SVS SB-1000 review

 

SVS was once famed for making subwoofers only for lonely nerds who could get away with standing a bass tube bigger than their girlfriend in the corner of the room. Mostly because they didn't have a girlfriend. And, while it does still make those...

Easy to set up, easy to house; compact design with a rich output that sounds bigger than the box

The user manual is a basic sheet to save a buck; we'd prefer sharp spikes as well as rubber ones

Best subwoofer under $500

 

We're all under more stress and spending a lot of time at home, and nothing eases the mind like some new music. But what if you want those tunes to sound seriously better? If you're looking to give your ears and soul a real treat during these troubled...

SB-1000 is a great little sub for what you pay. It's compact and offers satisfyingly deep bass for both movies and music. It makes a great companion to single soundbars with a sub out connection too.

The Best High-Performance Subwoofer

 

The SVS SB-1000 is a great choice for people who live in small spaces or who are averse to cluttering their living room floor. Measuring 13½ by 13 by 14⅝ inches (HWD), it's compact enough to hide under many end tables, yet this 12-inch subwoofer...

Consider the SVS SB-1000 the opposite of the Hsu Research VTF-2 MK5: It’s the subwoofer you buy when you’re trying to find one small and sleek enough that it disappears into your decor, but still powerful enough to deliver satisfying performance. With...

SVS SB-1000 Ultra Compact Powered Subwoofer - Review

 

Overall, the SB-1000 provided a clean, but not overly exaggerated, bass response that was effective, and the subwoofer had excellent recovery time between dynamic bass peaks.

Compact, musical Sub

 

I searched reviews of many Subs and decided this sounded the most musical in the price range I was looking. I am more interested in music than cinema sound but it does underpin films and TV series's well. The controls are easy to use and despite not...

Great subwoofer

 

After my tannoy sub had given up the ghost, I decided to invest in something more substantial. Due to room limitations I went with the SB version and I'm not disappointed, bass I've never heard before. Im still adjusting to suit everyday use and being...
