D Diesel57 Full Audioholic Nov 21, 2013 378 0 28 washington,dc metro area Aug 22, 2016 #1 How do I use these settings to get the best quality sound (music), jazz is my 1st preference, great sounding speakers, get offers for them all the time on a regular basis...is it necessary to make adjustments to the setting, don't want to get ahead of myself also I invite a upgrade in the x-over which is a project and a procedure I dare not even think about performing. I'm slowly upgrading, got 2 SVS Prime Towers 3 wks ago to go with Denon 1912 avr and in 2 wks getting a sub $800 budget, adding a center later...THANKS AGAIN

lovinthehd Audioholic Jedi Sep 11, 2012 44,890 0 113 Oakridge, OR Aug 22, 2016 #6 That a SVS PB or SB 1000? Is size or finish of the sub a consideration? How large a room is it going to be in? What kind of music do you listen to?

How tall are you ? That supposed to be an 8ft ceiling? Maybe not a very large room so a small sub may work for you. I'd prefer the SB1000 of those two since it has a 12" driver. Maybe the Rythmik L12 another consideration.

K KenM10759 Audioholic Ninja Oct 8, 2015 3,058 0 113 Spencer MA, USA Aug 23, 2016 #10 My room is about the same size, and I like jazz (and lots of other music.) I had the $500 SB1000 for a few months. Now I have the $700 SB2000 and it's so much better! I should note that it was the size of the SB1000 at under 14" square that attracted me to it. It's an outstanding performer for it's size, and currently in use at my cousin's house. The reason I went up to the SB2000 is that it's only about an inch & a half bigger square but seems (to me) to put out smoother sound with more authority at normal listening levels. Hard to describe, but I assure you I'm not confusing a difference in gain settings. Last edited: Aug 23, 2016 Reactions: Diesel57

lovinthehd Audioholic Jedi Sep 11, 2012 44,890 0 113 Oakridge, OR Aug 23, 2016 #11 I'd think the SB2000 would allow for a bit more eq and/or higher playback level. Always nice to have more headroom, why I prefer multiple sealed 18"s Reactions: Diesel57

K KenM10759 Audioholic Ninja Oct 8, 2015 3,058 0 113 Spencer MA, USA Aug 24, 2016 #15 Oh yeah, one other thing about the SB2000 that I really like over the SB1000 is the grille. Of course it has nothing to do with sound, but instead of the cloth covering the SB1000, the SB2000 has a perforated steel grille that's absolutely indestructible. Tested by my wife with her assault vacuum cleaner and claws of our 3 cats, it's deemed worthy! Last edited: Aug 24, 2016 Reactions: Diesel57
