@@keepingupwiththejones2933 SB-3000 is beastly played X-Ambassadors Boom, Outcast Speaker Box and Dr. Dre. Wanted the SB-16, but wife didn't approve of the size, so the 3000 will suffice. Buying a second next pay. 👌😏
SB no question, much more impactful and tight giving a more realistic sound to things like gun shots or car crashes, it also goes deep enough in most rooms.
Hi, it's a nice video. Going through the comments, I understand that the sound demo is not quite the correct demo as it is difficult to record in home setup. Therefore, I was hoping that the video talks about the differences, if any . Reading the heading of the video and listening through the videos, the only information I got is - Pb 3000 has bigger size than SB 3000 and has more output. Nothing else. Please do not consider this as I m bashing the video. Just a constructive feedback. The video tells me more differences between pb 4000 and pb 3000 than what the title is supposed to cover.
Hey thanks buddy :) I just ordered another subwoofer and more speakers. If you read the article you know what im heading towards. You just know before everyone else :)
Yeah, I caught that. What processor are you planning to go with once they arrive? Or that will be a huge unveiling in a future video? I have plans for a designated theatre room in the not too distant future. I’m planning on building an attached room solely for this purpose, as well as taking a stab at building my own speakers, subs, screen, etc. Your videos have given me many great ideas and determination to get er done. Keep doing what you’re doing, we appreciate it. 😊
slightly. the dual edge wound voice coil makes the 3000 extremely efficient and it really makes it sound louder and more powerful than one would expect from a 800 watt subwoofer
oh, SPL is measured at 1 meter. When I did crank it up contests I noticed a SPL increase further from the speaker, not directly in front of it. I think testing at 1 meter would be good also to compare to what the specs say. That Klipsch R12SW I asked about lists 116db as max SPL vs much lower for these much larger/powerful beasts. Since Effecietcy is tested at 1w/1m I would think all SPL tests are also at 1 meter. Great video. Wish I had the money for any of these. I LOVE those dual 10" Klipsch towers. I bet they sound incredible in person. ( hard to really tell in the video even with Sennheiser HD595 cans )
SPL is also measured in an anaechoic chamber. I will have room gain, so I tried getting the mic as close to source as possible. Either ways its not ideal, but I just wanted to be fair in between the two
@@ThatHomeTheaterDude As long as all tests are done the same way, I guess it doesn't matter. Testing it at 1 meter and comparing to the spec sheet would be cool just to see how close it is, room gain or not.
im just figuring out which Sub i should buy.SB-2000pro, PB-2000pro or a SB-3000. im only considering the SB-Version because of its size. i have a Living room 15ft wide. 20 feet Long. while the left wall is more or less open to a dining room. the sub is going to be on the right back corner. with the SBs my concerns are that they may dont give enough "wrooom" and "earthquake" to the room. im mainly watching movies. anybody suggestions?
I’m currently demoing both the sb3000 and Pb3000 and the PB3000 just blows it out of the water. I ran audessy with both each time I demoed and watched the same movies and kept them both at -12db volume level and the PB just shakes your soul. It moves my theater seats lol. The Pb is the one I’ll keep.
If you had to choose between dual PB-2000's or Dual SB-3000 which way would you lean? My space is around 3000 cubic feet but opens up to a large space with vaulted ceilings. Thanks.
Always go ported and larger sizes for larger spaces in general. I had a sealed sub once and it didn't have nearly the output of my ported one despite even having a more powerful amp.
Thanks for the replies, just curious, at what point would a sealed sub become a better option? Obviously an SB-3000 might not out perform a ported version even one with 300 watts RMS less than it's sealed counterpart but clearly a JL Fathom would undoubtedly outpace most ported sub due to a great driver and a massive internal amplifier. Now, I realize I compared a $4k plus sub to an $800 budget sub but mostly to illustrate an idea that at some point a more powerfully amplified design would have more output assuming it is of good quality and sufficient size driver. So, in a long way I'm wondering at what break point of more amplification would a similarly sized driver of equal quality in a sealed configuration exceed the output of a ported version? Twice as much power? 3 times? 5 times? I'm in no way trying to be argumentative but I'm curious about your thoughts as there's no fast and hard rule. Thanks again, have a great day.
Hey home theater dude, just picked up my 1st Svs PB 4000!!!! All I can say is AWESOME!! Had to turn it down it was knocking of pictures and shampoo bottles upstairs in both bathrooms lol. Do you think the isolation pads would help out with that?
I don't think there is a need, considering that the Elevations are already voice matched to the Ultras anyway. Plus their purpose as height/Atmos speakers wouldn't really warrant the quality and price upgrade, they already do a great job as they are for their purpose. 😉 Ps. I've been considering the same switch. I just wish SVS would swap Klipsch speakers for SVS upgrades, and let me pay the difference... 😂
All right! I would think they are making ultra heights and ultra pinnacles, but only time will tell. They should be dropping some info on us soon. they come out with a product every year
Here in Australia we are being ripped off badly compared to the US. For example, the SB-3000, in AUD they should be no more than $1100 when compared to the US. The list is $2999 and the general price in the shop is $2800. So I would like to buy if prices were reasonable - but I will not be buying because I know I am being robbed. They would probably sell tons more of them if they treated buyers with respect.
So I have a couple old JBL 12" subs that were lacking. They have 250 watt maps built in. Well one of those camps failed so I bought an iNuke 3k with dsp to power both of them. What a difference more power and dsp tuning can make. So... when thinking about upgrading subs, consider tuning and power as an option.
@@GTGrabber Hey, that's alright, it happens to everyone eventually, thanks to that crazy spell corrector/checker on our phones. A lot of times it changes the words that we wanted to use, that would have been right all along.
What do you think about the Klipsch R-12SWi sub ? I have a 2002 Onkyo TS-DX676 85w/ch receiver ( around 200w peak though, 38 Lb beast ) and Klipsch speakers for mains and surround. My room is 20x30ft. I would think the 200w rms would match up with the 85w/ch of the Onkyo pretty close. I listen at reference level on the Receiver. It would be hard wired not wireless but that model is on sale for $229 and appears a big step up from the $150 ish subs I was looking at.( 10" with 50-100w ) Adorama has them on sale, retail is $549.
@@ThatHomeTheaterDude I hooked my 25w/ch old Rotel amp to a Apline Type R 12" sub in sealed box last night. Don't know the amp output at 2 ohms but it did ok with the Car sub Crossed over at 70 hz. Way more bass ( and could feel it ) than the Klipsch tower speakers produce. Not as much as a Dolby Cert. Theater but not bad. I may see about getting a AudioSource 150w mono amp to drive it at 8 ohm. ( dual voice coil 4 ohm each ) I found one used for $90 or the newer model new for 139. I just don't have the funds for anything over 200 and that is pushing it. The sub I suggested I could get on my Adorama card with no interest for 6 months. I would love to have a SVS Sub but they are way out of my price range. I don't go to the movies ( can't afford it ) I borrow the dvd from friends/family after it gets released to dvd/BR.
I am trying two SB-3000’s but I’m wondering if one PB-3000 would do the job to save money. My room size is 528 square feet. Let me know your thoughts... Ty!!
I just received my sb-3000 and I love it so far,what do you recommend setting the low pass crossover on the sub at,I have it hooked up to my jbl partybox 300..I know its not an ideal setup but it's all I have to work with
good I would like to know your opinion I have a pb-1000 svs and I want more bass, add another pb-1000 or buy a pb-2000pro or then at most pb-3000 and congratulations on the videos
Hi dude...which one you prefer for movie?? Sealed or ported?? Early I mentioned you that am searching a good sub for my newly built home theater and I prefer pb2000. What is your opinion??
Great video! My budget ($1000 max) would be for a sb-3000 or a pb-2000 pro sealed vs ported. Setting it up as 2.1 with Dali opticon 6 floorstanding speakers. Audio is tv/movies/Xbox 1 and most important to me the music. Any suggestions?
Man pleease little help svs gives Sb3000 second hand 900 euro and i wanna ask you im watching only movies i have to take sb3000 or to make more money to take pb3000? For better cinematic sound to give punch on a chest i want take the best please little help🙏🙏🙏🙏
none. I use large and lfe +mains. If i were doing more efficient rated speakers i would do 10-20hz over lowest rated bandwith so for a 45 hz - 25K hz speaker i would set x over at 60.
@@ThatHomeTheaterDude What to You mean by "more efficient rate". RF7 are already very efficient. How could be more? I'm going to use no crossover for RP-8000f as well.
how big difference is there between the SB-3000 and the SB-4000 in bass quality/depth/boom/responsiveness/clearness. Do I lose much if I buy the SB-3000 instead of the SB-4000 or is there a huge difference?
Nice taking your time doing this great review. Thank you. Please could having one pb3000 plus sb3000 inside a single listening space makes sense hence they're more or less the same family? Could they work together using the one svs' app or would sound outputs interfere with each other because of sealed vs ported?
Don’t know why he didn’t respond to you but both speakers will work great together. for me I like the ported subs they hit deeper and harder when it comes to gaming and movies, music sounds nice to from ported subs but the sealed subwoofer works great with music but they also work pretty good with movies and gaming as well but they don’t hit as hard or go as deep as the pord it sub Having two or more subs in your living space would be awesome it would be incredible
Monolith 15 vs PB3000 vs PB4000 vs PB16. Only reason why is because it's cheaper than any of those 3 svs subs and it's within the PB16 performance range. 😉 Would be a good shootout, No?
I'm looking to buy a sealed sub but have no experience with them till now. Only ported subs. Is there any information available anywhere where someone OBJECTIVELY describes the sound difference between a sealed and ported subwoofer? I live in a place where I cannot demo so I have to rely on reviews.
svs themselves have a video on ported vs sealed. But to describe it in my own words (as i have a klipsch r-12sw - Ported and a svs sb-2000 - sealed, playing together ) sealed sub will have more accuracy and less boom-iness, the bass is much tighter which is why alot of people say they are better for music. But sealed sub will lose db's in that sub 30hz range. This is where the ported sub is the king, as it will outperform a sealed sub with the same wattage x2 - x4 times (depending on the brand) in audible volume. As i mentioned i have both subs playing together and i had to reduce the volume on my 200w ported klipsch sub quite a bit to match the sealed 500w svs. I set them up in a way that ported sub supplements the sealed box for movies but does not overwhelm it and ruin the music. I think ported sub is better for movies (and good for music, but not as good as sealed), but it is a bit harder to setup and position due to the port (plus my klipsch has a port at the back so it is harder to position, so i do love svs ported subs with front facing ports), while the sealed sub is easier to position. And the obvious thing is the size. Ported sub will usually be alot bigger. So if the size matters to you, then sealed definitely wins in that regard. All in all there are quite a few videos on YT abot it, but i hope my personal oppinion and experience helps.
@@Weecka2007 Thankyou. Yes it helps a lot. I've heard that due to the lack of boominess and overhang, sealed subs might sound thinner than ported, almost like large midbass drivers. I have only listened to ported subwoofers all my life. I have the KEF LS50 Wireless and I'm using my ... drumroll ... Logitech Z5500 subwoofer with them temporarily 😂. And it's not so bad. Due to the frankly anemic lower bass response of the LS50s any properly crossed over subwoofer improves the overall sound (I like lots of bass, punch, chest slam with my music) So if I'm quite happy with that I guess an SB3000 will be better than that in every way.
@@sfh2110 if you are mainly using it for music, then sb will be better in my opinion. And they are very good for movies. My sb-2000 shakes the whole room very well and fills it with deep bass with some help from r-12sw klipsch. I used it on it's own and it is a real joy to listen. I used to have z-5500 myself a few years ago and while the base on it is quite descent (for what it is), almost any good brand sub will outperform it. I remember i used to have the port facing the corner and it did have descent bass, though not the most accurate. Plus It's not like sealed sub doesn't have any boom-iness. As every room has different characteristics, once you find a spot it can sound just as boomy, or close to, a ported sub. My suggestion would be to go to a specialized shop and listen yourself. BUT you will not regret whether you buy a good ported or a good sealed sub, especially from svs.
I am floored lol.... Four monster subs running at once is insanity and I approve 👍😂.... Really looking forward to that pb-4000 vs pb3000 comparison, I'm actually thinking about upgrading from my dual pc2000's and I'm considering the pb-4000, the pc4000 or the pb3000. That upcoming video would really be a big help..... I know I'm expecting the pb3000 to have incredible output but I'm also thinking that the 4000 series would have more headroom. Anyways.... Cant wait 😊
@@edwardsanchez3708 awesome dude,thats a great looking system you have there ... I had the chance to get two Def tech sc8000 subs but opted for the two pc2000's. All my other speakers a Def tech and I'm more than sure the subs would've been good also but I heard about the low end of the svs subs and now I can truly say I understand the hype behind them.
@@Agent-fg9ol that was 2011 I have only upgraded and added since then. More has been done for audio in the last 12 years than 30 years before that. Exciting time for us :) My next subs will be svs
Hey Dude, why do you seem to have the entire SVS sub collection in your room (besides some other SVS speakers in the background to go along with the Klipsch speakers).? You purchased these..?
Every speaker in this room i have paid for cash. Klipsch could not send out a review unit so I had to but these flagship speakers to do this review. It was a hefty price, but they were great performers
Hey I just wanted to share this with you real quick.. Don't know if you considered upgrading your outlets? I just bought a "Hubbell IG5362 Duplex Receptacle".. Trying to solve my hum/buzz issue.. It didn't, but this is the best $35 iv spent on my HT.. This outlet (and Im sure there are even better ones) made a massive difference in clarity! Most music would distort at about 90 percent volume.. Now I can listen to all my music at max volume distortion free!! Honestly I'm almost as happy with the new outlet as I was going from avr power to the outlaws.. Give it a try man.. You'll thank me later!!
Also, I know this comment has nothing to do with your video...(which is awesome) I'm just stoked on the new outlet and wanted to share with you because I understand your passion for HT.. This difference in changing my outlet is what I was expecting from the Panamax 5400 I recently bought (which I noticed little to no difference in SQ.) Boggles my mind how an outlet could make a difference like it did! Maybe it's mainly because my house/outlets are older but I feel like its well worth your time looking into and trying out an upgraded outlet.. 😀😀😀😀
@@ThatHomeTheaterDude I don't, Im going to do more research myself. After my first hand experience with this one I'm now not opposed to spending good money on a higher rated option.I only bought one looking to fix my hum/buzz problem, and since noticing the orange colored outlets in hospital rooms have always been curious.. I googled "audiophile outlets" read a few pages and landed on this one based on price,search results, and reviews..
Also I noticed my panamax says I'm drawing 3-5 amps less now at max volume then before.. Used to draw 11-12 now I haven't seen to go over 9. Also .1 amp less with everything off. Weird I know
It seems like a lot of you guys ask questions to the guy in the video but he hasn’t responded let me just add a little bit more that this video left out Sealed and poured it subwoofers from svs is the best when it comes to impactful bass in movies games and music if you want something weaker check a Lbrands When it come to sealed subwoofers they are really nice specially if you have a small room and you’re trying to get bass sound in a small room and you listen to a lot of music it it has a quick response when it comes to a lot of music but don’t get me wrong they sound good when it comes to movies and games as well Most sealed subwoofers are small as well so you can fit them into small areas especially if you don’t want them to be seen. However if you wanna get punched in a chest smacked in the face kick in the jaw the ported sub woofer is the way to go by SVS. The ported subwoofers are just incredible they go deep and they hit hard if you can get one of those in your entertainment system you got a masterpiece if you can get two of them you got the perfect sound in your living space and after you hear just how awesome they sound you will not settle for less you will not give them up A lot of these TH-cam reviewers try to let us hear what the speakers sound like in order for us to hear how they sound you need headphones the better your headphones the better you will be able to hear the bass sound and frequencies
@@ThatHomeTheaterDude That would be awesome!! Is it crazy thinking so many people, myself included, look forward to your videos and get so excited when an alert pops up that you posted a new video? It must be wild.
Hey HTD, I am wondering if this channel is always going to be a running ad for SVS or are you planning to branch out and feature more brands? SVS is okay for what it is, but it's getting kinda boring just watching you hype everything SVS makes. Thanks.
@@keepingupwiththejones2933 lol probably a JTR fan 😅 these svs subs will blow any JTR subs any day. It might take 4 pb16 to match the output of the ULF4000, but it still wouldn't be as cool as the PB16. This is why SVS is BEST in the world!!!
@@Voltis-5 probably the two people who were hating on SVS subwoofers don't even own subwoofers LOL they watch movies on their laptop with the sound turned up really loud LOL

You measured sub output with the mic like what, 3 inches away from the driver? Then say the comparison isn't accurate? Why don't you tell us water is wet btw. Ever heard of 2 meter ground plane measurements?
have you ever heard of room gain? Speaker outputs are measured in anaechoic chambers. So either way this was done it will be different than advertised.

Hey Theater Dude who won the Klipsch Subwoofer give away?!
Hasn't been picked yet, needs 14,000more views
Might be time to be inventive and put that video on a loop 🌀
hahah. Do it buddy :)
should I get 2 sb1000's or just 1 sb3000?
You should also try reviewing some HSU subs. I just bought the HSU VTF-2 MK5 and that thing damn near tore the frames off my walls lol.
Dirk504 yes he should. I have the VTF-2 MK5 as well and it’s a beast!
I would if they sent me some to review. I'll reach out to them
So I have a couple old JBL 12" subs that were lacking. They have 250 watt maps built in. Well one of those camps failed so I bought an iNuke 3k with dsp to power both of them. What a difference more power and dsp tuning can make. So... when thinking about upgrading subs, consider tuning and power as an option.
Maps and camps? Very interesting.
@@bobby1970 LOL... maps and camps = AMPS Not sure how I managed to get that typo 2 different ways in the same post.
@@GTGrabber Hey, that's alright, it happens to everyone eventually, thanks to that crazy spell corrector/checker on our phones. A lot of times it changes the words that we wanted to use, that would have been right all along.
Great video! I've only used sealed subs every now and then in car audio application's but that SB-3000 hits!
What were you playing for the demo?
dark night in 4k the Hong Kong scene
Great video bro like always. Wondering why do u like SVS so much more then Klipsch for subs? Keep the vids coming bro 👊.
Performance ELI, Thats why. The SVS gives that murderous thunder like very few other brands can deliver
@@ThatHomeTheaterDude I really need to hear some SVS in person. I heard some dual 12" Klipsch I thought were great. Thanks for getting back bro.
Great video as usual bud, which one would you suggest for a smaller room. Keep up the great work.
What do you think about the Klipsch R-12SWi sub ? I have a 2002 Onkyo TS-DX676 85w/ch receiver ( around 200w peak though, 38 Lb beast ) and Klipsch speakers for mains and surround. My room is 20x30ft. I would think the 200w rms would match up with the 85w/ch of the Onkyo pretty close. I listen at reference level on the Receiver. It would be hard wired not wireless but that model is on sale for $229 and appears a big step up from the $150 ish subs I was looking at.( 10" with 50-100w ) Adorama has them on sale, retail is $549.
for that room size i would go with a much bigger sub.
@@ThatHomeTheaterDude I hooked my 25w/ch old Rotel amp to a Apline Type R 12" sub in sealed box last night. Don't know the amp output at 2 ohms but it did ok with the Car sub Crossed over at 70 hz. Way more bass ( and could feel it ) than the Klipsch tower speakers produce. Not as much as a Dolby Cert. Theater but not bad. I may see about getting a AudioSource 150w mono amp to drive it at 8 ohm. ( dual voice coil 4 ohm each ) I found one used for $90 or the newer model new for 139. I just don't have the funds for anything over 200 and that is pushing it. The sub I suggested I could get on my Adorama card with no interest for 6 months. I would love to have a SVS Sub but they are way out of my price range. I don't go to the movies ( can't afford it ) I borrow the dvd from friends/family after it gets released to dvd/BR.
I am trying two SB-3000’s but I’m wondering if one PB-3000 would do the job to save money. My room size is 528 square feet. Let me know your thoughts... Ty!!
ported is my choice
Awesome demo, sorry that I am kind of late to the party! Those are some mighty machines. I really love your demo videos!
Thanks buddy. It was fun to make the video
I just received my sb-3000 and I love it so far,what do you recommend setting the low pass crossover on the sub at,I have it hooked up to my jbl partybox 300..I know its not an ideal setup but it's all I have to work with
Your thoughts on the B.I.C. America PL-200 II subwoofer? Not everyone has SVS money although we know they are premium speakers and subs.
good I would like to know your opinion I have a pb-1000 svs and I want more bass, add another pb-1000 or buy a pb-2000pro or then at most pb-3000 and congratulations on the videos
go bigger. the 1000s/ 2000s are great but you wont outgrow the 3000 anytime soon
Hi dude...which one you prefer for movie?? Sealed or ported?? Early I mentioned you that am searching a good sub for my newly built home theater and I prefer pb2000. What is your opinion??
ported is what i like the most
Pb 2000 or pb 3000??
Great video! My budget ($1000 max) would be for a sb-3000 or a pb-2000 pro sealed vs ported. Setting it up as 2.1 with Dali opticon 6 floorstanding speakers. Audio is tv/movies/Xbox 1 and most important to me the music. Any suggestions?
id get the sb-3000 and be done w it. its a serious piece of machinery
Man pleease little help svs gives Sb3000 second hand 900 euro and i wanna ask you im watching only movies i have to take sb3000 or to make more money to take pb3000? For better cinematic sound to give punch on a chest i want take the best please little help🙏🙏🙏🙏
Quick question.
What is your crossover setting for the towers?
none. I use large and lfe +mains. If i were doing more efficient rated speakers i would do 10-20hz over lowest rated bandwith so for a 45 hz - 25K hz speaker i would set x over at 60.
@@ThatHomeTheaterDude What to You mean by "more efficient rate". RF7 are already very efficient. How could be more?
I'm going to use no crossover for RP-8000f as well.
how big difference is there between the SB-3000 and the SB-4000 in bass quality/depth/boom/responsiveness/clearness. Do I lose much if I buy the SB-3000 instead of the SB-4000 or is there a huge difference?
You wont miss a ton. but the 4000 do dig deep
I feel everything behind you is worth more than my house...pretty jealous.
Nice taking your time doing this great review. Thank you. Please could having one pb3000 plus sb3000 inside a single listening space makes sense hence they're more or less the same family? Could they work together using the one svs' app or would sound outputs interfere with each other because of sealed vs ported?
Don’t know why he didn’t respond to you but both speakers will work great together. for me I like the ported subs they hit deeper and harder when it comes to gaming and movies, music sounds nice to from ported subs but the sealed subwoofer works great with music but they also work pretty good with movies and gaming as well but they don’t hit as hard or go as deep as the pord it sub
Having two or more subs in your living space would be awesome it would be incredible
@@alambe7275 mix a port and sealed subwoofer is a bad idea.
Everyone says it.
@@santiagoezquerrocordon1470 I don’t roll with everyone and what everyone thinks. Only what sounds awesome for my set up..
Totally off topic...What brand shirt is that?
I think its the Perry Ellis? I have to double check. I dont shop many other places than that though
Monolith 15 vs PB3000 vs PB4000 vs PB16.
Only reason why is because it's cheaper than any of those 3 svs subs and it's within the PB16 performance range. 😉 Would be a good shootout, No?
I'm looking to buy a sealed sub but have no experience with them till now. Only ported subs. Is there any information available anywhere where someone OBJECTIVELY describes the sound difference between a sealed and ported subwoofer? I live in a place where I cannot demo so I have to rely on reviews.
Cool man. I'll try to get that done for you guys
svs themselves have a video on ported vs sealed. But to describe it in my own words (as i have a klipsch r-12sw - Ported and a svs sb-2000 - sealed, playing together ) sealed sub will have more accuracy and less boom-iness, the bass is much tighter which is why alot of people say they are better for music. But sealed sub will lose db's in that sub 30hz range. This is where the ported sub is the king, as it will outperform a sealed sub with the same wattage x2 - x4 times (depending on the brand) in audible volume. As i mentioned i have both subs playing together and i had to reduce the volume on my 200w ported klipsch sub quite a bit to match the sealed 500w svs. I set them up in a way that ported sub supplements the sealed box for movies but does not overwhelm it and ruin the music. I think ported sub is better for movies (and good for music, but not as good as sealed), but it is a bit harder to setup and position due to the port (plus my klipsch has a port at the back so it is harder to position, so i do love svs ported subs with front facing ports), while the sealed sub is easier to position. And the obvious thing is the size. Ported sub will usually be alot bigger. So if the size matters to you, then sealed definitely wins in that regard. All in all there are quite a few videos on YT abot it, but i hope my personal oppinion and experience helps.
@@Weecka2007 Thankyou. Yes it helps a lot. I've heard that due to the lack of boominess and overhang, sealed subs might sound thinner than ported, almost like large midbass drivers. I have only listened to ported subwoofers all my life. I have the KEF LS50 Wireless and I'm using my ... drumroll ... Logitech Z5500 subwoofer with them temporarily 😂. And it's not so bad. Due to the frankly anemic lower bass response of the LS50s any properly crossed over subwoofer improves the overall sound (I like lots of bass, punch, chest slam with my music) So if I'm quite happy with that I guess an SB3000 will be better than that in every way.
@@sfh2110 if you are mainly using it for music, then sb will be better in my opinion. And they are very good for movies. My sb-2000 shakes the whole room very well and fills it with deep bass with some help from r-12sw klipsch. I used it on it's own and it is a real joy to listen. I used to have z-5500 myself a few years ago and while the base on it is quite descent (for what it is), almost any good brand sub will outperform it. I remember i used to have the port facing the corner and it did have descent bass, though not the most accurate.
Plus It's not like sealed sub doesn't have any boom-iness. As every room has different characteristics, once you find a spot it can sound just as boomy, or close to, a ported sub. My suggestion would be to go to a specialized shop and listen yourself. BUT you will not regret whether you buy a good ported or a good sealed sub, especially from svs.
Ahhh the neighbors must really love you 😂. Great video like ways ✌
I am floored lol.... Four monster subs running at once is insanity and I approve 👍😂.... Really looking forward to that pb-4000 vs pb3000 comparison, I'm actually thinking about upgrading from my dual pc2000's and I'm considering the pb-4000, the pc4000 or the pb3000. That upcoming video would really be a big help..... I know I'm expecting the pb3000 to have incredible output but I'm also thinking that the 4000 series would have more headroom. Anyways.... Cant wait 😊

I've been running 9.4 since 2011. I want to hear the svs PB3000 though
lets find out :)
@@edwardsanchez3708 awesome dude,thats a great looking system you have there ... I had the chance to get two Def tech sc8000 subs but opted for the two pc2000's. All my other speakers a Def tech and I'm more than sure the subs would've been good also but I heard about the low end of the svs subs and now I can truly say I understand the hype behind them.
@@Agent-fg9ol that was 2011 I have only upgraded and added since then. More has been done for audio in the last 12 years than 30 years before that. Exciting time for us :)
My next subs will be svs
That many subs operating at the same time in your living room would be the equivalent of a major earthquake.
They are beautiful, i don't know how much they may cost in south Africa here
3 likes, one dislike? It looks like you have a jealous competitor. Great video!
yeah what gives?
@@ThatHomeTheaterDude well all that's saying is that your on the right track! Keep it up man!
One of those would fit perfectly behind my dedicated theater for extra bass.
Phew I'm glad it's your beard on the mic noise thought it was my new Klipsch RP-504C centre speaker crapping out.
these subs moves
Wow 😱🔊 boom,boom!!! Great video 😎👍
I had to turn my 5mm turtle beaches on bass boost, I can't imagine how good they must sound on your end! Do more like these!!!
You got it homes. I filmed the 3000 vs the 4000 today... it was alot of the same fashion
P > S for HT , maybe a "That Music Dude" would disagree.
Never met him. Probably a cool dude though
@@ThatHomeTheaterDude yeah, meant to say ported over sealed, doh!
Super Demo brother
Hey Dude, why do you seem to have the entire SVS sub collection in your room (besides some other SVS speakers in the background to go along with the Klipsch speakers).? You purchased these..?
Every speaker in this room i have paid for cash. Klipsch could not send out a review unit so I had to but these flagship speakers to do this review. It was a hefty price, but they were great performers
Will be interesting to see how the PB-3000 compares to the PB-4000 to the left ;)
Great review 👍🏻
Hey I just wanted to share this with you real quick.. Don't know if you considered upgrading your outlets? I just bought a "Hubbell IG5362 Duplex Receptacle".. Trying to solve my hum/buzz issue.. It didn't, but this is the best $35 iv spent on my HT.. This outlet (and Im sure there are even better ones) made a massive difference in clarity! Most music would distort at about 90 percent volume.. Now I can listen to all my music at max volume distortion free!! Honestly I'm almost as happy with the new outlet as I was going from avr power to the outlaws.. Give it a try man.. You'll thank me later!!
Also, I know this comment has nothing to do with your video...(which is awesome) I'm just stoked on the new outlet and wanted to share with you because I understand your passion for HT.. This difference in changing my outlet is what I was expecting from the Panamax 5400 I recently bought (which I noticed little to no difference in SQ.) Boggles my mind how an outlet could make a difference like it did! Maybe it's mainly because my house/outlets are older but I feel like its well worth your time looking into and trying out an upgraded outlet.. 😀😀😀😀
Do you know why the hubbel is better? I get that it is. I just want to know the why
@@ThatHomeTheaterDude I don't, Im going to do more research myself. After my first hand experience with this one I'm now not opposed to spending good money on a higher rated option.I only bought one looking to fix my hum/buzz problem, and since noticing the orange colored outlets in hospital rooms have always been curious.. I googled "audiophile outlets" read a few pages and landed on this one based on price,search results, and reviews..
I will do more in depth research and let you know the technical side of it... I just thought you should consider it. 😀
Also I noticed my panamax says I'm drawing 3-5 amps less now at max volume then before.. Used to draw 11-12 now I haven't seen to go over 9. Also .1 amp less with everything off. Weird I know
It seems like a lot of you guys ask questions to the guy in the video but he hasn’t responded let me just add a little bit more that this video left out
Sealed and poured it subwoofers from svs is the best when it comes to impactful bass in movies games and music if you want something weaker check a Lbrands
When it come to sealed subwoofers they are really nice specially if you have a small room and you’re trying to get bass sound in a small room and you listen to a lot of music it it has a quick response when it comes to a lot of music but don’t get me wrong they sound good when it comes to movies and games as well
Most sealed subwoofers are small as well so you can fit them into small areas especially if you don’t want them to be seen. However if you wanna get punched in a chest smacked in the face kick in the jaw the ported sub woofer is the way to go by SVS. The ported subwoofers are just incredible they go deep and they hit hard if you can get one of those in your entertainment system you got a masterpiece if you can get two of them you got the perfect sound in your living space and after you hear just how awesome they sound you will not settle for less you will not give them up A lot of these TH-cam reviewers try to let us hear what the speakers sound like in order for us to hear how they sound you need headphones the better your headphones the better you will be able to hear the bass sound and frequencies
you mad bro?
Out of all that I said, I got it wrong Sealed subwoofers. Oh awesome.
Thunder even on a beautiful day if you live near HTD.
The beard rubbing on the mic was crazy.
Svs are the cahoonas man. They are room vibrators and my room would really love one.
Earthquake alert at 1:30!! The camera was shaking.
You noticed :)
Toe to Toe.? Wow thats a banging sub @_@
Dam, thanks for the nice vid
Eu sou apaixonado por aparelho de som eu vou comprar um desse para mim
Can you please move your microphone down the beard scratching is annoying as hell other than that the video is pretty cool
Beard scratching the mic. Otherwise.. good video.
Cant win them all
Super bass
4 subs at once... no blood noses???
nope. not yet
what up subs for subs?? I think that beard is trying to get some extra mic time!
Fasho
When is the giveaway for the 3000? LOL.
Maybe i can work something out with the SVS guys. They have been a part of the channel since 3000 subscribers. Im at almost 22k now :)
@@ThatHomeTheaterDude That would be awesome!! Is it crazy thinking so many people, myself included, look forward to your videos and get so excited when an alert pops up that you posted a new video? It must be wild.
Do you even have neighbors!?!
Aqui no Brasil da não tem esse aparelho de som se não ia comprar um para mim
The static in this video was worse than fingers on a chalkboard. Unwatchable
super
wow, in this video you answered next to nothing.
Dude, lower your mic
Lindo
Hey HTD, I am wondering if this channel is always going to be a running ad for SVS or are you planning to branch out and feature more brands? SVS is okay for what it is, but it's getting kinda boring just watching you hype everything SVS makes. Thanks.
They all do it...every TH-cam reviewer wets their pants about SVS. Its at the point where i just tune out and delete the video now.
SVS HATERS. BOO. What do you have as a subwoofer? I am guessing you are Seaton fanboys.
@@keepingupwiththejones2933 lol probably a JTR fan 😅 these svs subs will blow any JTR subs any day. It might take 4 pb16 to match the output of the ULF4000, but it still wouldn't be as cool as the PB16. This is why SVS is BEST in the world!!!
@@Voltis-5 probably the two people who were hating on SVS subwoofers don't even own subwoofers LOL they watch movies on their laptop with the sound turned up really loud LOL
@@keepingupwiththejones2933 say whaaa? I have subs bro. All svs too! I love SVS subs! And yes, I do like watching movies on my laptop with the ultra towers! It sounds so real it's awesome!
You measured sub output with the mic like what, 3 inches away from the driver? Then say the comparison isn't accurate? Why don't you tell us water is wet btw.
Ever heard of 2 meter ground plane measurements?
have you ever heard of room gain? Speaker outputs are measured in anaechoic chambers. So either way this was done it will be different than advertised.
@@ThatHomeTheaterDude wow no shit Sherlock! What was the point of mentioning numbers then? Putting the mic right up against the driver, trying to show that you sit a foot away from the subs or something?
