Ah, so a PB12 plus2, thanks for the clarification (sort of)Heres the Review of my old SVS Sub which still competes with a PB13 Ultra!
SVS PB12-Plus/2 Subwoofer System Review
SVSound is a relative newcomer to the home audio arena and has quickly made a name for itself. In the relatively short time they've been in existence they’ve earned an enviable reputation for
Okay well the +3dB increase wasn't applied evenly as some were +5dB if I remember correctly. After seeing that and the Monolith Subs all being wrong I cant trust that source as it's outdated at least as far back as 7/26/23. Which was when Audioholics corrected all of their Monolith subs. I imagine if he's neglected those readings that more than likely others are incorrect. Which I why I said to use the Trust but Verify method. I hope Sweetchaos does update his spreadsheet as its widely referenced.
At this point im only looking at SVS for my next Sub(s). Because I think the new SVS Pinnacle towers & Center will be my next LCR and it would be nice to have a matching set for once. And if you buy 5 or more items you get a 5% discount. Plus the SVS Subs bass management is top notch. And considering that Dirac ART most likely drops for mid-priced receivers this April im gonna use it to EQ an amazing sounding room with incredible Bass. Really excited for this fall when i purchase everything hopefully.
Where are you getting your svs 16ultra numbers? I checked audioholics numbers and they don't seem to match what you posted.
Great point.
Their EXACTLY the same...the question is what is your Source? Because mine come directly from the guys that measured them. Don't trust spreadsheets. Maybe your confusing the Sealed SB16 vs the Ported PB16 Measurements...
Tonewinner puts handles on their Subs. According to Spec of Tech on youtube they beat SVS by his measurements. Only problem is that his are in-room measurements not done by and CEA Standards. So they cant be verified. I dont think hes lying, but if i introduced them here the so-called "Audiophiles" crowd would freak out! Personally I think Tonewinner is louder but doesnt have the great tech that SVS has. Their like a more mature Monolith.
Thought I read in the review of the pb16 ultra that it was 109 at 16hz?
Maybe this will clear things up.
That's why if I ever replace my old SB-1000, I'll go for a Kali WS-12 -- not pretty, but pretty luggable.
Yup. I have mine on a little rug I used to slide it into the living room. That rug now has a new purpose.
