SVS - PB16-Ultra Subwoofer - Gloss Piano Black

Best subwoofer for surround sound!! Sophisticated look in piano black.

I had a Polk Audio sub that faithfully served me for years, and a few months ago it decided that enough was enough and poof - dead. I replaced it with what I thought was an excellent sub - the Definitive Technology SuperCube 4000. That sub was nice for what it was, good bass in a small package. However when I watched Wonder Woman 1984 at the bass level I wanted - it couldn't make it to the 1.25 hour mark without cutting out badly. Believe me, when you spend $$$ you don't want to be disappointed but that's what I was - disappointed. So - returned it and bought the SVS PB4000. Really, this subwoofer has no equal. To compare it to the Def Tech SC4000 would be like comparing a candle to a flame thrower. It's not just the endless bass, but it's the depth of the bass (13hz response) and the power behind it. If you are looking for the best and don't want to spend money and feel disappointed - buy this. I have high demands on my Home Theater system and this completely satisfied my bass requirements. Only 'negative' is the physical size (and weight I suppose), but even though it weighs nearly 200lbs it can easily be moved. It's finding a place that it blends in with that can be challenging...and it can look like a mini refrigerator but if you remove the front grille that eliminates that 'problem' if you think it looks like another appliance. Overall, super satisfied and can't wait to watch other new movies on this beast. It's definitely not inexpensive, but often times you really get what you pay for. And when you buy this and it arrives, you won't think for a second that your money was wasted.

Smooth as silk with more power and authority than I imagined. It’s sitting in a large open area with 3 joining rooms and a 22’ ceiling. It still had to more than enough power. Calibration resulted in a 22 db decrease. You can still hear and feel the bass with No flutter. Wonderful
