Subwoofer instead of Submarine. 😅 I'd pick woofer over the marine too. Good video. 👍🏼
Haha thanks
Hehe for sure
Heh Youthman. I know this is off topic but would you consider doing a instructional video on using REW for calibrating subwoofers. For beginner users like myself.
Hi Dave, I have an entire playlist of videos dedicated to REW for that very reason ua-cam.com/play/PLlM19BsA_lkbbTW0pPM6Sl8o8qTpLHLcw.html
I’ve got to say I love your balanced approach. I’ve never seen you speak about a product in a bad light, you just correlate value and goals. I appreciate you!
Thank you Robert. I have no problem sharing the good and the bad But I try to do it in a very tasteful way
This was the most negative I have had to say about a product (there were lots) - ua-cam.com/video/1YG_AGaX3-8/v-deo.html
When I compared with my previous dual Jamo D7 THX ultra subwoofers, I felt the same. The Klipsch 115SWs were powerful but a bit boomy and had less control on deep bass. Thanks for the video.
Thanks
Thanks Michael! I have been very interested in learning the difference between these two subs and you even did two subs vs one. Excellent!
I salute you for listening to your listeners, by doing a real world comparison, instead of analyzing graphs.
Thanks. The truth is is I have viewers on both ends of the spectrum. Most of my original videos I did not use REW And I would receive comments from a few saying that my opinion is fine but they wanted to see the results on a graph. So now what I try to do this provide a little bit of both
Another great video youthman. Real world info for the average to above average home theater junkie. I love that your not afraid to make mistakes, it would have been easy to edit out the subwoofer/ submarine part yet you chose to leave it in and show your human side, and even though we all knew what you meant we all felt your passion. You rock, subscriber for life!!
I’m not sure if you were planning on doing this real-world comparison. You’re awesome. You told me (and I’m sure other people, as well) what we needed to hear. Thank you
Thanks Wes. I don’t think I initially planned on doing it but I had several people Request it so I figured why not give my viewers what they wanna hear
Another great video! Judging by your grin, SvS is impressive! SvS is a consideration when and if my pair of r115's ever die on me. Thanks for taking the time and doing this for us viewers 🙌🙌
Thanks
@@Youthman well, one of my R115's is giving me problems turning on, and staying. Thinking of PB-4000.
Ugh. Sorry to hear that. I believe the PB4000 has some issues with amp failures.
@@Youthman oh no lol! My absolute budget will be $1600- $2k, max. What would you suggest? My front stage is RF7III, RC64III and Cornwall IV. I'm sure you've seen it on the Klipsch owners forum..
This was a few years ago when they first came out so hopefully they have corrected the issue. But even if you do have issues with the amp, their customer service is incredible. They will take care of you
1 thumbs down? But...... why? This was very informative. 🧐🤔
Never can please everyone
The thumbsdown were from viewers who were upset that the item chosen for the giveaway was not the PB-3000
Youthman...this review is absolutely awesome. Great real world info and your enthusiasm and passion for the hobby always shines through.
I value your opinion on HT equipment and I was subjectively sorta hoping the dual Klipsch would perform as well as the single PB3000 because that would make it financially easier to swing the Klipsh's and also keep the wife calmer. "The Klipsh's are cuter, and smaller too..." she says...🙄
On the other hand, 2 PB3000's should be the end all "last subwoofer purchase" I SHOULD need...on paper. Of course, the quandry in this hobby is the constact journey for bigger, better, louder etc. Home Theateritis is a terrible desease...but I'll be alright, as long as I designate it as my doghouse...! 🤔
You are correct. As with any hobby, if you are serious about it, it does get expensive. But the best thing to do is build it over time, and even look for great deals on used equipment. I did that for the past 12 years of my audio journey
@@Youthman Great advice. Definitely must crawl before walking. The problem is that at my age now, I just want to hit the ground running...!
The reality is, I have a crawling budget, and I know you that I can build a respectable room on that budget...but I sure hate to wait... 😫
Patience my friend...patience
@@Youthman Absolutely...👍🏾
I know it's been 5 years since you posted this video, but from what you remember Brother, would you recommend one SVS PB-2000 Pro subwoofer over one or two of these Klipsch R-115SW subs? Clearly, you liked the PB-3000 more than these Klipsches, but what about the PB-2000 vs these Klipsches? Thoughts? Seems everyone loves SVS and the prices have gone up since you posted this video it seems. God bless and thanks for your time.
Thank you for the quick follow up! Dropped a like on the video. I like that you noted the frequency drop off but that your preference was for how much cleaner/tighter the SVS bass was. While I have not heard the SVS PB3000, I have heard the smaller PC2000 and I have always loved how SVS subwoofers perform with authority. My current setup has a single Klipsch R-115SW and I agree the lower frequencies can sometimes seem a little "messy" but ever since i heard them, i cant go back :) Id probably have to go with PB-16Ultra is i was ever going to replace it but i am happy with my all matching Klipsch for now.
Thank you
The Klipsch 115 competes more with the PB2000. Would be nice to see those two head to head
Possibly so but unfortunately I will probably not be getting in the PB 2000
Or dual of both? They do seem to line up better with each other.
The RSW-15 would spank several SVS subs. Just depends on which model.
@@Youthman 😃👍🏽
Great comparison & simple explanation for even a layman to understand. And u sound humble & natural unlike some who sound desperate in promoting brandS(vs)
Thank you kindly. I want my videos to be like a conversation you and I were to have if we were hanging out in my theater room. I’m not fancy, just a guy who is passionate about home theater and helping others along their audio journey.
You da man, we asked and you delivered. Thanks for doing a real-world test. I was hoping the PB3000 was gonna be your pick cause that's the one I was rootin for :)
I thought the dual 15’s would sound better. I’ve been wrong before lol
I was going for the the pb3000 as well. Out numbered but not out gunned!
Great video. Glad you gave an honest opinion. It all comes down to budget. I recommend Klipsch all the time... If they don't have the budget for a SVS.
Yeah I sincerely try to be as non-bias as I can even with my natural bias towards Klipsch speakers because my ears love the horns.
@@Youthman Yeah. I see lots of folks commenting on Monoprice equipment, I'd like to see some reviews on them. Subs, and amplifiers.
@Youthman keep up the great job & thank you! ;-)
Thanks
You said “pushed the subwoofer” instead of “submarine.”
I finally pulled the trigger and purchased a pair of SVS PC-4000 subs (they ship next week).
My Velodynes (FSR-15) have been amazing in their 23 yrs with me, but it was time to get some new subs to compliment my new LS 800s.
Thank you very much for this real world comparison.
Gladly
Awesome! Great comparison! Do you normally boost up the sub after calibration to 78 or 80db?
I typically add 3-5dB to the subs after Audyssey calibration
@youthman you need to redo these tests with the current version of klipsch spl 150 vs 115sw , and the svs pb3000 . Pls and thanks
The R-115SW is no longer in production. I have already reviewed the PB3000. Currently do not have plans to review the SPL-150. I would think it will perform very similarly to the 115 SW
Awesome review, thanks Youthman!
Thanks
Another awesome video Youthman, love your approach and passion for this stuff. Keep the videos coming, always looking forward to them!
Thanks!
Now I want to see a movie scene with a big subwoofer busting up through the water
Haha
Spitting that knowledge!!! That’s what I tell people when it comes to quality sound. I enjoy listening to sound and those specific details. Keep it up man!!!
Thanks Henry
Youthman you’re very welcome. If you you don’t mold me asking what’s your name please?
Hi Henry, my name is Michael
Youthman good to officially meet you Michael. Keep up with the great content!!!
Thanks
Love watching your reviews. Thanks for doing the real world comparison.
Thanks Robert
Do you think you'll ever be able to do a comparison between the PB3000 and the PB4000? REW and Real World Comparison would be pretty cool to see between both of those subs.
Thanks again for the great video! I'm still waiting for that video where measure your PB16 ultras with REW..i would REALLY like to see how those "monsters" perform, located as they are now....gonna make that video soon?
I will add it to my video schedule
Love your video content, i currently have one PB4000 with klipsch Reference speakers, hoping to have my house built soon so i can have another PB4000.
Awesome! Glad you enjoy the content
I just noticed you were saying aquaman pushed the subwoofer instead of submarine 😁i just smiled because I understand you were in the zone about the subs. It’s all good 😊🙏 Awesome review again. Thank you youthman
Yeah, instead of reshooting, I thought it was funny, so I just left it in there
Excellent video. Thank you for your opinion on 1 3000 vs 2 klipsh. I was wondering the same thing. But what about quality of sub for music?
Not subwoofer a submarine
Need an update of this video with the new klipsch RP-1400sw/RP-1600sw and PB3000/PB16 Ultra
I’m still waiting for Klipsch to send me one, but we just finished up a MWAVe 2023.
We purchased the 1600 for the show to use in our blind Subwoofer comparison. Out of seven subwoofers, the people chose the 1600 in the top three, even favored over the PB16. I think it has some serious potential.
Thanks for all you do. I just purchased a set of pb 3000. My first svs anything.
I'm also running 2 klipsch 625 towers in front the klipsch center as well as the 5.25 complete dolby atmos set from Costco. I will be adding a few quintet speakers for the roof. Room is approximately 22' wide 13' deep as in away from TV. Roof is angled, 14' one side like 10 on the other. No rear wall behind viewing room as it sets 30" lower than main dinning room and kitchen. Think 1970s grottos. Your thoughts.? My subs haven't arrived yet. However I believe this should be amazing.
Nice job...what you suggest 2 bic america 200pl sub or single klipsch R-115SW?
Just lost my RSW-15 after 20 years. Sad day. Will look into getting it repaired, but probably time to check out new ones. Also have an RT-12D, but have gotten used to two subs. Thanks for the comparison and your thoughts.
I’ve owned both. The RSW-15’s are the best subs Klipsch has made. I’m waiting on them to release The Beast. Unfortunately amp failures are expected on 20 year old subs. I had one of my 4 die.
I think the roll off and the cleanliness both have a little to do with driver size. I have a Rythmik fv15hp and lovin’ it. I would like to see you review, and/or hear your thoughts on Rythmik.
Not really.
The pb16 is cleaner than the klipsch, and it's also cleaner.
He also tested dual pb3000 VS dual monolith thx 15. And monolith were as tight or even slightly more tight as the pb3000, having bigger driver.
Tightness is a cuestión of driver quality (not size) and amp power and quality.
Awesome review! Keep it up. Don’t forget I’m looking forward to your thoughts on up-firing atmos and ceiling atmos! Lol. You should also do a review on buttkickers. I hear those are a great investment to the hometheatre seats. Just a thought!
That is on my schedule as the next video. Should have it ready by Wednesday
Good video. I ordered a PB-3000 a few days ago. It's going in a 1440 cu ft closed room. My neighbors are gonna hate me.
Two subwoofers?!? That's nuts dude... Who even does that?? 😅 Informative video man, gonna have to check that movie out. Very excited to demo some SVS subs in the future
Who is insane enough to have dual 12” drivers in their main speakers, 10” woofer in their surrounds and (3) 24” subs? Probably Life of Bliss. 😂
@@Youthman well now I just feel silly for even saying anything 🤣
I have 2 10s for music purposes 2 12s are better for movies I really don't like any bigger I would do 4 12s for the best of music and movies 4 10s doesn't make to much sense it will sound good for music and good for movies but not bad ass if you were going for a 4 sub set up
@@bumkrilla5339 eh, skip the 12s for movies. 18s or 24s are where it's at for ULF content in movies 😉👍
Nice Video, i like the SVS 3000 Series and wanna buy one but i dont no which one PB or SB?
im currently in the process of re-watching all your vids that use the SVS PB 3K for comparisons or just remarks...im trying to nail down my decision on which Pair of Subs Im gonna target...its between the 4K and 3K...dont have the room or budget to do Ultra16s (yet hehehe)...what were your thoughts between those two subs? or link me to any vid you've done that may help. gracias again Michael.
I currently have the Klipsch RSW 115. I’m looking to upgrade to SVS. Should I buy 2 PB 3000’s or one PB 16 ultra? My room is 20 by 30. I hear everyone stress the importance of duals. I would likely not be able to buy another Ultra for some time. At least a year.
Any chance you will be reviewing the Jtr 4000ulf’s? Your review will be epic. Looking to choose between the Jtr 4000 ulf and the PSA s3611! Thanks for the great content.
Thanks. After Jeff finishes with Axpona, he said we could talk about the possibility of me reviewing some of his gear.
You are hard at work this weekend Mike keep em coming 😀👍👍👍👍
Yes Will lots of new content lately. More coming this week
which would be better choice, for me? I want to add subwoofer to my stereo system, I'm choosing between SVS PB-1000 and Klipsch R115SW, they are both 630€. I will use them for movies and music(mostly EDM, rap, hip hop, trap)
I use Two klipsch R-110 SW for HT setup and for music listening , they are tight and clean. In my opinion the klipsch are great value for the money, SVS subs have unnatural bass character to it..... I found that the klipsch R-110sw is better than it’s bigger siblings...... Watching your channel from Canada 👍👍👍👍
Hi there, why do you think it's better? Cause on crutchfield the r110sw costs more than the r112sw . I think that's really odd
I think quite similar. I was really disappointed when I bought svs sb 4000 and midbass lost its punch and most movies dont even go to the lowest region where svs shines
That Aquaman was phenomenal with those rsw-15 youth man
You have RSW-15’s? I used to have (4) of them.
plz do a comparison between single pb 3000 & pb 16 ultra,how far they differ
yes
I haven’t done any side by side but Incan already tell you they don’t compare. PB16 is a beast
Again... You are talking comparing subs that are twice the price of each other. That holds no value. Youthman is 100% right.
Well said Logan
Any chance in the future you build your own subwoofer? Like the Dayton ultimax 18. And compare to your SVS PB 16 ultra?
Hi Chris. Probably not. I’m not much of a “handy man”. I could build a kit but I wouldn’t have the tools or knowledge to finish them to make them look really nice.
incredibly detailed review more of these plz numbers only go so far any cracks in the walls after listening to the cave in scene from 1917 while listening to your duel pb16s?
My living room where my home theater is measures 20x18. I have a pair of Klipsch r-820f, Klipsch rp-450c, Klipsch r-41m, and Klipsch r-41sa. My subwoofer is a Polk Audio PSW505. I need to upgrade my sub and have been doing some research and ran into your video. Just what I was looking...so my question is, do I go with dual SVS pb-2000 or single SVS pb-3000. Right now dual pb-2000 go for $1200 while the pb-3000 is still at $1400. Thank you in advance.
Good thing I click on this video, I was thinking about getting 2 pb-2000 or 1 pb-3000, I think I'm going with the pb-3000. Keep up the great work...
Buy the best sub you can afford. When you have enough money (and space) add a second.
@@loganf6517 Well I took the hit and brought the PB-3000 yesterday. I can't wait to get it in and set it up..
@@Vegas702 Did you go through a dealer? There's a significant discount from the website. Look up the Klipsch owners group on Facebook.
@@loganf6517 I went through SVS website. I didn't see any discounts? can you send me the link?
@@Vegas702 I sent you an email on the email you had listed on your UA-cam channel.
Hey youthman are you going to make any review videos on any of the Monolith Subwoofers?
thanks for your insight mate
I like my one SVS pc12 plus subwoofer, it shakes my entire room and it’s not s small living room. Maybe one day I’ll get two to even things out, for for now, it’s awesome. Glad I went with it over the Klipsch 15” sub
SVS makes great subs...always have. I have Dual PB16’s in my setup. They are incredible
What do you think YM, i have now one pb13 and one pb4000 from svs and my room is 20 square meters, im thinking about 4 of 115sw. What willbe beter?
Check out U751, the depth charger scene... The LFE is alright, alright, alright!
Hey you have to try with the Earthquake supernova MKVII-15P
Hate to be nitpicky but you used REW to find best spot for sub. What is the frequency response like on your personal subs behind the screen? Don't recall if you have posted that in the past. Thanks and keep up the good vids.
Not nit picky at all. I too am curious what they look like behind the screen. I don’t think I was learning to use REW when I added them.
I did what most people do and that is add them where is best aesthetically. But I may find they don’t measure that well.
The good thing is they still sound fantastic back there but I am curious.
If there are issues, it will give me an opportunity to play with phase, time alignment, PEQ within the PB16’s and the miniDSP 2x4HD that I have in for review.
Would still love to see a comparison between the PB2000 vs R115 because they are comparable in price and supposedly output.
Probably will not be reviewing the PB2000
Youthman aw shucks. But I understand getting review units isn’t the easiest thing, and if you’re buying these to review that’s just crazy. Content is still awesome! Keep up the good work!
Thank you. Most companies will send me whatever product I want, I just have limited time to review and I have already done a lot of different SVS products I want to branch out and review others
Hi Youthman, I love the PB3000 but due to space constrain, would u recommend that I get a SB3000 for a start. Will get another set when I m ready
Depends on your room size, how much bass you like and whether it’s mostly for music or movies
**I am considering HSU subwoofer- vtf 3 MK5, Please give your thoughts about HSU subwoofers.**
Your videos always gives encouragement to upgrade my speakers.
Your talking about the cleanes of the sound from the PB. I wonder, if you can get SB to deliver the same pressures/dB down low in frequency. It will sound even cleaner? :)
What do you think about m&k subwoofer with there push pull set up ?love to see a review on it ..
I have not heard M&K yet
I think another good movie that has good lfe is underworld awakening ..
Hey youthman, will it be a problem if i use both r115 and pb3000? I currently have the r115. Want to upgrade to a pb3000. I’m planning on using them both.
I am having a similar internal debate. Do I get 2 SVS PC 2000s(i like the form factor of the cylinder and more appropriate setting for my living room), or do I get one SVS PC 4000, and wait until funds( ie. tax return:-) ) will allow for a second sub.
Would 3 klipsch Rw-10d and 1- Klipsch Rw-12d and 1 Klipsch 15 " KSW 300 be as good at 1 pb3000? Around 3k dynamic capability.... 57" cone area and not bad excursion...
Hey Youthman, love all of your reviews!
Quick question, would you go with 2 pb3000's or one pb16ultra? I'll be using the sub to mostly watch movies. I want that deep, tactile rumble that'll shake your seat. Thank you!
Always 2 good ones over 1 better
@@chriss881000 thanks for the reply! I ended up going with a single PSA TV21IPAL. Now everything in my house shakes!!!
@@holdencommodore2200 nice:) do u use much gain on the sub? For the "house shaking" to take place?
@@chriss881000 it's turned up to the 12 o'clock position when I want to feel the visceral bass. If I turn it up more, I'm afraid the drywall will start cracking! This subwoofer is on a whole new level!
@@holdencommodore2200 wow, thats wierd. I got tu turn up alot more on my 2 svs pb 2000 pro. How big are ur livingroom?
Correct me if I'm wrong, the pv3000 is inside a sealed box. So in actuality your comparing a sealed sub to a ported subwoofer. The ported box is going to give you more bass and not roll off as much. The seal box the bass is always tighter n punchier so its about preference. Do u want deep heart taking bass or some bass with somewhat of a sound quality subwoofer. Give me the ported sound for my bass
Both of these subs are ported.
PB = Ported Box
SB = Sealed Box
Hi, I have a budget 5.1 sorround sound system. The subwoofer doesnt have dedicated power line, it uses amplifier connection both for power & sound input. How can I add another subwoofer to this system?
I say that 3r 15sw against Monoprice monolith 15 will beat 3 of the klipsch
Michael what's the difference between the PB 3000 and the SB 3000 besides one being ported.
Ported is larger in size and has more output.
You mentioned that you set the sub level to 80 dB. What is the level of the remaining speakers in the system at the same receiver volume level?
do a monolith 15" vs klipsch r-115sw pls!!
Well, he did dual monolith 15 vs pb3000, and he said monolith are superior to pb3000, so if pb3000 is better than klipsch, that means that monolith 15 are far better than r115sw
Solid deductive reasoning
Very Very nicely done my friend. I agree with you 110%. Keep up the great work and you be blessed too
Thanks
I doubt it is a good and fair comparison. When one talks about “clean” subwoofer sound, one should cut off all frequencies below 20Hz. Vibrations below 20 Hz will effect the “clean” tones. I have set a low frequency cut off on my Anthem ARC and the R115 became much cleaner and more punchy. I think in your room with 2 Klipsch subs the effect will even be more pronounced. From your frequency curves from last vid, one could easily predict, that the SVS PB will sound cleaner as it rolls off at 20Hz
The reality is most will not be editing the rolloff of their subs but I agree, it would likely clean up those low frequencies
Low frecuencied are more difficult to handle, so when you remove them, the rest of frecuencied get more in control (tighter).
It's a cuestión of driver quality and amp power and quality.
Monolith thx 15 is as tight and clean as the pb3000 and it's also a sub which can hit really hard 10hz in room.
Maybe the problem here is that klipsch didn't use the quality components the subwoofer needed to play frecuencied under 20Hz, so the trik you are doing it should have done by klipsch.
Do you phase align your subs with your fronts? If so, what process do you use?
Question.
How does 1 x Klipsch R-115sw compare to 1 x PB2000 Pro and to dual PB1000??
Can you review BIC PL200 in comparison to other equivalent subs in the market pls.
Hello Youthman any chance you could do a instructional video on using REW for calibrating subwoofers for beginners like myself.
Hi Dave, I have a playlist of REW videos on my channel. That should help.
I try to make the videos simple enough for anyone to follow
Single PB-3000 vs dual SB-3000 in a 1506 cubic feet room? I love duals, but there's no way I can fit two PB-3000s here(
not enough videos here on UA-cam dive into the buyer's remorse or the "what if" factor. I started with a single SVS PB-1000. I was absolutely blown away by the output of that sub when I first heard it. So entirely blown away, that suddenly my budget nearly tripled and I bought dual SVS PB-2000's. Then I heard about JTR Subwoofers. Went from Dual SVS PB-2000's to Dual JTR Captivator 2400ULF's. Any normal human being should be completely satisfied with the 2400's in a room that measures 12x19x8. If I could go back to the beginning and help myself make a proper decision, I would absolutely choose the biggest single subwoofer/enclosure I could afford rather than smaller dual subwoofers even from the same brand. Get your Endgame subwoofer first, work on multiplying it later. You'll save so much money in the long run (several years after you read this)
Thanks for sharing Brandon. Unfortunately most of us have to learn that lesson the hard way. I know I did
Definitely helpful.
Picked up PB-4000 Piano Gloss Black on sale from Amazon NEW $1499.00! Woot!
After I got it, went back to the page and it was back to $1999! Yeah!
Entertain us Patrick. What sub are you running?
Good video I have a question similar to the vid. I have a single sb4000 I like it but want more. If you’ve heard them would you go with a pb4000, move the sb4000 to another room, add a 16 ultra to to the sb4000 to go dual or add another sb4000? Asking because want to make one purchase. Instead of adding more getting more but still looking for more.
I Lester. I was in a similar situation when I reviewed the Dual PB16. They sounded great but I was looking for more output. Once I heard the Dual PB16, they provided significantly more output.
I definitely would not recommend mixing sealed and ported subwoofers in the same room. You will get a lot of cancellations
Youthman Do you think I can get more output from a single pb4000 or dual SB4000. I meant an sb16ultra with the sb4000 to stay dual no mixing port & sealed. looking for most output. That last combo had 2 different size subs sooo🤔.??
PS
On amazon(Canada) i find SVS PB (ported) and SB(sealed)
Since i have zero knowledge on subs i ask you if you prefer sealed or ported,and why?
The one your chuffed about here is ported,so i assume that is the one to have?
Ported subs typically have more output. Sealed subs tend to dig deeper. I sold my PB16’s and upgraded to (4) sealed 18’s and now I have the best of both worlds. Flat down to 10Hz and PLENTY of output.
great review.
hi mate good video just wanted to know can u put up the list of the movies pls thanks
Sorry but I do not have a list of movies
Aquaman was pushing the subwoofer up? Damn that’s some 4th wall breaking there
LOL
love his channel
Thank you
Which could you feel more? Also deeper bass?
Subwoofer in Aquaman!!
Oh yeah you didn’t see it? 🤣
Hello
What you think better for movies regardless to measurements.
What you think is better
It depends on what’s most important to you. App vs no app. Lower extension. vs smoother bass response throughout your room.
may i ask you .. What do you think is better Klipsch R115 or SVS PB-1000 ?? because those subwoofer at same price in my country ..
I haven’t heard the PB1000 but the R-115SW should outperform the PB1000
Next match should be a PSA V1510 vs a PB3000
Did you try reversing the polarity on one of the subs to see if the they complimented each other or not?
No, You typically keep them in phase when they are on the same wall
Yes the SVS PB3000 are like Tiger Woods; Masters 2019
Haha nice 😀
No Comment
No comment? Do you mean delayed comment? I’ve been gone most of the afternoon and evening and the other reality is I physically cannot answer every single question that I received via email, Instagram, Facebook, UA-cam comments, and instant messenger LOL
I don’t think you can go wrong with any Parasound gear. They are rocksolid
@@Youthman thanks I will just purchase the 2 channel for stereo and still have it running my two fronts thanks.
What are your thoughts on the SVS SB-2000 Subs? Im considering a pair of those. With 500W amps and small size I think they would be perfect for my space.
I have not heard the 2000 series. Only the 3000 and 16 Series
@@Youthman That's my struggle. Im interested in swapping out my B&W CM9 S2 and ASW CM10 S2 fronts and sub with Klipsch RP-8000f and SVS Sub since as far as I can tell, especially from both yours and the Audiophiliac's reviews of Klipsch that it would fit my musical tastes of classic and modern hard rock better, as well as have great home theater application. Problem is no SVS or Klipsch dealers in my state and I really don't like buying audio equipment without having listened to them first.
It is very difficult to buy sight unseen, which is why I try to offer videos on my channel from a consumer’s perspective.
Great review. It's sooo interesting. I hear this time and time again, but normally it's people comparing sealed vs ported. Whichever sub extends the least ALWAYS is reported to sounding more tactile and cleaner, and faster. EVERYTIME! I'm convinced it's really just a product of frequency response. The lower the bass the less tactile, and the slower (litterally a function of the soundwave) ot sounds and feels.
