  • High Def Digest Reviews the SB-4000 Subwoofer

    "An exceptional subwoofer capable of producing incredibly clean and powerful bass. The SB-4000 can really bring the thunder…slammed me with impressive impact…just about shook the walls of my house apart and equally adept with music as it is with car crashes and rocket blasts. It can reproduce deep cello notes with crisp clarity just as well as it can deliver an earth-shaking explosion. Highly Recommended to anyone looking for a high-end subwoofer without an exorbitant boutique price tag."

  • PC-4000 Subwoofer Earns HomeCinemaChoice “Recommended” Award

    “It can rattle your house with room-filling low-frequency energy, delivering bass notes that you feel in your stomach…Plenty of low-end extension here, but a surprising degree of subtlety. As a result, I found it to be extremely nimble. The sub can harness its considerable power and release it with speed and precision. And considering the state-of-the-art subwoofery inside, it isn’t that expensive either.”

  • SB-4000 and PB-4000 Subwoofers Receive Heimkino's Reference Class Award

    "The SB-4000 subwoofer convinces with a crisp, precise reproduction of lowest frequencies. For the ultimate pressure in the diaphragm, the PB-4000 is particularly suitable, because it provides even greater dynamic range and maximum low frequency extension...With the new 4000 Series subwoofers, SVS once again hit a home run. Both models offer maximum low-bass performance at reference-class level."

  • Reference Home Theater Reviews the SB-4000 Subwoofer

    "The SB-4000 does exactly what I want in a sub: make my speakers sound like they play down to 20Hz without any effort or strain by completely disappearing. It offers the same level of impact that I’ve heard at live concerts…and it has helped me discover how much deep bass I was missing from everything. A wonderful sub and highly recommended."

  • PB-4000 Subwoofer Review by Home Theater Review

    "A sub with brute force that also performs so nimbly and even gently when the source material calls for it. I found myself so viscerally impressed by the PB-4000’s low-frequency output that I kept cranking up the volume to see which of us (me or the sub) would cry uncle first. In the end, I lost. SVS has another undeniable winner on its hands here—one that outperforms its predecessor while delivering improved aesthetics at a cheaper sticker price. I could not give it a heartier recommendation."

  • CNET Reviews the SB-4000 Subwoofer

    "The SB-4000's bass was deep and powerful, bass transients were quick, and there was no thickening or bloat. Impact and dynamics were visceral. It enlarged the soundstage. A reference-grade subwoofer that doesn't merely dish out room-rattling home theater effects, it's also very musical. I’ve never heard bass like this in the CNET listening room! I highly recommend it."
