SVS - SB-2000 Pro Subwoofer - Gloss Piano Black

This is the first SVS subwoofer that I’ve heard or owned. Initially I wanted to buy the sb3000 but it breaks the $1k price point and size I was looking for in my space. Decided to go with this one in piano gloss finish. Upon delivery and setup, I was very impressed with the finish and look of the subwoofer. I hooked it up and initially was NOT impressed with its sound...very underwhelming. I went through all the setting and played with them to see how it effected the sound to my liking..reversing polarity made a huge difference, lower crossover to 60hz and backing the db to -20 made it disappear within my stereo. Once I got it dialed in...I started hearing bass in music I didn’t even know was there. A good demo is Bad Blood by Taylor Swift, has some of the deepest bass and transitions I’ve heard, you can feel the bass and rippling effect of the low frequencies without any bloating or boom, it’s awesome. I really like the app control for quick tweaks to accommodate the material being played. What makes this model so great to me is the size, the price just under $1k and app control. If I was a movie buff I’d go with the ported version, but since I am strictly playing music, I wanted the tightest, quickest response, this sub delivers.

This sub really shines with music and is very competent at home theater. My room is small 22x16 so the 2000 pro is perfect. Sounds great watching all the 4K trailers on Apple TV. Especially the Transformer movies, MI movies and Gardians & X-men movies. My room rumbles distortion free. Blows away the Bose Lifestyle top of line. In fact different universe. As a musician I have very specific musical tastes. Here’s where 2000 Pro shines bright. Very clear powerful and precise. Diana Krall vocals never sound so deep and rich. King Crimson 3 drummer setup sounds like the drummers are in my living room and the clarity of Stanley Clarks bass on Romantic Warrior is stunning. Oh can’t forget the richness of John Myung bass and the power of Portnoys drums. To wrap this up if you listen to music absolutely get non ported sub for clarity punch and crispness if you love movies as well the pro 2000 is perfect , if you have a big space get the 3000 or 4000. If you watch MORE movies than music I’d probably get the SP version (ported). One thing for sure SVS subs are built incredibly well and sound amazing. I haven’t mentioned the APP which is seamless and works perfectly. If the app doesn’t connect for some reason just delete it and reinstall it works great and you adjust the settings from your listening position rather than getting up all the time to make adjustments. This sub really pound for pound beats subs costing twice as much! Also customer service is insane ! They engage they respond and stick by their products unconditionally!

This subwoofer hits lows great! Purchased this for a 4 speakers stereo in-ceiling speaker in a 23x15x8 room. Before buying it, I was considering the the SB3000 but I’m glad i went with the SB2000 Pro. This sub fills the entire room at default settings at low-normal volumes. If you are looking for a sub for a room of this size this is the one.
