  • Audioholics Names PB-2000 Pro 2020 Best Powered Subwoofer Under $1,000

    “The SVS PB-2000 Pro keeps the superlative low-distortion and extension that SVS is known or while dramatically improving mid-bass headroom. That alone would have been worth the cost increase, but SVS also adds in their app control which comes with a three-band parametric equalizer, as well as support for a sealed operating mode. SVS finds their usual optimal balance between performance, features, industrial design, not to mention their gold-standard setting post-purchase support. SVS also has another superbly well-rounded product in the PB-2000 Pro.”

  • AV Nirvana Reviews the PB-2000 Pro Subwoofer

    “A deep digging and articulate subwoofer that punches far above what it’s modest price would suggest. Unassuming and relatively compact for the performance levels it delivers. When playing in duals, the room seemed to pressurize, and a literal feeling of momentary breathlessness came over me. The Black Ash vinyl veneer has a real-wood appearance that lends a premium look and feel to the subwoofer. Easy to install and integrate using the downloadable SVS Smartphone App.”

  • HiFi+ Honors SB-2000 Pro with “2020 Subwoofer of the Year”

    “The bass depth shows just how good a modern subwoofer can be. While depth, weight and authority used to be audiophile code for boomy and overpowering, on the SB-2000 Pro, it holds no double meaning. It really shows how far subwoofers have come for both home cinema and HiFi.”
  • AV Forums Names PC-2000 Pro Editor’s Choice “2020 Best Subwoofer Solution”

    “The ideal solution to a specific Home AV problem: getting deep bass when you have limited space. This cylindrical subwoofer produces the depth of the PB-2000 Pro combined with the smaller footprint and nimble delivery of the SB-2000 Pro. It’s very flexible in terms of positioning, so you can simply stick it in the corner where it will take up very little space. However, it’s not just practical, it's also extremely good, and is capable of delivering deep and distortion-free bass with a surprising degree of subtlety."

  • SB-2000 Pro Subwoofer Receives Stereoplay Outstanding Award

    “The US subwoofer specialist achieves maximum performance through technology taken from its reference 16-Ultra series. SVS focused upgrades from the previous 2000 Series models entirely on the sound. Savings measures were implemented so carefully and with expertise that the essential aspects of performance are convincing even beyond the acoustic performance, including control and versatility.”

  • HiFi (Netherlands) Reviews the PC-2000 Pro Subwoofer

    “Fierce but not overwhelming. It filled the room with even and controlled bass. You get the full impact and you also get those ultra-low tones. Generating earthquakes in films is no problem, but it can also be subtle for stereo music lovers.”

  • PB-2000 Pro Subwoofer Receives Audioholics' Bassaholic Award

    “It possesses both the sound quality and quantity that can handle a large-scale exercise in heightened realism. This is punch-in-the-chest level bass. The basslines produced by the PB-2000 Pro were so thick that you could cut them with a knife. The weight of the bass that this sub could produce seemed implausible for its size, and I checked to see if I had accidentally left another subwoofer on; I hadn’t.”

  • Heimkino Names 2000 Pro Series "Outstanding Product"

    “Both woofers in the laboratory test easily reach lower limit frequencies of fabulous 18 Hertz with enormous output levels, whereby the ported cabinet PB-2000 Pro brings a little more dynamic reserves and thrust. The strengths of the sealed SB-2000 Pro lie more in its crisp, pinpoint accurate playing style. For a price of around 1,000 euros, both models offer first-class sound, extremely deep playback and plenty of level reserves. ”
  • Sound & Vision Names SB-2000 Pro as "Top Pick" for Subwoofers

    “Just as proficient at pumping out huge explosions in action movies as it is playing in a two-channel audiophile setup. Tight, articulate bass that starts and stops on a dime, it expanded the size of the soundstage in a dramatic way that sonically transported me. Highly Recommended.”

  • EISA Names SB-2000 Pro "Best Home Theater Subwoofer"

    “SVS has taken innovations from its larger, pricier models and built them into this new compact subwoofer. Offering a high level of performance at an affordable price, the SB-2000 Pro partners its custom 12in bass driver with a 500W ‘Sledge DSP’ amplifier, and becomes the entry-point for SVS’s app-based parametric EQ and control system. And while the sealed cabinet may be ‘small’, its performance is anything but – this is a polished performer that unearths both the nuance and scale of movie soundmixes, delivering dramatic, deep bass while simultaneously remaining controlled and speedy.”
  • Audio Magazine (Germany) Reviews the SB-2000 Pro Subwoofer

    “Brands that always deliver top results and deliver real excitement are usually aloof and expensive. In this respect, SVS has a very special position with its subwoofers. The new SB-2000 Pro succeeds in lowering the price threshold and dropping jaws again. It blended in perfectly without a long set-up. The bass didn't just increase, but suddenly went deep into the cellar and seemed a lot crisper. Hard to believe what extra kick this relatively small subwoofer with large boxes produces."
