SVS - PB-1000 Pro Subwoofer - Black Ash

I purchased 2 of these to go in my basement theater. They compliment my bowers and Wilkins 600 anniversary edition 5.2.4 surround sound well. I have these on the iso feet which help significantly with vibrations but that is not what this review is about. These have plenty of power to fill my 16x30x7.5 room at half gain. They are tight, agile and sound big! Movies: These dig deep! They dip to frequencies below the human ears range which can make for cool effects. During movies with earthquakes the audio engineers will sometimes throw in really low frequencies that make your room shake with no perceived sound - these can handle that!!! Music: These are pretty quick and tight. They are not as tight as their sister, the sb1000 pro, but they are no slouch. I have not tried them in sealed mode but I don’t think it’s totally necessary as I’m 90% movies/TV. App/features: Use the app! Download REW, buy a microphone and dial these in! The difference is huge. SUMMARY: Nothing out there will touch the quality with the features of the pb1000 pro at this price point. I challenge anyone to find something that has the tech and sound under $600. It doesn’t exist. I do wish these came in different colors. That is the only room for improvement I see.

I added this piece to the ensemble in my Cave, assuming tgat it would be portable lol. I lookedcat the Hsu also, which was considerably weightier. The PB1000 Pro works with my Denon AVR 4700 in a (currently) 9.1 config, carrying the heavy weight for a pastiche of integrated pieces which include Dali Oberon 5s, vintage phase Tech 7Ts (surrounds), and Rockville and Polk sats (height). I have about 52 sq meters of kind of L-shaped drywalled basement space with 8-foot ceilings except for the large cold air return on the left side of the smaller leg, hence the smaller sats. The original plan was to have the sub double for outside movie night (I bought an ELAC 1225 for that). I spoke with our friends about the relatve size of the PB1000 for the room and was confident it could handle it. It did. Nicely. It wasnt the least expensive option, but any misgivings I may have had were quickly assuaged by the quality of its performance and the versatility of the app. I am a a fidgeter by nature and enjoy cinema and a variety of musical genres. The value of the app, along with the Denon apo for should not be underestimated. My Cave is not an audiophile listening room, but I was able to develop a pretty good sound that fills the room without annoyance. I am very plaesd with the SVS. We watched the action movie "Nobody" with Bob Odenkirk the other night, and the audio was supreme. I actually heard myself giggling at at the quality of the sound all around me. All clear, all detailed, and all enjoyable. The SVS PB1000 Pro did not disappoint. I would make the sme choice again if presented with the opportunity. Mike S.

★★★★★ Amazing Bass — Great Upgrade for My Home Theater I bought the SVS PB-1000 Pro from Best Buy, and I’m extremely happy with it. The bass is deep, powerful, and clean, especially when watching movies. It adds a completely different level of impact to explosions, action scenes, and low-frequency effects without sounding muddy. It also works very well with my home theater setup. After getting it properly adjusted, the bass blends nicely with the other speakers and makes the entire system feel much more immersive. The PB-1000 Pro is a big upgrade and definitely worth the money. I’m very impressed with the performance and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a powerful subwoofer for a home theater. 5 stars!

This subwoofer has been incredible over the last month. It's clear sound and deep bass are very enjoyable across music to action movies. The bass packs a heavy punch and at times can rattled the gutters outside. Do yourself a favor, and possibly a disservice to your neighbors and buy this. Paired with Klipsch RP towers, etc...

First want to say that this subwoofer is perfect for movies and music. The app is incredible and easy to use. I paired this up with a Denon receiver and Martin Logan 40i speakers, with a 9.1 setup with atmos. This sub is just spot on with its ability to keep up with anything, music or movies. Very natural sounding and with no buzzing or other noises that hear out of some other brands. I would definitely buy again and looking forward to going back to get another one for a 9.2 setup. SVS makes a superb product!
