SVS SB2000 Subwoofer Black Ash

I am using KEF Reference 3 speakers (fitted with the long ports) which themselves have well-extended bass response and a total lack of boxy or honking colorations - and I speak as a past owner of Quad ESL 57s. However, my listening room is small and there is limited choice of speaker location, and although I get excellent imaging I have always felt the speakers weren't pulling their weight in the bass department. I was attracted to the SVS SB2000 subwoofer because of its reasonable price and excellent reviews: definitely worth a try, even though I rather expected problems with integration and, in the small room, disappointing extension.Because the KEFs are level down to at worst 50 Hz, I set the subwoofer cut-off frequency to that, its lowest setting. I placed the unit in one corner of the room, where it would have the best chance. I was pleased to find that at no time is there evidence of the presence of the subwoofer in the sense of sounds coming from that place in the room, and on programme material with normal bass content, such as most classical music, the subwoofer can be switched in and out without any perceptible change to the sound. But as soon as something out of the ordinary arrives in the music, it's there, and goes way below the 32 Hz (16 foot pedal C) that I'd hoped to reach. I had a lot of fun playing the opening 10 minutes of the otherwise dreadful movie Transformers, but the most breathtaking example I've come across is the Decca/Montreal/Dutoit recording of Respighi's Pines of Rome, fourth movement. Halfway through the movement I had always been conscious of something bassy happening, perhaps a bass drum being played softly. With the subwoofer, suddenly the room filled with a gorgeous felt-rather-than-heard organ pedal note that I had no idea would be there.During normal listening I am conscious of the subwoofer only occasionally, and always in sense of hearing something agreeable and knowing that the main speakers on their own probably aren't responsible. Apart from that, the subwoofer is just an anonymous black box in the corner.

Very good price, very quick delivery. Replaced my old 200w ported 8inch subwoofer.Didn’t want to go 12inch ported as they were generally too big for a “wife friendly” placement. I am not disappointed! Wow very powerful and low enough to feel. Great for my medium sized living room and only set to 30% on the gain.

Awesome purchase, would recommend this to anyone who is into subwoofers. It delivers sound bass as well as it looks..

Great sub!!!Amazing bass!!! I had a choice dali E 12For svs sb 2000. Dali goes down to 28hz and has 170 watt while svs has 500 watt of sheer power and goes down to 19hz. Great for music and movies.

Deep, tight bass. Perfect replacement for an old Velodyne that died.

Boom boom boom boom

If your after a Sub look no further, agreed certainly not the cheapes but you do get what you pay for. I have paired this with a Canton Sound Base and this has taken the sound quality with the deep base to another level coupled with a five year warranty with postage paid both ways. If you were a complete anorak and wanted to upgrade at a later date SVS will part exchange the speaker for what you originally paid against the new speaker you are buying.
