jordan122345 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) Okay so originally I was looking between the klipsch r115sw and the svs pb2000. Now that a few of you have chimed in and showed the better values out there. I am now looking between the hsu Vtf15 mk2 and the psa v1500 which are in the same price range and only $300 more than the 2 I was originally looking at. I also remeasured my living room and it is 12'deep and 22' wide and opens up into a smaller kitchen. So opinions would be awesome. Thanks ron Edited March 9, 2015 by jordan122345 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coleman Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Haven't heard either but I own a SVS SB13 Ultra and that sub is the backbone of my system. Like it so much I'm gonna buy another sooner than later. I vote PB2000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceptorman Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 If the specs are similar, I'd say stay with Klipsch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shodrewken Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I don't think you can go wrong either way, if you can swing it, buy both compare the two, then send the one you don't end up keeping back. I know SVS, has a pretty fantastic return policy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derrickdj1 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 After buying a new to me receiver a few minutes ago buying both,is,not an option It is strange when you are looking for one item, you end up looking at other stuff. I try to stay out of the Grarage Sale thread. Money has a way of burning in our hands, lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappydue Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 It's gonna be hard to find someone with experience on both asntheynare both fairly new products. My vote goes for the Svs. Read their bill of rights. If that don't sell you alone then go with the klipsch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordan122345 Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 It wasn't even in the garage sale section which makes it worse But looking closer at the specs on the 2 subs there is some differences Klipsch r115sw 15" 400 watts rms/800 watts and is 18hz-125hz Svs pb2000 12" 500 watts rms/1100 watts peak and is 17hz-260hz So just on specs alone is there gonna be a sound difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordan122345 Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) They do have an awesome return policy and trade up policy for sure Edited March 6, 2015 by jordan122345 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappydue Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Your overthinking it. Both will be good. Svs has a track record with awesome subs. I say order and if you aren't saisfied or have any doubt then send it back and get the klipsch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jordan122345 Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 Oh I see. So how big of a difference is that 260hz vs the 125hz is it really possible that the svs goes that much higher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusaDude Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Oh I see. So how big of a difference is that 260hz vs the 125hz is it really possible that the svs goes that much higher In real world listening it won't matter because the sub will be crossed over (via the AVR) and only play the frequencies below 80Hz or so... And the extra 100 watts of power in the SVS is very minimal in regards to continuos output. In reality it would net you just less than 1 dB more than the Klipsch. As every 3 dB increase in SPL output requires double the power. Having said that SVS built their reputation on quality subs and you're unlikely to find a better price/performance ratio... unless you build something yourself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordan122345 Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 Well I suck at building anything so DIY is out. And I do like the fact of being able to trade in plus all the other bill of rights stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shodrewken Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 SVS is a great choice, just be careful though, one sub usually leads to two =) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
