Svs sub : should i go with sb13 ultra or pb 13


Hi, guys. In a hifi perspective, what is better : sealed subwoofer (sb13 ultra - svs) or ported sub (pb13 ultra - svs) ?

In general, a sealed sub is considering more linear.... But in the same time stereophile considered the ported sub sp13-ultra really good.... I am confused.

What is your opinion or experience on this subjet ?

I had two SB-2000's and they hit low with those rumbly notes that seem to crawl around on the floor when you encounter them - but I never quite got them to integrate well with my Buchardt S400's.  I got a REL T/7i and quickly had it dialed in.  It doesn't rattle the walls or the dishes so you do lose that swampy bottom if that's what you look for.
