 Yes, the Outlaw cabinet is nicer. While the actual black satin finish isn't anything to write home about., it's got the clear glossy top which looks better than a plain black ugly box of the SVS PB12NSD. Due to the Outlaw's more tall slimmer appearance, if you put a lamp on it..it almost looks like a solid end table and because it don't have a grill that you can see, it doesn't look like a speaker. I'd be happy to use the Outlaw in plain view in my living room but not the SVS
And yes, the down firing configuration is better. With ports firing down, you have just a bit more fleixibility how you point the speaker. Since ports effectively produce sound, you have to be aware that you shouldn't have other objects blocking them. With kids around, a downfiring sub is far more kid friendly so can place the sub even where the kids normally play, they can bump into it all day long. I'd be more likely to want to put the SVS where kids can't accidentally jam their toys into the speaker. Therefore more flexiblity. |
OK I might give you that the appearance of the Outlaw in this scenario is nicer.
And I can see your point about kids, and toys. But that is it on that subject.
