LENC's Black Ash SVS PB-1000 Review:
The SVS PB 1000 simply put, is an excellent value and top-performing subwoofer for both your Hi-Fi and home theatre needs. Priced at a little over $1000, it offers excellent low-end bass extension, easy integration and a beautiful black ash finish.
We typically don't like the word 'musical' as a descriptive term but in this instance, it applies to the PB 1000 due to its impressive performance in both Hi-Fi and home cinema settings. All-in-all, this is one of the best subwoofers you'll come across at close to a thousand dollars.
Product Details:
A ported box home theatre subwoofer with 10-inch high output driver and 300 watts RMS, 700+ watts peak power amplifier, the SVS PB 1000 ported subwoofer in premium black ash delivers ground-shaking SPL output and subterranean low-frequency extension without sacrificing detail and accuracy.
The PB-1000 is an anomaly in the world of subwoofers. It plays below the levels of human hearing, down to 19Hz and lower, yet costs a fraction of what subwoofers with similar low-frequency extension and output go for. Simply put, it’s the deepest, most effortless and authoritative bass you’ll find for under $500. No subwoofer comes close to offering this level of low-frequency performance value.
