SVS PB1000 Pro

[Isosevodes]

I’m looking to upgrade my entry level Klipsch R12SW to a great sub in the sub $1000 range. All of my research points me to the SVS PB 1000 Pro. Great reviews, great specs and currently $799. Am I looking in the right direction? Are there any clearly better options out there that I should consider? This novice, budding audiophile thanks you in advance!

I am not sure I woudl go so far as to say that it is better performing. The Speedwoofer 12S has more output below 25Hz, and the PB-1000 Pro has more output above 25Hz. The 12s is a deeper digging sub but the PB-1000 Pro is a punchier sub. Some people will be happier with the former, some people will be happier with the latter.

That is such good advice. It is marketers again. MY F3 is lower than your F3. This nonsense has caused the use of extended bass alignments and that on the whole is a BAD thing. The reason is that it gives you less output above F3 as the fall off starts higher. In addition the ass quality is poorer.

I very, very seldom design a sub using an extended bass alignment. That is not the way to go. Can I just say one more time that I have a visceral dislike of marketers.
