There are a lot of different opinions regard SVS subwoofers. I own a SB3000 which I have low pass filter set at 33hz with my Dynaudio Emit 50s. I had tried several crossover settings from 50hz as recommended by SVS down to 40-42hz as recommended by my dealer. After an enjoyable afternoon of experimenting, when I settled on 33hz, the speakers disappeared. My room is 12 x 22 with 8 ft ceiling. I also have four GIK Soffit Bass Traps in the front corners. The volume level on the sub is set at -20. The soundstage is deep and wide with great clarity. Everything sounds so much better. I think the subs you have now could achieve similar results with a little tweaking on placement and settings.
Seeking to Upgrade Subwoofer from SVS SB2000
My system consists of the following:
Martin Logan 11A Impressions loud speakers, Bryston 4B3 cubed amplifier, Rogue Audio Tube preamp, Lumin U2 mini streamer with LHY power supply, Chord Qutest DAC with S Booster Power supply. I have 2 SVS subwoofers model SB-1000, each retailing for $350.00. My upgrade sub budget for 2 subs are $1000.00 total. The Martin Logan is adjusted properly and I find the bass a bit weak. The current 2 subs help, but I would like to do better. Thank you.
