SVS box vs cylinders

[sweeppicker]

Just wondering what peoples thoughts are on the two. The cubes are much less of an eyesore. However, it appears the cylinders have more volume and perhaps greater output ?

In their respective price ranges, they are quite similar. Output may be a bit higher for the cylinders for the prices for certain models, but not everyone likes the look of a cylinder. Which are you looking at in particular?

THe SVS website has an FAQ that addresses this exact question. Basically, you get more for your money with the cylinders, but a lot of people prefer the boxes.

Hi Sweep,

Like the responses above...the answer sort of depends on which models you are considering. For example, the PB12-isd sort of bridges the small gap between the 20-39PCi and the 25-31PCi as fas as extension and clean output capability goes. The larger 16-46PCi would extend much deeper than the PB12-isd...but you'll lose some headroom(maximum clean output capability) >20hz too.
