Description

So I finally decided and upgraded my subwoofer to dual SVS SB16 Ultras in piano gloss black(I have not added pics yet) and I’m Very happy I did. My impressions are they look absolutely beautiful in the piano gloss finish. On the audio side, they blend very well with my Martin Logan fronts. They are excellent for 2 channel listening as they really do a great job at extending the bass of my speakers without bringing attention to them....they simply disappear. For movies these things are an absolute beast. The bass is fast, tight, powerful and extremely deep and provides a sense of realism to sound effects like explosions and crashes. Absolutely thrilled with my purchase. I was also looking at JL Audio Fathom F212 v2 or F113v2, and REL G1 MKII and went with SVS because of the price to performance factor. Also forgot to mentioned that the mobile app is a nice feature as it allows for on the fly adjustments from your seating position and you have the visuals on the screen to look at what your doing as oppose to just knobs.

Thanks to you both for your insight and suggestions. The SVS is obvious choice in term of price to performance. It also seems very flexible to interface with the subs whether by the front panel, remote or smartphone app. I will report back once I have made my decision.

Thanks for the compliments and suggestions. My BPS400 sun is in the right corner and I never gave it a thought with switching it to the other side until you mentioned it which make a lot of sense... I’ll will give some serious consideration on your suggestions. As for the subs the ones you mentioned from REL, JL and SVS are on my short list. I’m leaning dual SVS SB16 ultra for the price but do you think JL audio or REL signicantly better or marginal?
