Last year I bought and reviewed the SVS Sound PB-1000 subwoofer, a 10” woofer in a ported box that performs extremely well for a price of $500. It has done an admirable job filling those lower octaves in my home theater for almost a year now. At the 2014 CES, SVS was there to introduce two new subwoofers with 12” drivers: The PB-2000 and the SB-2000. Since I own the PB-1000, I wanted to see how it would stack up to the PB-2000.

 

..... SVS has always made their name with performance and value, and the PB-2000 does nothing to change that. If you watch movies, I’d certainly take it over the PB-1000 because of how much deeper it can go. With music, the difference is far more subtle, and when you factor in price the upgrade may not be worth it. The PB-2000 a subwoofer anyone will be happy to have, and one I might not return to the company.

• All new12'' woofer
• PB-2000 digs deep into 17Hz while SB-2000 can reach 19Hz.
• New Sledge STA-500D amplifier pumping 500 watts.
