000 and run them dual but one would probably be enough.In the pictures the 12" SVS sub is the longer one with the curved grill. The 15" PA-150 to my surprise is the smaller of the 2 subs.
