Face-Off - SVS PB10-ISD Takes On A Few Contenders

[Wayne A. Pflughaupt]

Either one should do nicely in a room that size, but you might want to check with SVS's customer service dept. I hear they're really helpful.

Regards,

Actually I have contacted Steve at SVS and his suggestion was at the very least a PB-12 Plus would be best suited for my room size. I was just wishfully thinking that I could get away with a less expensive option and be satisfied but the more I research the subject of subwoofers the more I'm inclined to simply wait a bit longer and purchase the PB-12 Plus so as not to regret buying a sub too small for my enjoyment.

Thanks to Wayne for this review!
I am starting to put together a 2.1 music only (100% music) system and have been reading reviews and listening to everything I can. I haven't been happy with the bass I've been hearing; however professional reviews of the same sub will talk as if it is an excellent sub for music. Wayne's is the first review I've read which addresses the detail shortcoming of modern subwoofers. The ones I've listened to just can't compete with my big old acoustic suspension speakers for detail and Wayne addressed this in his review which will no doubt save me tremendous time and perhaps, several misguided upgrades as I try to get a good bass sound.

My thanks to Wayne for this review and to this forum for providing a venue for it!

Hi everyone. I own a couple of Infinitys but the 10" versions, PS10's. The last one I bought was $207 to my door and I'm pretty sure that the PS12's/PS212's can be had for a lot less on line than the CC list. That puts a different spin on things. I'm very happy to hear that the Infinity wasn't total garbage. I'm also inspired to hunt down info pertaining to the Shiva's used as reference.

Thanks for the review, Wayne.
