Was thinking maybe SVS, PB-1000 sub. Seems pretty decent for my room size. Anyone has any experience with SVS lineup?
And again other suggestions are welcome if you can back them up with sensible explanation
SVS is very, very highly regarded here and not only for the performance, but it still manages to be more affordable than some fancy brand names. It's hard to go wrong with these when it comes to build quality (superb) and performance. Just be sure to calculate your real-world needs for this.
The question goes back to whether you need it for music more than movies, other way around or equally.
This is why. Even though Mr.Poes,a residential Black Belt in subs, claims you can have a seald that will dig as deep as a ported sub, it still holds true that what you find in the market as a general rule is that ported subs have deeper and louder low end and thus handle movie effect sounds better.
For music you might get away with a sealed one which can offer smoother roll off (again, just a rule of thumb), but they wouldn't and don't need to go as deep. Yes some instruments go deep, but in all fairness it's a very small portion of the music. (Oh, and they are smaller)
With new models of subs which are not only active but DSP controlled, the overall behavior is even much better than before and can be tailored to your listening room needs. However, the 1000 models have just an amp with basic, traditional knobs.
The first in the line to have DSP is 2000 Pro.
