SVS continues its tradition of providing more than ample bass for your buck, this time in a relatively compact subwoofer accompanied by a useful setup and control app.
I was unprepared for the fun I had reviewing this subwoofer. Coupled with both the ESL-989s and LS50s, twin SB-3000s delivered solid bass down to 16Hz in my small listening room—I still don't quite believe it—without bloat or overload.

The SVS SB-3000 is a great subwoofer, period. I like many things about this subwoofer.

On dozens of tracks, I switched the SVS SB-3000s in and out and found no evidence of these unfounded audiophile clichés.

Run, do not walk, to your nearest keyboard or device and order one of these babies.

The SVS SB-3000 has changed my expectation of what can be accomplished in a subwoofer for about $1k, and was the perfect complement to my Quad S-5.

The bottom line is that both the SB-3000 and PB-3000 sound great
