uicjeff Audiophyte Jul 5, 2020 9 0 1 Jul 19, 2020 #1 Looking to incrementally improve the sound in my home theater room (Semi-Annual upgraditis.) I have about a $3K budget. Was originally looking to add power amps but the advice I got was to rethink about it and look at my speakers. Media room and System description below. I'm now thinking about replacing my subwoofers with either: 2 SVS PB 3000s or 2 SVS SB 3000s I considered several others brands, but I like the SVS App, the design and the configurability. I also have 24 inches under my under my screen so I have some size limitations. Two questions so far: I'm leaning towards the ported subs due to the size of my room anyone's thoughts on the pros/cons of this? Any ideas on how to measure the difference this would make? Room EQ? Thoughts? Other ideas? Thanks, Jeff My Current 7.2.4 System Main speakers: Klipsch RP-280F FLOORSTANDING SPEAKERS Center: Klipsch RP-440C Side Surrounds: Klipsch RP 250S Back Surrounds: Klipsch Reference Premiere RP-600M Subwoofers(2): Klipsch R-10SW Height channels (4): SVS - Prime Elevation (Ceiling mounted) Receiver: Denon AVR-X4400H Separate amplifier (For Front Heights): Russound P75 2-Channel Dual Source 75w Amplifier Projector: Sony VPL-VW285es Screen: Screen Innovations 7 Series Fixed - Black Diamond Fixed Frame Screen 120" Sources: Sony UPB-x700 Blu-ray player, Xbox one, Playstation 4, Roku Ultra, FireTV 4K, Sega Genesis and a Chromecast Ultra.

S shadyJ Speaker of the House Staff member Oct 16, 2006 12,053 0 113 Jul 19, 2020 #3 Definitely get the PB-3000s instead of the SB-3000s. SB-3000s are great subs but they are intended for spaces with strict size limitations. Monoprice Monolith THX 12" Ultra is also worth considering here, it is just under 24" height. You can also turn subs on their side if you have something soft to put them on so the finish doesn't get scuffed. That will open up options from Hsu Research and Outlaw Audio not to mention the Monolith THX 15" Ultra. A pair of any of those subs would put your Klipsch subs to shame. Reactions: Pogre and uicjeff

I've spoken to Tom helluva nice guy he does well with his company My only weakness with his company is there are not a lot of reviews of his subs or measurements if he has measurements I apologize I could never find any That's a little bit of a dampened my enthusiasm So to speak because some measurements do help you decide if the sub is good for your room size a lot of high performing subs from different ID companies sound a lot alike due to there excellent quality So it's a lot about output extension room size midbass things like that how far can each sub go on the criteria you need in your room He's a good guy call him up Those PB 3000's will rock your room and the app and ability to really dial in the sub to maximize performance all from your phone is super convenient Reactions: uicjeff
