After several months of exhaustive research on subwoofers, I finally made a decision.
But before I made a purchase I decided to travel to the facility and examine their shop and team.
SVS's facility is located in northern Ohio. I was very impressed a clean facility with lots of room. The team's pride in their product was very evident. I was able to watch a quality check of 20 subs getting ready for shipment. They were checking for leaks and abnormalities in performance..really moving each sub through a wide range of frequencies.
The operations manager also provided an excellent demonstration in their theater...I was blown away. SVS specializes in subs but they also manufacture a full line of speakers....not bad at all. But the bass was simply impressive. So I purchased one.
Most important to note THIS IS A BIG SUB! Be prepared to sacrifice some space. But it is well worth it. This sub truly goes subsonic it can rattle pictures off the wall while you can barely hear it. I was looking for a sub that went well under 20Hz and it clearly does it well.
It has a great menu of tweaks that is easy to operate. The sub also comes with foam plugs to tune the sub to the desired frequency including completing sealing the ports. This is an outstanding sub the really performs..I cant say enough great things about it. The cabinet, the wood, the grill (magnetic), the tweaks this sub has it all (except a remote).
If you have the money and the space BUY ONE you wont regret it.
