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 ?

hi guys,

first, thanks for your posts. i really appreciate.

About your recommandations :

i have Reference 3A (grand veena) speakers. These speakers are for me incredible 'cause they have a huge Soundstage. I planned to use a Dspeaker dual core for the speakers not for the subwoofer considering that SVS's subwoofer have a parametric EQ. So i just need a sound analyser to adjust the sound's sub.

About your recommandation to use 2 subwoofers, i not sure that i could go with that configuration (space issue)

But about the initial subject, what sort of subwoofer i need to used (sealed or ported) in an audiophile perspective (only), i have noticed that you have different opinions.

Rel designed only Sealed sub, in the same time Wilson audio did a ported subwoofer (Thor's Hammer - i had a chance to listen it, and trust me it's fanstastic)

So, if they 're sealed and ported subwoofer on the HI-FI's market, did it means that the choice must be oriented by the size of the listening room (12 x 23 ft in my case) ?
