SB17-Ultra R|Evolution - Black Oak - Outlet

I bought two SB17 Ultras and they are amazing! Even right out of the box with the factory settings they play extremely well. I'm impressed with the new DSP. These subs do a fantastic job preventing you from pushing them beyond their limits. And believe me those limits are extremely high. I played some music tracks geared towards bass testing and it shook the entire house. Also played actual music across different genres and the listening experience was quite enjoyable. I backed the volume down to -10db to not drown out the vocals and other frequencies from my main speakers. Depending on how bass heavy the tracks are I'd say anywhere from -8 to -12 db is probably the sweet spot. For movies (still with a flat eq) it was a night and day change. I have the Polk R700s which have some decent bass for front tower speakers but there's a whole low end of the spectrum I was still missing. Blade Runner 2049 was extremely bass heavy right from the start. Had to dial it down to -15db to keep my house shaking. After that I decided to get the Dirac Bass Control license and recalibrate. I was already using Dirac so it made sense for me. Post calibration it really dialed the subs in nicely and turned the flutter of bass into a more tightly controlled purposeful punch at the right moments. Oh I should probably mention I have an open concept floor plan with 10ft ceilings so while the R5000 was enticing I spoke with the SVS customer service and they recommended I go with the SB17 Ultras to…

I had a very good experience with SVS. I first purchased two SB-1000 pro placed then side by side up front flanking my EMOTIVA Xt2 towers and wow! Very good speakers and very good phone app. Not even pairing to the app was required. Punchy and go low to their proportionate size and power. I was so impressed that I wanted to upgrade to two SB17 ULTRAs. Nancy at SVS handled the upgrade with free returns of the SB1000s very efficiently. Now as a bass-head I can truly say WOW x2.!! Again the app works effortlessly and these SB17 rock! They are quick and go low.! They bring out so much detail in the lower register but also make my mains work more efficiently and have now MORE detail ! They are very heavy. 124 lbs. Glad I also purchased their ISOLATION FEET to get my hands underneath to adjust. I highly recommend using SVS ! Just do it. You won’t be disappointed. I cannot say anything negative about SVS. Thank you SVS. ( do you sell T-shirts,btw) Happy listening to all !

I've bought subwoofers from SVS as far back as 2001. Customer service is second to none. I've always been satisfied with every sub I have bought. I've also tried other brands over the years and some of them were pretty good. I recently purchased a pair of SB 17 Ultra subwoofers. And to say they are impressive is an understatement. The impact and clarity of the subwoofers is the best I've experienced in my home in my 30 years of home theater audio listening. These subwoofers make their presence known whether at low volume or high volume. They dig deep when they need to and provide excellent bass slam for home theater and music. I am extremely happy with my purchase and would give them my highest recommendation!
