Where I Purchased - Best Buy

Price Paid - $1,430 (Open Box)

Quality - 10

I’ve only given out one or two 10 scores but I have honestly never had a subwoofer that was built to this quality.

The gloss is perfect, the driver feels as sturdy, the amp is hugely powerful and it comes with an app and a LED screen.

Just beautifully constructed!

Bass - 9.5

This sub produces some of the strongest and deepest bass I’ve ever personally experienced. Trying to use this beast in a small duplex is like having a 911 Turbo S and never going above 60 with it.

It reminds me of a caged animal!

MSRP Rating - 8.0

No doubt about it, $2,000 is a ton of money on a single sub, especially with brands like HSU & Rythmik out there, but you undoubtedly get a top quality subwoofer for the price.

Aesthetics - 9.5

This is a beautiful subwoofer, especially if you like dust-capless subs, gloss black and blue LED lights:)

It is very compact and beautiful!

Price Paid Value - 9.0

For me to spent this much money on a subwoofer, just to review it, won’t happen often but I have no doubt I will be able to get all my money out of it, when I’m finished.

I’ve just had better deals, like the Rythmik and the HSU subs I recently reviewed.

Final Thoughts -

Is it cheap? No. Is there better performance for the money? Yes.

Will you be able to find a higher quality subwoofer, this compact, in this price range, with this performance? No. At least you will be very hard pressed to do better.

This is a beautiful looking, compact and high quality subwoofer will meet or exceed 99% of people’s needs.

Well done SVS!
