Why aren't there any recent subwoofer reviews on this site? There used to be reviews for the SVS PB2000Pro and SVS PB3000, but where are they now?

I don't recall there ever being formal tests of those. Basically, it's expensive to ship subs so they rarely get tested. Plus, our sensitivity to inaccuracy is much less in the bass realm so there is a utility argument as well.

I also don't remember any subwoofer reviews by Amir. There's one big review by @Nuyes and that thread still exists. And there is the comparison table by @sweetchaos.

Amir says he does not have the setup to test them. IIRC he said he would have to test outside which is not practicle at his location. He did test the Rythmik sub

I think by "this site" the OP is referring to data-bass.com, rather than ASR, just going by the attached picture. Data-bass doesn't seem to have been doing any reviews for over half a decade at this point.

The reviewer retired and is not doing them anymore.

James Larson over at Audioholics is the last/only reviewer still doing outdoor ground plane CEA 2010 measurements.

Erin doesn't? I know he tests subs.

He did for the first few smaller ones a few years back comparing them to one another.

Thing is unless it is the same tester with the same microphone and same methods it is really not a consistent comparison for models across brands and years.

Hope Audioholics continues.

Brent Butterworth recently measured new subwoofers, including at least the small subwoofer Edifier T5s https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/subwoofer-comparison.20494/post-2585378
