Reviews on SVS SB/PB 3000, Paradigm's seismic 110 subwoofer

I haven't heard the Seismic 100, so I am unable to comment. I chose SVS because they offer a 45 day trial period and free return shipping, and they will give you a 100% trade in allowance if you want to upgrade within one year of purchase. 

The generous trial period that SVS offers made it an easy decision to try two subs. I found the difference between one and two subs to be substantial in my room and system, enough to justify sticking with two subs. YMMV. 

I don't have experience with either of those subs, but in general, you're going to get more bang for the buck buying internet direct (although SVS does sell through retail also).  You're paying a lot for distribution and dealer markup on the Paradigm sub.

I currently have two SVS SB13 Ultras in my system and have also owned a few other SVS subs.  I'd also recommend taking a look at Rythmik (my first choice for music) and Power Sound Audio (run by one of the founders of SVS).

Thanks all for your ideas. The Paradigm Seismic 110 boasts high excursion and very deep bass 'for its size'. I'm always concerned when anything is spoken of in those terms however I guess I'm being greedy for wanting rumbling bass in my 4G films as well as clear reproduction when I'm hearing bass in a symphony orchestra and of course, the canons at the end of the '1812 Overture'. But I guess I can be excused a bit b/c I'm a violin teacher and sound is everything!!! I have read about the Rhythmik subs and they are interesting. Any more ideas?? Maybe subs I don't know about??

Thanks all for your input! I appreciate it. Happy listening!
