Thanks for the kind words.
Exactly what I was thinking. A great presentation.
knowledge seriously! he needs to go read at the svs site a bit before spreading fud.the rca outputs on this are not i repete NOT.for daisy chaining more subs.the pb and sb 1000 rca outputs are filtered to above 80hz.
I just wanted to drop in and say your voice is as smooth as butter.
😀 thanks
Haha also my first thought. Would kill for a voice like that 😅

“And honestly I prefer that a little bit. I’d rather push into holes”
I bought a $500 Klipsch subwoofer back in 2006. I had never heard of the brand but the salesperson raved about them so I jumped. Well, about 3 years later, it completely died. I took it in for repair and they said the amp was dead and it wouldn't be worth fixing. Therefore, I'll never buy another Klipsch product. 3 years is ridiculous and I didn't even use it that much. I actually just bought this SVS sub. I'd like to add one more feature not mentioned. Customer service. I have called SVS twice already. I've never experienced such incredible service. The woman was incredibly knowledgeable. In fact, I was telling her about problems I've had with my new Denon receiver. She pulled up the manual for it and was helping me with my receiver. She knew more about it than the Denon reps. knew! I don't know about you, but I am willing to pay more knowing I'm getting a 5 YEAR guarantee and access to service like that. By the way, Denon has been a disaster to deal with. No more Denon for me. Horrible service.
Nice to hear the difference with something other than "BOOM" music.
😁😁
I get your point but if your music doesn't have information below 60 hz, there is no point. "Boom" music has information to utilize a subwoofer. I get organs "can play down to 20 hz" but a good ole' sine wave @ 150db is pretty fun.
One company releases frequency response graphs next to their products. The other doesn't.
@@user-xh9lz2hj4e How is that relevant to the OP? O_o
zachary short how is a comment about frequency responses relatable to “nice to hear the difference”..you’re trolling right?
I've just bought the PB 1000 on clearance. Great deal and sound good for films. In a 2000cuft room I'd say you really need two to feel the bass.
In a 1200cuft room, do you think i will have enough with 1 PB-1000 to feel the bass? I'm currently using 2 Klipsch RP-7000F's without a subwoofer....
I bought a SVS after watching this video and all I can say is thank you!
I’m glad you’re enjoying! 😁😁 Don’t forget to subscribe and share the videos.
Another excellent review. Helped me to make up my mind on what sub to get. Also love how you alway bring out the positive qualities in a piece of equipment you may not particularly choose. You've gained another fan.
That's awesome! Thanks for watching!
Would love a comparison between the Klipsch SPL 120 and the SVS PB 1000
Why?not the same size drivers
@@shaundavidssd but the same price.
A succeeding series "1000 Pro" has been released by SVS, now with adjustable DSP by smartphone app. I wouldn't buy Klipsch SPLs any longer. It's not worth the ~150 bucks saved. You get both inferior technology and cabinet design vulnerable to chuffle and resonances when choosing Klipsch.
@pickyaudiophile9898 now for 100$ more than the svs sb-1000 pro, you get the SPL-150.
Sure you cannot configure it from a smartphone, but for the few times you need to change the settings, it's more of a gadget
sound quality starts at 7:15
Thank you
Thanks fam.
🙌
Never
Thank you
Loved the video thinking between the two myself really nice to see a down to earth unbiased review big thumbs up 👍
I have the SVS PB-1000 and it's amazing.. I bought if from the SVS outlet and I paid $399 for it instead of the $499.. it's one of the most impressive subwoofers I've heard for under $500 and I highly recommend it
Thanks for sharing
Wow One of the most pleasant introductions to a video I have ever watched. Great guy !
Wow, thanks!
This man is the home theater mvp love his content and his real life side by side reviews
Wow!! Thank you!
@@HomeTheaterHobbyist thank you
I am a klipsch fan but even I know that SVS is gonna win this lol
SVS is always king when it comes to subwoofers
I'm trying to decide on a second sub for the theater I built since the DefTech ProSub1000 is very disappointing. I can get the Klipsch SPL-120 for about 460 from Direct Buy. Do you think I'll be happy with it or is there a comparable SVS that is better? Yeah, I know I'll be paying more for SVS.
If you’re still in the market..... I haven’t tried it but take a look at the PB-2000 Pro.
Those SVS sub's are hard to beat when looking at manufactured subs... Very good information and review man
Thanks!
SVS is the king of high quality sounding subwoofers. No comparison to the time and effort put into them.
Well, according to what I've read (listening experiences) the Rythmik subwoofers seem to be very interesting and are supposed to sound even better than SVS and most other subs!
Unfortunately the shipping to my country is very expensive and also it's risky due to potential failure. But man, do I want to hear those things badly.
Yup. In this case and any other model they make it isn’t fair for Klipsch. I use and love their RP bookshelf’s and towers though.
the klipsch looks similar to the speedwoofer 10s. but i think the speedwoofer is the better option at $399 and more powerful vs the klipsch 10. great comparison though! 👌👍
I've auditioned the Klipsch R112sw, RSL speed woofer 10s, and the PB1000, the Klipsch could not keep up with the PB1000 or 10s, musical the 10s sounded best, the PB1000 dug deeper and was stellar on movies, musical it digs deeper than both the Klipsch and 10s, so I settled on 2 PB1000's and have been pleased for almost 3 years, no regrets!!
Nice! They are all great subs with their own merits. I’m glad you were able to try them all out and decide which you preferred most. That’s definitely the best way to make this decision. When it’s time to upgrade again will you stick SVS or try something new?
I have a r112sw and am debating if I should return it and go with the RSL Speedwoofer mk2. The speedwoofer beats the r112 across the board on specs but my hold up is that it’s a smaller 10” driver.
How would you compare the output of the original Speedwoofer to the r112sw?
I bought the Klipsch and returned it. The design did not work for me. The square shaped box and corners are really really sharp and I have a 1 year old boy who walks around the living room. way too dangerous specially for toddlers. No thanks. I got the pb2000. Super happy. Nice review.
PB2000 is a great sub! I have little ones to so I understand, enjoy!
Your voice is pure velvet. If I fall asleep it's definitely not your content , I love your channel.
Thank you! 😄
It's a joy to listen to you mate.
Good job! Keep it going
Thanks 🙏🏾
Probably never have a money 💰 buying a both star war but still watching this video... SVS is a my dream subwoofer
Thanks for watching, hopefully you'll get one!
SVS PB-1000 sounds better and black fits with everything for me.Thanks for this video.
I had a hard time deciding which one to get and didn't want to discriminate so I ended up buying both of them.
NICE!! 🤣🤣
we've got the pb-1000 on display at my best buy store. one of, if not the, best subwoofer for the price. Like the you said in the beginning, one is a speaker company's subwoofer, and the other is a subwoofer company's subwoofer. granted, we also have the SVS prime pinnacle floor standing tower speakers on display matched with the pb-1000. The matching aesthetics look great, however a subwoofer company's speakers arent the best for the money. for the same price as the SVS prime pinnacles (or a little more) I would choose the B&W 603 Floor standing towers.
Anyway, THE PB-1000 IS FANTASTIC FOR A $499 SUB
It’s nice you can hear / see them at your local Best Buy that is better than what most of us can do.
One of the best evaluations on TH-cam. Nice.
Thank you
Don't forget the Svs (optional) soundpaths. (Big rubber feet) They do a lot ! I've got two svs sb-2000's... I love them, my neighbours don't...
Good point!
Great review. I think SVS pb1000 will be better for me and that much power. Nicely explained.
Thanks, the pb1000 is a great choice.
I didn't know what a "good" sub sounded like till I got the PB-1000. The magic is in the frequency curve. Its not a curve, its a straight line! Its rated down to 19hz and has a deep authorative sound that you feel as much as hear. What I realized after using this sub was that previous subs were just making a lot of noise at specific frequencies. With the PB-1000 you feel and hear a much more natural presentation of the music / sound effects, depending on your use case. I have a couple other 12" subs that don't even compare. Also of note, I've seen other reviews that found spending $1000 for a pair of PB-1000s gave a better listening experience than a single $1000 sub.
SVS' RCA output has a 80hz high pass filter - it's for connecting stereo speakers. You cannot connect dual subs this way.
thats pretty cool!!
Youre wrong. You know what line level means or no.
Andrew is correct. The outputs are 80hz HIGHPASS, which removes the bass going back to an amp to drive small speakers. Which is kind of a cool feature. “Line-Level” only refers to the connection type, which many call “RCA”. The manual is available at SVS if you want to check it. Ultimately, this will not work to drive another sub, since it filters any bass below 80hz on these outputs.
Would love to see a comparison of the SVS PB 1000 vs Klipsch 12hg Synergy series 12-inch 300-watt sub.
Still the SVS would win. Now has phone app so you can tune it in and turn it down. 325RMS up to 820+ watts.
@@ENGBriseB 325 up to 820+ how would that even work? Sounds impossible, I'd have to see it too believe it..
Have you tried a Klipsch SPL-120? Just curious if it is better than the R-112SW and how it might stand up to the PB-1000. I do know Klipsch put a better amplifier in the SPL line.
I have 2 R-112SW's and they are awesome for the money($399 each) vs $1000 for a pair of the SVS PB-1000 and 12 vs 10 inch subs.
@@jimidrammer4187 heard they have a ton of amp problems tho..how long have u had them
@@mikedavis9554 2 years and still doing fine.
I purchased dual RSL speedwoofers 10" big time punch!
Nice!!!!!! Glad you like them!
When I lived in an apartment I was on the third floor and my subwoofer was located in the corner. The woman from the first floor came and knocked on my door and complained about it.
Wow! What sub did you have?
shorty33 % that was good subwoofer then 😎👍
@@HomeTheaterHobbyist it was a velodyne
I kind of had that happen to me but it was from the moaning sound of a old female friend of mine. I had her moaning at 135db.
@@docjohnson3980 Call of the day Sir!!!
Thank you so much for that demonstration. I became a subscriber because of it. I could definitely tell the difference between the woofers listening to them on my Klipsch R-51PM wireless speakers, that are less than a week old.
Nice 👍🏾! Thanks for subscribing and commenting!
the svs doesn't shake as hard as the klipsch . We notice a difference . Nice vid man !!
That's because the Klipsch has a softer surround resulting in sloppier bass while the SVS has tighter bass.
@@HomeTheatre101 the spider is doing the dampening, the surround not so much
trust me when it's real low frequency you would be surprised the svs is on a different level cheap subs amps are design to sound powerful than they really is buy rolls off real quick while subs like svs climbs where the klipsch gonna start to roll off at
The Klipsch was louder but boomie on my sub and it only goes down to 25hz
my sub that is
This is an outstanding review and comparison. Thank you for your time and effort.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Your voice is so calming...
SVS so much better than Klipsch, if worried about space buy sealed box instead of ported. I have 2 SB1000s and love them, so much better than my old Klipsch's. I also upgraded my L/R/C with Martin Logan XTs, highly recommend them.
Buy the sealed box is a good recommendation, I haven't tried it but I'm sure it can hold it's own. Thanks for commenting.
The Klipsch seemed like it was having some mechanical noise or other resonance it shouldn't. It probably had a higher tuning frequency than the SVS, which let's it be a little louder given the size for most music, but it just can't dig as deep. SVS all the way.
I noticed that as well, wasn't sure if it was related to my cheaper 8" HK sub or if there was some oscillation in response of the Klipsch. It wasn't present in the SVS.
On the SVS- The outputs are 80hz HIGHPASS, which removes the bass going back to an amp to drive small speakers. Which is kind of a cool feature. Ultimately, these line level outputs will not work to drive another sub, since it filters any bass below 80hz.
Love the copper color. But need clarity for music.
I have the klipsch...its amazing and the bass blew me away. Even in this video it is louder and more impressive. For music, games, movies it picked up bass notes I didnt even know where there before.
Exactly opposite lol
boomy bass don't be tricked one note sub
Yoh should review the klipsch RP 1000 and 1200 and 1600 subwoofers
Almost everyone is on the svs bandwagon
I bought the 15 klipsch spl 150 on black friday for $500. Blows both of these out of the water.
That's a great deal!
Great channel mate, really really liking your content.
Just a heads up, you made a mistake at 9:35 I think you meant to say SVS but instead said Klipsch which made that bit slightly confusing but think it makes sense !
Yes that was a mistake, thanks 😊
I believe the SVC's have a better reaction time for movie watching, but the Klipsch are better with music. But really it all boils down to preference. Nice video. Thank you for taking the time.
Thanks 🙏🏾
SVS definitely sounds cleaner and less distorted
thanks!
No lie i use CT Sounds 2 12" subs. They're made for cars but they bump harder then home subs. Only cost me about $200
Wow thank you for this video I have the klipsch subwoofers as well in both rooms and I was just wondering just how good they compare to other subwoofers and it’s like no one is doing it until I found your video. The svs A lot cleaner in stapled in this comparison and it sounds like the svs volume could be turned up just a little bit more just to see if it continue to stay smooth and sturdy in its sound output
Can u do a review of the xtz 12.17 edge
sub also.
Enjoying your review thank you for your concise and thorough comparisons!
Thank you for the kind words and you’re welcome!
Hey really nice comparison! The SPL-100 is my first sub, so it’s nice to know it can hang with the PB-1000. I just picked up the SVS wireless sub kit; how has your experience been with it so far?
The wireless kit has worked flawlessly for me. Thanks for commenting
Thank you 🙏🏼 great help on making my choice. SVS for me 😁🔊 How does it compare with the new Polk 12’ HTS
That’s a great question, I haven’t tried the Polk so I can’t say.
Great video but the volume of the background music is a little much. Not hating whatsoever just trying to help a fellow TH-camr lol.
Thanks!
@@HomeTheaterHobbyist Preference, I hate dead air. I think it fits well. You do you man!
Thanks!
This was such a pleasure to watch! I really like the laid back, mellow but definitely informative nature of it. Subd (pun intended hah) !
😁 thank you 🙏🏾!
Yes! I'll go for SVS!
I read klipsch has rattle on the inside with how wires are tapes near voice coils. Guy said he sprayed wd40 all over and fixed it. Other con I read some have amp failure within 2 weeks but its hit and miss
I bought the klipsch and is a good sub but I would have gone with the SVS if not in Europe is so much more expensive, klipsch cost me €500 shipped but svs was going to cost me over €800 which was a no brainer for me to go with the klipsch. I will add an other sub in the future and will be an svs cos I can hear that flair port sometimes on the klipsch and it annoyed me. Great video . Thanks
I agree €300 is a lot! Hopefully SVS can align the European price more closely to the American price.
In the UK, I got 2 SVS PB1000's for £450 each, the Best price I can see on the Klipsch SPL-100 is £549.
The neighbors knocked on the door after this video.
😁 Sorry 😁
2:08 Dude, your grill mounting hole is mashed.
bought the pb1000 second hand, best buy ever !!! had an everyday klipsch sub :p all my other speakers are klipsch but svs does subs better
Svs builds great subs! As good as the Klipsch is the SVS is better
@@HomeTheaterHobbyist Do you get any compensation from SVS or Klipsch? Just asking. Also, did you send the "exact" same signal to the SVS and to the Klipsch when testing? I can buy the Klipsch for 17% less than the SVS. Would that make a difference in your rating? Thanks. I enjoy your videos.
No I'm not compensated from Klipsch or SVS. I purchased the SVS because a lot of people ask how it sounds vs another 10inch subwoofer. But it's not my main sub as I said in the video. The klipsch was a review unit.
Yes I sent the same signal, put the subs in the same position and set their volume knob to 50%.
I would say if you're price sensitive/want to use that money for something else definitely go with the Klipsch it's a great sub but the SVS is better if you're budget allows. Hopefully this helps.
@@HomeTheaterHobbyist Thank you for your response. I hope you know it was just a question. If I don't care about going below 27 HZ how would you rate the two ? I do like the smaller size of the SPL-100.
Good thorough job there! I noticed a lot of subsonic cone travel with the Klipsch than the SVS, but yet the SVS is supposed to hit down to 19Hz. Could the SVS have a built in low cut filter? One thing that wastes amp power is playing frequencies the speaker can't reproduce.
Not sure on the low cut filter for the SVS but thanks for commenting!
What probably happened was they tuned the svs port and box much lower than the klipsch so it could achieve higher output without as much excursion
Hey HTH, Just subscribed to your channel. Great job on the reviews. Which 10" ported sub would you recommend for a dual set-up? RSL, Monoprice, SVS or something else? I appreciate your input. Keep up the good work! Cheers!!
Thanks for subscribing! Best all around I'd say SVS PB1000 (th-cam.com/video/QPZzdoTfrg8/w-d-xo.html). Followed by the RSL Speedwoofer 10s if you like a fun sub that plays mid bass well. But if you like really deep bass go for the Monoprice Monolith (th-cam.com/video/OSR5zcaFSnQ/w-d-xo.html). You obviously watch the comparison to the Klipsch which I also like but yea all around, go SVS PB1000.
Great video ! I have 10 by 14 ft room, planning to get Marantz SR5014 and 5 B&W CCM 663 ceiling speakers HT setup more for movies and still looking for a Sub woofer. Was leaning towards SVS PB1000 (not SB 1000 as that was too subtle for my taste when I heard in Bestbuy) but this looks bit big for my room so is there a smaller speaker in a similar price range with balanced controlled bass with the bass feel ? or am I better off just choosing PB1000 as there may not be another woofer closer to this with smaller foot print
Is the amplitude the same? Because Klipsch here is distorting the camera way more than SVS does. Seems like SVS is at least 3dB quieter and softer than Klipsch. I wish you could also test some 20-25Hz tones. I'm looking for a good sub which can produce a clean sinewave at 20Hz with reasonable 100dB +
Yes the levels are the same. I unplugged one sub then reconnected the next with all the same settings.
I have disc with 20 Hz tones and mics to record but I don't add that tone to the videos because most people don't have speakers that can replay that tone at normal listening levels. I don't want to blast people's ears with the next tone or my narration 😁.
@@HomeTheaterHobbyist Yea well... I'm sure peoples systems won't play 31.5Hz either :P Unless using headphones or quality subs of course
Another great review! From my research and experience, the best Sub Brands are in approximately this order; 1) SVS 2) Sunfire 3) HSU 4) JL 5) REL 6) Earthquake... yada. Please add to this list, correct it if it needs correction. I've not heard anything quite like the SVS 4000 series, or a few Sunfire Subs over the years... but these require stereo setups with amps at least 200 watt/channel.. to keep up and allow them to play like they can. What's the best sub you have ever heard? Cheers
Monoprice Monolith is also very good if you like deep bass. The Klipsch SPL-100 also surprised me, it was very good too!
Look into Rythmic subs.
Nope, JL is absolutely at the top, unfortunately they are really really expensive
It's so calm here...♥️
😂
I'm so glad I found this channel!
I'm happy you found it too! Welcome aboard 😂😂
@@HomeTheaterHobbyist yay
This will probably be the most popular sub comparison video on yt hahaha. However, svs never has sales. Klipsch are often found on sale for like $100 less and at that price it kicks svs’s behind
YJ yes they do. just had one not long ago.last weekend.
J Y that’s because svs doesn’t make junk
If it becomes most popular that would be great! 😁
SVS website has their outlet part of the site where you can pick up fully functioning subs with little scratches and nicks. Several times a year they have an Outlet sale which they just had over Memorial day where prices are 25 to 35% discount from new. All outlet subwoofers still carry the full five year warranty and customer satisfaction guarantee.
SVS has both outlet sales and yearly holiday sales.
I didn't hear in your review of these subwoofers which company better stands behind their products. I recently did a lot of searching for both brands because I was in the market for a subwoofer as well as stereo and AV speakers. The customers of Klipsch that had issues with their speakers were very unhappy with Klipsch's customer support. Or I should say, lack of support altogether. What I read was that Klipsch customers trying to contact the company for help were not getting help at all and often could not even reach the company for help. On the other hand, I didn't find any people having issues with SVS speakers and yet their customer service is excellent. They even give people the email address of the owner of the company and he responds very quickly. You also failed to mention the fact that the SVS subwoofer has frequency crossover and volume adjustments on the back of the subwoofer so you have further customization on the SVS. This is on top of AV configuration you can program into your AV equipment if available in your AV equipment. I bought the SVS subwoofer and I know I'll get excellent service from SVS if I ever need it. Just my 2 cents.
The SVS is also more powerful, and larger inside volume. So naturally the SVS will have a deeper richer sound. Ill take the klipsch price wise.
Thanks for watching and commenting
I'd really like to have whole stack of Klipsch. But everyone says, that SVS is better... But I don't like SPL-150's design. The problem is, that I don't like SVS 1000's and 2000's design as well... I begin to like SVS design from 3000s 🙄
I tried the Klipsch subs, but I prefer SVS.
I've used both SVS and Klipsch subwoofers and while the Klipsch subs aren't lacking they don't go as low or sound as smooth as the SVS subs. Klipsch subwoofers sound bloated in my experience while the SVS subs have a very natural frequency response.
which one will shake the room most ?
The SVS
Had an svs pc12 nsd as sounded amazing for a 12” sub. Just got a klipsch r115 sw and it’s a beast as well I feel like the svs sub did hit the lower frequencies a lot better
Thanks for commenting
I use dual SVS PB1000’s. My room is very big at about 16’x28’. These subs are very smooth, and they shake the hell out of my room. Some have told me I should have gone bigger but these little guys do the job.
Nice review I love my Klispch Reference woofer digital 10inch class AB Bash 275 watt amp top digital controls I can use an app for remote has 3 different inputs so you can run with a 2.1 music audio detachable power cord and it's front ported in the middle you have an oval bass port on bottom and port tube runs vertically to rear top middle and flares out inside the box it's pretty cool but sounds amazing on music fast clean bass it was pricey at the time SVS does make great subwoofers I just didn't want muddyness with regular Klispch sub also use audioquest power cable
Nice setup! What speakers are you using?
Home Theater Hobbyist I have only have 5 different sets right now my favorite being my redone Pioneer hpm 100s then the Klispch RP-160 m Pioneer fs52 sony Sscs3 and bose 301 debating on what to get nexted
I haven’t heard of the HPM 100 so I looked at some online 😀. How do they sound?
Home Theater Hobbyist They sound great fast accurate made from 76-79 75 pounds each carbon fiber 12 inch woofer 13 inch by today's measurements I love how it hits you in the chest at low volumes and direct mode easy to power I paid 400 just for the crossover upgrade and it made such a difference each cross over weights about 2 pounds lol even had transformers built into cross over ! but trying to find something new under 1k that sounds better in all areas I think the SVS pinnacle at 1k may be my best beat I wonder how they compare to the elac unifi towers
Home Theater Hobbyist trying to get SVS to send me either the bookshelf ultras or Tower pinnacles to review but guess they not hearing me yet owell
The Klipsch sounds like it has more output, which is clipping the mic. I'd very much expect the SVS to top out at a greater dB, so I can only assume the gain isn't set correctly on one of them.
The Klipsch has a higher output. But the SVS plays lower
the klipsch would run out of steam in a hurry subs like those have a bump in the 60 to 50 htz region that makes them sound more powerful than they are subs like those never have a 500 or more rms amp
Doesn’t Klipsch have quality issues with their built in amps?
I haven’t experienced any in my time with their products nor have I heard of widespread issues. But I’ll keep an ear out
Jimmy S thanks, I ended up buying the Klipsch Rp8000f’s and SVS subwoofers, killer combination. I would have bought the Klipsch subs so everything matches but...........SVS is tried and true, with a 5 year no questions asked warranty.
A lot of this really has to do with what speakers you're pairing with it.
In my opinion, when you go into 12" territory the waters are muddied quite a bit and it's harder to tell the difference. The klipsch units do pop a bit more and can really punch it but if you don't like that it can be easily tuned out in most receiver settings. It's nice for a sub to have this feature though as there are certain points in movies and games where I think it fits better, it's all about balance. A 12" SVS on the other hand puts out the slightest bit less distortion on the absolute lowest frequencies, this is definitely true, not enough to care in most cases as it's basically inaudible 98% of the time so long as you run at a reasonable level. Make no mistake though, SVS has sweet stuff and you definitely aren't making a mistake if you buy their stuff.
I'm in the market for a 12" sub. My lowly ksw-10 is not putting out quite what I want out of my system (though it is very good). Been shopping for a while now. I will say that Speakercraft also puts out some really good stuff in this category and they get almost no recognition for it.
Thanks for the comment! SVS definitely makes solid subwoofers. As far as 12" subs go I'm a big fan of the Hsu Research VTF-2 MK5, I did a follow up video a few months ago here: th-cam.com/video/_fQuCtSyfuo/w-d-xo.html. I haven't tried SpeakerCraft but I'll definitely check them out if I get the opportunity. How would you describe their sound?
Man you're so calm, it's a pleasure to listen to you
Thanks 🙏🏾! Please subscribe 😁
@@HomeTheaterHobbyist Done ;))
Awesome thanks 🙏🏾
Wooooooooooooooow amazing video I love and sound is much better in o shape not rectangle is more bigger than o shape and the svs is more balanced for that in my opinion I prefer the svs one thing is you're the best person in the world and God bless you and your family and your friends to and the person read my comments 🙏👍
Wow! Thank you for the blessings! I'm a fellow believer, happy to meet you 😆, at least virtually!
Cool thanks for the friendship
your videos are amazing is very easy to learn , understand with you.. I bought Subwoofer SVS PB 1000 .and I had Subwoofer klipsch R-110SW
now I have both connected 7.2.2 klipsch is small ..and don't know if help or disconnect,,what do you think? great video!!!
I would keep and experiment with sub placement (if you have the space to do so) and volume. You might find a good balance (for instance, Klipsch handling mid bass while SVS handling depth) using two subs versus one. Let me know what you decide.
SVS wins on the sound quality hands down. The klipsch cone is noisy. Also the SVS has a larger enclosure to reach down to 19Hz. No replacement for displacement.
The SVS sounds so much cleaner to me.
Are you going to compare the new RP series Klipsch???
What weird is I'm watching this through a Klipsch Sub and when the Klipsch was playing my whole house shook. When the SVS was going it was mediocre. I'm gonna have to save this video for when I wake up in the morning. Get things shaking for real.
😁😁
The klipsch sound distorted while the svs is smooth sound.
i think the Klipsch actually is louder and distorting his microphone, however through the microphone distortion i can clearly pickup port noise
@@BH4x0r The gain seems higher and the distortion is coming from the lower quality enclosure.
@@sn0fx there both is distortion coming from the port (like you said a bad designed box) but if you listen properly you definitely hear the microphone of his camera clipping!
i could tell straight away idk how you didnt directly notice
Next question would be two clips 12-in sw12 or 1 pb100
1000
Well of course you're going to choose the SVS: that's the one you own. Mentioning this before I hear the review let's see if I am right. Neither one are doing much for the sound quality of the song. XD The Klipsch sounds like it has more oomph and I hear more difference in pitch. Thanks for the review just the same. I would trust the SVS is the sub to get even if it is the one you own.
Just because he bought it, doesn't mean he will keep it. SVS has a great return policy.
@@jonathanhoward3141 yes sir
Hi, I am setting up a marantz sr6015 with 5.1.2, where I am using thx504L for centre ch and thx 502L for front leg and right. Rp 402s for surround and cs18 C for the atmos ceiling speakers.. Here I am not too sure abt the centre speaker, if it is appropriate for this amp or I should go with thx 502-L? Because in the description it is recommended for 150w amp?
I want that Marantz as well.
I HAVE THE KLIPSCH RSW15 WITH DUAL OUTPUTS AND IT SLAMS BY ITSELF.... BUT IT'S NOTHING COMPARED TO THE SVS PB1 PLUS 2💯
Thanks for sharing!
Xtz 10.17 would be great ti compare
Nice currently deciding between a klipsch r115sw vs the pb1000.. 🤔
I haven't tried the r115 so I can't say which is better, sorry.
Go dual pb1000. You will be surprised..
Muneer Al Busaidi would love to but dont really have space for two plus two pb1000 cost 1200€ thats too much for me right now :)
Go with the R-115SW ...unlike the 10 inch version, the 15 goes all the way down to 18hz.
Hey sir, I don't know a lot about Subwoofers, that's why i searched for your video. Currently, i have 2 floorstanding speakers (Teufel T500 F16) and the Teufel KB 62 CR receiver. It's a little overkill for my room, as my room is about 9 square meters (3-3), but I'm an absolute basshead. I also use them sometimes for private parties. My question is which sw you would recommend for me. I'm only using it to listen music (mostly drum and bass/riddim/rap). My preference went to the Teufel s 6000, the Pb 1000 or the SPL 1000.
Anyways, I loved the video, you got yourself a new subscriber.
I like both but I'd go for the PB1000
Subbed , great video. If you were gonna buy a set 7.2.4 which the subs are included, would you pick SVS or Klipsh?
Thanks 🙏🏾! I’d pick SVS because I like deep bass and their subs typically play deep.
new to the channel.....you are amazing! I have subscribed!
Awesome! Thank you 🙏🏾
Great video,excellent test🔊👍
Thanks! I was hoping the tones could be heard well enough to hear the difference.
The design or size is a mute point if it doesn't have similar sound or depth. If the Klipsch rivaled the SVS and bass depth than the size comparison would be valid. It would be more valid to compare a Klipsch of similar size.
