Everyone should at least audition it, before even considering another brand.

Very good reading. I am currently torn between SVS and Paradigm. Ed Mullen did a excellent and glowing review of the Servo 15 v2 back in 2005. Did you ever hear/play with the Servo v2? I already have a Servo v1. My options are A - Replace Servo v1 with two PB12+ B - Add Servo v2 to Servo v1 Room Size 1400 cubic feet and sealed Suggentions/Comments would be most welcomed. - Nuno Wed, 20 Jan 2010 06:08:26 +0100 http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/subwoofers-products-menu-column1-41/592-svsound-pb-12-plus-subwoofer.html#comment-2440 Hello, I understand the pb13 is stronger, just looking at the driver itself the difference seems HUGE compared to the pb12. However, how does the smaller driver translate into SQ?? Does the PB12 have a lower group delay than the pb13? Did you make distortion measurements etc? - UNi Mon, 30 Nov 2009 23:29:40 +0100 http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/subwoofers-products-menu-column1-41/592-svsound-pb-12-plus-subwoofer.html#comment-2340 Thanks for the nice compliment. The PB and PC subs are almost identical in performance. The differences fall into the "measurable but not audible" category. The PC just gives you a choice with it's smaller footprint and lighter weight. It comes down to your room layout, WAF, placement options and the like. Performance will be at the same high level for both subs. - Chris Eberle Tue, 03 Nov 2009 04:24:19 +0100 http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/subwoofers-products-menu-column1-41/592-svsound-pb-12-plus-subwoofer.html#comment-2331 Very good review! I noticed that the PB12-Plus & PC12-Plus have very similar specs but a very different design... I'm wondering how those two models compare performance wise and if I would be better off with the PC12-Plus which has a lower price tag? I have a 2000 cu.ft room. Thanks! - John C.

It can move a serious amount of air! Of course there is always the PB13-Ultra if you want even more SPL. - Chris Eberle Wed, 26 Aug 2009 04:59:47 +0100 http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/subwoofers-products-menu-column1-41/592-svsound-pb-12-plus-subwoofer.html#comment-2124 Chris - Looking for a sub to provide powerful & accurate deep bass in a 4500 cu. ft room for around $1K..do you think the PB12-Plus will do the trick? Thank you in advance for your thoughts - - Bill Mon, 24 Aug 2009 23:01:55 +0100 http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/subwoofers-products-menu-column1-41/592-svsound-pb-12-plus-subwoofer.html#comment-1849 The PB-13 Ultra has a larger driver and more powerful amp. This translates to lower extension (down to 10hz) and higher SPL. There is also an additional room size compensation control. The response graphs are close, just with the added extension of the PB-13. The PB-13 also includes XLR inputs. - Chris Eberle Sun, 10 May 2009 23:25:12 +0100 http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/subwoofers-products-menu-column1-41/592-svsound-pb-12-plus-subwoofer.html#comment-1848 How does this sub compare to the SVS PB 13 ultra? - leroy Sat, 09 May 2009 12:36:42 +0100 http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/subwoofers-products-menu-column1-41/592-svsound-pb-12-plus-subwoofer.html#comment-1642 Greg, thanks for the compliment. My room is 1300 cubic feet and sealed. Audyssey takes care of the EQ and the sub level is set at -12db with the gain at 12 o'clock. I do have thick plaster walls and a layer of rockboard under the carpet. While not a true bass trap, it does smooth the response a bit. I don't think you'd be stressing your PB12 at all at your settings. I'm not sure why you have to turn it up so high if you have a lot of room gain. If the sound is good though then I'd say drive on! I would be curious to hear of your results if you used the 16Hz mode instead. The sealed mode starts a gentle rolloff at 40Hz. Perhaps the combination of your room gain and your high level setting are offsetting this. You might achieve the same frequency response in the 16Hz mode at a lower gain level. - Chris Eberle Thu, 05 Mar 2009 10:26:47 +0100 http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/subwoofers-products-menu-column1-41/592-svsound-pb-12-plus-subwoofer.html#comment-1637 Nice review. How small is your room? I recently bought the new PB-12 Plus as well. I also have a small room (1400 cubic feet, sealed). I have a ton of room gain, and tried it in sealed mode. My results were a completely flat response all the way down to 10hz with the combination of the sealed mode, plus a generous cut for a peak in the 25-28hz region. The only problem, is that in doing so, the calibrated sub is now at 1:00 on the sub, and +2db on my AVR. I am worried that even for this small room, I will be pushing the sub too much. Any thoughts? - Greg Tue, 03 Mar 2009 23:19:41 +0100
