You are correct, the sub amp gives out.....SVS uses very strict limiters. The SB12 and PB12 NSD are the lowest output subs ever tested on data-bass in the mid and upper bass. As I said, I demo'd in my system and its a case to not knowing what you are missing until you know what you are missing. The NSD subs very unobtrusively stop getting louder quite early....when you replace them with a more capable sub, you realize how much you were lacking.
Here is the PB12 compared to an even cheaper bargain budget sub, the Premier Acoustics PA-150. The PB12 does well 16-30 Hz for the price, but lackluster above that. There is no question.
Having said all that, I agree a pair of SB12's would be a good value for a music only system that would satisfy many people. I personally was able to find the NSD's limits far too easily.
