SVS is famous for reproduction of the deepest frequencies with ease... But concerning the PB 12 +/2 with the new driver (plus 12.3) measurements, it seems that the new driver is less capable below 30 Hz, and loses 4-5 db comparing to the old 12.1 driver at 20 Hz (20 Hz tune FR).... IMO, any frequency below 30 Hz is always welcome.... So, what happened???

As can be seen, the maximum output levels are about the same for the 12.1 and the 12.3. There is a difference in frequency response, but room gain adds as much as 12 dB per octave below 30 Hz and 15dB of boost at very low frequencies. So the award for flattest response (after including room gain) goes to the 12.3.
