+1 on the SB1000 Pro, but I’d absolutely get 2 at about $1150 for the pair if it’s in your budget. Hey, with SVS’s generous and risk-free return policy you could try two and send back one or both if they don’t work out, but my bet is you’ll keep both. FWIW, and best of luck.
Odd subwoofer question.
I am not a sub woofer guy. Have played around with a few. Both high end and mid level. They never did much for my primary system (Aerial Acoustics 7B towers, AR tube pre, Levinson amp). But, I don’t really know anything about subs or how to optimize them.
Anyway, in my living room my secondary system for casual listening consists of a pair of inherited Aerial Acoustics 6T towers driven by a Sonos Amp. I know. Long story. But in truth the Sonos Amp does a really good job and ties the 6Ts into the house system.
I’d say 75% of the time I am totally happy with how this system sounds. At times I’m amazed how good it sounds. But, sometimes I do wonder if a sub would add anything.
My audio fetish is tight, precise bass.
I’m looking for advice on a sub woofer to try. Given the nature of this system I am not looking for anything high end or complicated. But also wondering if a modestly priced sub is just going to muddy the waters. All advice appreciated.
The Sonos Amp does have sub output.
Thanks.

I’d strongly encourage you to at least try a sub as the benefits go well beyond adding bass and also greatly enhance imaging, soundstage, and overall sense of space. The SVS 1000 Pro is only about 13” square and 15” depth, will get you down to an honest 20Hz (-3dB), comes with integration software, and this one available on their Outlet is only $575 with free shipping. And you get a 45-day trial period so if it doesn’t work out for you (or your wife) you can simply return it with free return shipping. Just trying to help as I know what a sub can do and think it’s at least worth giving a shot especially when SVS makes it so painless. They also have great customer support if you ever need help with integration, etc. (probably can’t do much about the wife though). Ok, that’s all I got and hope you get a chance to at least give a sub a try. |
