bryantdrew,
You haven't stated whether you have two of the larger,ported SVS PB3000 or the smaller, sealed SVSSB3000 subs. It'd also be useful to know whether you're going to use these just for music, just for ht or a combination.
I'm very confident that either the Audio Kinesis Swarm or Debra distributed bass array system will outperform any pair of subs of almost any size and price for music and ht. Both are priced at $2,800 for the complete system which includes 4 subs(each sub is 4 ohms, 1'x1'x23",44 lbs, has a 10" long-throw aluminum driver and have removable port plugs so they can be run as ported or sealed.) and a 1,000 watt class AB amp/controller that powers all 4 subs and controls the volume, phase, crossover frequency and has limited e.q.
All 4 of my AK Debra subs are configured as ported and operate in mono mode with a flat frequency response from 20-100 Hz. I have a combination 2-ch music and 5.1 surround sound ht system using Magnepan planar magnetic speakers across the front (a pair of 6'x2' 2.7QR panels that have a deep bass limit of about 35 Hz as mains and a CC3 center channel that has a deep bass limit of about 50 Hz. I run all these speakers full-range with the cutoff freq.usually at 40 Hz for music and 50 Hz for ht.
The Debra or Swarm system provides natural, pitch-perfect, taut, articulate and dynamic bass that seems to effortlessly go as deep as the content requires and integrates seamlessly with the mid-bass to treble response from my main speakers on music. But the system also provides these same bass qualities along with the ability to provide deep, powerful, dynamic and accurate bass at high volumes that will shake the room when the content requires it on ht.
I think one of these DBA systems would perform equally well in virtually any room and with any speakers. I really don't believe it's possible for me to overstate how well this concept works and just an audition would convince almost anyone. I'm certain that an AK Swarm, Debra or even a custom DBA using a sub amp and 4 subs of your choice will significantly outperform any system using less than 4 traditional amplified subs of any size or price; definitely in bass quality and probably in bass quantity and impact. It truly does provide sota bass response that I've never been able to equal with 1 or 2 subs of various brands in my room and system.
It's also relatively inexpensive at $2,800 for everything but the rca interconnects and speaker cables, about the same price as 2 SVS PB3000 subs or a pair of many other high quality subs.
I'm not a retailer and have no association with Audio Kinesis. I'm just a very pleased customer trying to spread the word about how exceptionally well these DBA based systems actually perform.
