    This Monolith THX 10 was measuring down to 16hz in my room. Of course that will depend on the room, but it's pretty amazing what this 10" sub can do.

    Got this for my bedroom during its holiday sale for $450. It's awesome. Have the miniDSP HD hooked up to it for better optimizing the bass. I had to get the SVS isolation feet to decouple from the floor because it was just shaking and vibrating too much shit around the room on the 2nd floor..which felt and sounded nice, but I knew I wasn't getting accurate bass. It's an awesome sub that can really stand with the 12" subs.

I have a Sonos sub too in my room, and I love that little thing, but the Sonos ARC and Sub don't even come close to the emersion/sound that my 2.1 SVS Ultra Bookshelves and the PB3000 do...it is freaking awesome to me! I wanted to get the REL15 during their black Friday sale for 11000 from Adorama, but they didn't offer free returns (You have to pay for the shipping back to them) so I decided on the PB3000. I might try one of these Monolith for my 2.1 computer setup...but I'm still tempted to listen to the 15 REL....

    You would have to go up to the SVS 4000 to get an equivalent sub (output spec wise) to the Monolith 13 THX sub (it may be marketed as a 13" driver, but it's actually a 15"). Yes, it may have an EQ app, but if you already have decent calibration software you don't need to spend the extra money.

      I would go 2x10" because you have a better chance of reducing nulls in your room where bass is being cancelled out by reflections off of walls. You will also have more output with 2 vs one 12".

    Could you do, or can you direct me to someone who has DIRECTLY compared the Monolith 10, and the SVS PB1000? Seems like everyone says away from this match up, when they BOTH are natural contenders..... both 10", both ported, both $499.
    I already have a PB1000, but am about to go with duals.... trying to figure out should I get a second PB1000, or sell it and get dual Monolith 10's? Really could use some graphs or something showing side by side testing. I'm stuck........

      The SB would be a significant step back for HT since it's a sealed sub. The PB would be a better choice but the monolith still has an edge over the pb in terms of deep bass. If you can up your budget another $116 though the HSU Research VTF2 MK5 will outperform both and is arguably the best HT sub under $850 new. Not unless you build your own sub.

    Would love to see you test the BIC America F-12, H-100II and PL-200II. They seem to consistently get favorable reviews online but most of the reviews are subjective without graphs. They are all rated down to at least 25hz and everyone seem to subjectively think they do go lower than other subs in their price range so would love to see you confirm that. If so, they would be a good compromise between cost and performance.
