Click to expand... Agreed - the current Ultra is quite nice. Also, the 16" smaller Ultra is supposed the be the last of three new designs coming out, and I'd be surprised to see those shipped before next July. So, how long do you want to wait?

From what I hear from SVS employees is the PB 16 will perform similar to that of the PB13 Ultra. The only difference will be the PB 16 will be smaller and weigh less.....Smaller in size with the same or similar performance. Thats what I was told.... I have the Ultra...and I very very happy with it. I just got the sub EQ 2 days ago Reactions: m3maniac

To the OP: If you have the space and the funds I wouldn't wait for the the SB16. The PB13 Ultra by many accounts is a true performer. I have the PB-12 Plus (new version) in a 13' x 21' x 8' room and when the bass rolls trough the room it is quite impressive. Reactions: m3maniac

Could the PB Ultra be too much bass for a similar sized room 14.5' x 23.5' x 8'? Am trying to decide between the Ultra and the new PB-12Plus.

(probably depending on you listening habits and whether your room is sealed or open...) Call SVS and they will recommend what you need. They are not known to over sell.

R Ron Temple Senior Audioholic Mar 30, 2005 677 0 43 74 San Jose, CA Sep 11, 2009 #12 I was told that the PB13 will still be the output king. The SB16U might or might no outperform the U13 in sealed mode (probably will), but the DSP, the possible onboard EQ and it's sealed design will definitely appeal to many. Maybe me too. I've run my Ultra in sealed mode and quite prefer it for music, but I ran out of headroom once during Valkyrie at what I thought was a safe volume, so I put it back in 15hz tune.
