Press Reviews

“Excellent output and deep extension but also great balance and extremely detailed bass. Both can play music and movies and you’ll have an enjoyable experience regardless. And while there are advantages to each subwoofer, the impressive designs deliver the best of both ported and sealed world’s with both models.”

“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.”

“Soul-shattering bass. Absolutely outstanding, it completely changed my movie-watching experience. Build quality is flawless and they are massive in sound. They output they delivered is more than anything I ever expected and there’s no reason for me to go to the cinema ever again.”

“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.”

“A powerful sub for the most demanding audience. Can hit extreme volume levels and deep bass with absolute precision and the dynamics make you feel every note you’re supposed to. A perfectly functioning proprietary control application ensures easy adjustment, including the selection of frequency range characteristics. An ideal subwoofer for those looking for intense and adrenaline fueling experiences.”

“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.”

“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.”

"An easy-to-use smartphone app can be used to conveniently set all parameters from the listening position. In the laboratory test, SB-2000 Pro reaches lower limit frequencies of fabulous 18 Hertz with enormous output levels. 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.”

"Packs a massive punch. Its 800-watt power plant and special driver allow it a long throw with very linear excursion so it can move an unexpectedly large amount of air comparable to that of 15” subwoofers in our testing. We found the 3000 Series to be a near-perfect marriage of manageable size, agreeable appearance, and serious performance."

"The bass I heard from this small box, unassuming yet nice to look at, bordered on the difficult to believe -- very fast, very tight, very deep, with more than enough output to fill my 15’L x 12’W x 8’H room with sound-pressure levels that would satisfy all but the most demanding bass heads."
