I use an SVS 2000 Pro sub with my JBL L100 Classic speakers and I have gotten them to blend really well together. They are a very musical subwoofer if you connect it correctly and use the SVS software to control the sub. I spent close to a month dialing it in, made many notes, trial and error and got the sound “just right” for my taste. You are blaming the sub when you made the mistake to not check out fully what your receiver has for inputs and outputs. Don’t diss the sub for your own mistakes.
Bought the wrong subwoofer!
I was planning to buy a Rel subwoofer but stumbled across a good deal for a SVS sb-2000 pro so I decided to give it a try. Turns out that the the pre-outs on my integrated amp aren’t pre-outs at all but are rec outs (should have put on my glasses). The Svs doesn’t have high level inputs and my amp doesn’t have pre-outs so I’m screwed right? Guess it wasn’t such a great deal after all.
