thank you for talking about how it handles heavy metal like Pantera. its hard to find reviewers referring to metal and as this makes up 95% of my listening it is really helpful!!!
Thanks for the great review. I have the SVS prime wireless pro speakers and I am blown away by the clarity detail and just the overall sound: 4 class D amps, in a tidy black box, that seem to work magic. I ordered this sub, as opposed to rel or kef, because I want more of that sound - detailed, balanced, but fully capable of a punch in the gut.
Nice review Chris. I had the SVS SB1000 in my stereo system and 6 months later they came out with the SVS SB1000 Pro. You can trade up within one year, so I contacted SVS, sent pictures they requested and ordered two SB1000 Pro subs. The app makes setting up two subs so easy from my listening position.
Update: I bought two SVS 3000 Micro subs in their outlet store for $620 each plus 5% off for buying dual subs. Both subs had a minor scratch, but are barely visible. Very impressed with the power, bottom end and speed compared to the SVS SB1000 Pro. Moved one 1000 Pro to the garage stereo system.
Good review. I have a Hsu Research 10 in sub, supplied with a 250 watt amp, since 1998. It goes down flat to 25Hz. More than once, my wife has complained that it has rattled the dishes in the kitchen. It has no software, and is basically pug and play. I've never ad the need to readjust the level for different records or sources. Proper use of a sub, requires careful integration into your system, and should not call attention to itself. A sub, should NOT be used as a bass control. Inasmuch, as most music, doesn't have any extremely low bass, you should be unaware of the sub's presence, most of the time. When the really low bass is on the source, that is the only time, you should notice the sub.
I'm with you. At one point in my life I had custom DJ speakers built for my amp. Each cabinet had 2 15inch woofers. One 4 x 10 horn midrange. 5 Motorola tweeters. They were on wheels and covered in a material that I guess was okay to put a drink down on and just wipe it off. Fast forward I grew up and learned totally unnecessary, Over kill and got me in a world of trouble with nabors.
Great show Chris. Good purchase too. I have been sub-free several decades, after losing my big Velodyne . Definately ready to try again, couldn't help but keep an eye on this compact sub. Very tempting! How large is your listening room, if you please?
As long as the crossover of either sound identical you should be fine. The most important thing is for the crossover to overlap seamlessly I e. The hand off sounds identical in tone and timbre
@@thevinylattack Will you review it for us? Sure hope so. I've seen one review and it's been on the negative side. But I need more different opinions before I pull the trigger. thanks Bruce
On the svs 3000 micro, what is the svs soundpath wireless audio adapter port for on the back of the svs sub? And where do you get the cabel? Please share a link to get cabel. I live 2 miles away from Darrel's home off Sunnset in Dalworthington Gardens.
You use a normal “RCA” cable for subwoofers. You can buy a wireless kit from SVS for $120 more. A little box plugs in on the back and another box to your tv or receiver so you dont need a cable.
I couldn't go without a sub. When I were a lil nipper my dad had a prologic setup so I've gotten very atuned to bass. I currently have a Rel T5x on a high level input off the amps speaker terminals, this sounds a lot better than just using the RCA. I also have two of the low profile Yamaha subs under the computer desk. These aren't too great but good enough for flight sim and general gaming.
I use a sub woofer on a two channel system, and it does work out well for me. I thought that I want to look into is putting a sound bar on my computer for watching DVDs in 5.1. If adding a sound bar to a PC is do-able. That might sound rather out of context a comment on this particular subwoofer discussion. It comes from the fact that the 2.1 system is on my computer, and my turntable is attached to my computer via the audio input jack.
Usually 80- 85dB but sometimes with electronic music I'll push it up for a track or two. I am very aware of my hearing health and actually use a dB meter next to me when listening. I have both the Micro and the SB3000 and the extra headroom of the SB3000 is a factor people should be aware of when choosing size over performance.@@thevinylattack
Your sub $3000.00. My sub $40.00 10 inch Polk Audio from an SPCA Thrift Store. Hmmmmmm. I Like good sound but you audiophile guys are just crazy. I'm sure it sounds AMAZING but not $2,960.00 more amazing. Nice channel though. I just watched about 10 of your videos. The only what I would call "expensive" you would call probably entry level thing I own is my $280.00 AT cartridge. Bought it specifically for it's tracking abilities. I HATE INNER GROOVE DISTORTION! Now I don't have to hear it. I do need to get one of those anti static gizmos though. SUBBED!
Just get used. The kef htb2s are favorites of mine since they were designed for the the high end XQ series, as prototypes for new kef in general, and they play mids up to 350 as clear as a mid driver.

No problem.

This is the review I've been looking for. Perfectly done, and centered to music application. I think it'll be the perfect it behind my couch.
I'm glad you found it useful.
Thank you for your comments. I am intrigued with these subs. I want a little more bottom, I think two of these will do it. Thanks and great video.
I guarantee two of these will solve a lack of low end for sure.
I never had a sub woofer but now I am more inclined to want one. Also, this one would be then on my short list.
I'd fathom a guess that you'd quite like it.
@@thevinylattack JL Audio Fathom that is!

It's good to hear that the company stands by its word in the area of upgrades.

@@tonyvaldiconza3914 i am trying to decide between the two for living room home theater use. What did you notice between the two?

Easy to say...
I enjoy the visceral physicality of a good sub, but, it occurs to me, only when I'm alone.
Otherwise, I play nice.

Haha, who is this 'Dave'... 🤣
Nice review, much apreciated. Here in EU it comes down to $1240 (€1099) or about 37% more
Yikes, that's a bit of an increase for sure.
The grilles come pre-dented so ur kids and or dog can take a break
Great vid Chris....thank you .
Glad you enjoyed it.
Patiently waiting for your Humminguru review....!
Not long now...
Great show Chris. Good purchase too.

Very tempting!
How large is your listening room, if you please?
It's not huge, maybe 16 x 20 or so.
Mine is 30x20 and 16 feet tall.
Going to take quite a bit to pressurize it...
Very well done review sir. Count me in! I've subscribed.
Welcome aboard!
Terrific video
Thanks

It's definitely hard to go without once you're used to it.
Very nice and concise review, as usual. "....some guy named Dave".....sounds familiar.
Oh yeah, love my V.A. T-shirt!
I'm glad you liked it. It was a fun one to do.
Some guy named Dave. Well done.

I'm certain there are soundbars that connect to a pc. I'd imagine they sound pretty good for that sort of application.
Any chance you will review the KEF KC62? I would like to hear your opinion. I'm sure I'd be happy with both but I can't decide.
me too but i ve read the kc62 has issues at low level listening
If KEF will send me one, I'll happily review it.
No replacement for displacement. So if you are not limited to a compact subwoofer, go with a bigger one assuming it has good excursion.
Thumbs up @ 7:14
:-)
Would this sub be good with a sennheiser soundbar?
I wouldn't see why not.
There's no argument on having subs in a 2 ch system. It's always a yes :p
Do you think two micros would do OK in a 400sq ft space for 2 ch listening?
I think it'd probably be unnecessary, but it's up to you in the end.
2 subs in a coffin lmao? TF u on. 1 is plenty . use logics.
@@Matt-xy6cf ur a friendly guy.
@@backrack01 Yes friendly with logics based thought. Your videos you do well. I learned some new words watching as well being i suck at vocab. haha.
I got mangnepans, needless to say that I use subs for years.
They make a great combo.
How is this with movies?
I didn't use it in a home theater application.
Not much output overt 90dB. SB2000 Pro at same $900 has better performance, if you can handle the extra size/weight.
Why are you listening over 90dB?
Usually 80- 85dB but sometimes with electronic music I'll push it up for a track or two. I am very aware of my hearing health and actually use a dB meter next to me when listening. I have both the Micro and the SB3000 and the extra headroom of the SB3000 is a factor people should be aware of when choosing size over performance.@@thevinylattack
