SVS SB3000 Subwoofer Black Ash

I bought 2 of these from a shop not Amazon but feel like adding my voice. My stereo system is high end in a 6x5m room, the subs also form part of my 7.2.4 setup. These subs are wonderful, nicer bass response (not depth) than SVS PB16 Ultra subs (heard both with same speakers). Bass is tight and musical, the PB16 Ultras had ringing that doesnt lend itself quite so well to music imo. They are very powerful, mine are turned down a lot and give an astonishing performance with movies and music, never getting near stressed. They will go way louder than I can stand and well beyond 20Hz depth. The EQ and other features work very well. While they bedded in, the resonant freq was quite high up (over 50Hz) which dropped as time in use passed. The EQ was very useful taming this, and matching them to my speakers. Now they resonate near 20Hz after a year which I no longer EQ, I expect this to drop further. If you are after a powerful, musical sub that can be optimally tuned to your room and system, this can do both without room treatments. Highly recommended.

Only few concerns, doesn't come with Bluetooth wireless streaming adapter for music. and the power cable length is too short, no display on woofer front. Always require remaining connected with mobile app and very limited accessibility to sound features. On the first start, it requires once room gain calibration just through the app itself, after that it just booms all around...Apart from all concerns, this SVS does it job perfectly to make you shake along with house windows.... Still SVS need to add little more features just to have a complete one stop buy product.

Very solid sub no vibration solid punch

The real subwoofers starting from 12" and above. I've tested DynaVoice 8" sub, Exelent craftsmanship- but total lack of bass performance. Returned. Then buyed Yamaha 8" sub SW 200, average bass performance and poore control of the membrane at fast bass sections. The membrane is hitting end positions with huge distorcions. Returned. Then buyed SVS 3000 Micro, 2x8" and 800 Watts. Good bass performance at low level bass, but at about 80+ dB and higher it starts huge distorcions. Absolute disapointment regarding the high price. Returned. All above mantioned was aimed to upgrade factory soundbar B&W on my Philips oled935 tv in the bedroom (15 sqm). After return of 3000 Micro, I decided to try my hometheater's sub SVS SB 2000 Pro, absolute beast in my living room (25 sqm). And finally found the proper upgrade for the bedroom! This way I ordered SVS SB 3000 for my hometheater set. This sub is peforming much powerfull and confident compared to SB 2000. The bass is a bit slower, but the power increase is noteble. Also it goes a bit low under 20Hz. Now I'm feeling the bass vibrations also on the floor. With SB 2000 the vibrations were only trough the sofa. Now if increase volume on my AV receiver above -30 dB the smaller objects in the room starts resonating. With SB 2000 this was not possible even at -15dB. The DSP control and the app are just without competicion. It is absolute comfort to sit in your listening positon and to make all setings via the smartphone. So, maybe after 2-3 months will add more impresions of this greath subwoofer. Absolutley recommend. P.S. My admirations to Amazon for their exelent service.

Ho inserito questo sub in un grande salone con un impianto pretenzioso che utilizzo sia per musica, in configurazione 2 canali + sub, sia per video in configurazione 7.1 Grazie anche alla app per smartphone grandiosa che consente settaggi mentre si ascolta, si è subito integrato strabene, in sistesi la sua forza è l'estensione verso il basso e il basso assolutamente frenato. La grande orchestra ora è davvero grande, il basso elettrico realistico. Beh poi quando deve tirar fuori muscolosità mica si tira indietro. Direi che riesce a suonare dando un apporto importante integrandosi in modo da non farsi notare. Lo noti, eccome, se lo spegni mentre l'impianto suona !

I would give 5 more stars on this product if possible. This little box is replacing a Klipsch R-112 Sub, which is of itself a great product. What makes the SBS an improvement? Besides the overall sound, the app is fantastic for tuning in this sub, use it!. It really sets the SVS brand apart. Without professional equipment, I suggest going to YouTube and searching for "Bass Test". There's a great video that drops a sine wave from 2000 Hz to to zero. It's a good way to notice your gaps in bass by listening. In my particular instance, I live in an apartment with an open concept kitchen, there's a lot of space to pressurize for a 13 inch sealed driver, so I was afraid I was going to have to return it for something like the PB-3000. The first placement, was in front, near the center channel speaker. With this placement, I was able to rattle the walls and had a pretty good listening level, but there was a big hole around 50 Hz that took a lot of boost, and still was a little weak. Time for placement number 2. In the corner. Yes, I just put baby in the corner. Major difference. The SPL (volume) was significantly boosted and my 50Hz hole was far less prominent and much easier to correct. I now have the volume set at -12db and really can't boot it up without being evicted. I'm pretty sure if you went to reference level, the building would be leveled. My fears of returning this for something that puts out more SPL, are gone. With this placement and a little tuning with the app, there's a nice smooth curve down to about 28Hz, with the ability to hear it down to 20. Movies quake and shake now, and Music is tight, fast and punchy and the room pressurizes very well. This is a GREAT sub for the price, and I'd wholeheartedly recommend it.
