Recently purchased a pair of the sealed SVS SB2000s for my two channel system with the goal of not only filling-in the bottom down to 20 Hz, but also with musical clarity of timbre and dynamics. My speakers are Thiel 2.4 and I have the subs placed in the same plane as the mains, which are about two feet out from the front wall. The subs are placed just inside the mains and are spearated by about 7 feet. WIth the continuous phase control set at 0 and crossing the subs at about 60 Hz (using the line in/line out option so that the mains are high passed at 80 Hz with 2nd order, 12 dB down per octave), the results are very smooth and continuous. I cannot perceive the location of the subs but the Thiels now "extend" all the way down now with clarity and authority. Plus, they are very quick and keep identical pace with stop/start dynamics. My original plan to extend bass response in my room was to sell the Thiels and get a pair of Vandersteen Quattros, but I am now keeping the 2.4s and saving a ton of money. I am very impressed and happy with them as you can tell. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!
SVS PB-16 Sub
A friend asked me to have a look at this Sub on line as he is considering a purchase. I'm not really into sub's, and I really couldn't find much in the way of reviews on-line. Lots of "direct to door" internet sellers, but no "Brick and Mortar" shops that I could find. I did look at a promo on You Tube, and was intrigued by the big 8 inch voice coil.
Anyone have any experience with these SVS subs? Just curious, and wondering what kind of quality this manufacturer puts into the build of their subs.
