I had the model above this and sold it. The bass was all over the place and it was nearly a rumble (I used to have REL so annoyingly any sub I buy will compared with that).

Use this with a quite top-endish Yamaha PianoBlack Micro-system for TV audio. Set at the right level, it gives subtle bass enhancement without sounding artificial. I paid £69 at Richer Sounds.

I bought this last January for the same price from Richer Sounds, and it gives out a really good sound when coupled with 2 side speakers.

Yamaha RX-A3030 and Nakamichi AVP Power Amp powering MS Aviano 8 surround speaker package. Sounds Awesome :sunglasses:
The PB16 Ultra is new to the SVS range. This supersedes my powerhouse so might be time for an upgrade :man:
I'm also on the lookout for a good surround system. That yamaha 1810 that's been linked to, how would it benefit from this if it already has a sub?

This is a great sub. I have one in my bedroom but you wont be annoying any neighbors with it. You will need to spend a least 5x this much to annoy the neighbous and at least 10x to have them coming around knocking on your door.

Omg nice piece of KIT;
PB16-Ultra
The ultimate reference standard for bass, PB16-Ultra features a massive 16” Ultra driver with astonishing 8” edge wound voice coil, a stunningly powerful 1,500 watts continuous, 5,000+ watts peak power Sledge amplifier with fully discrete MOSFET output, triple 3.5” front-firing high-flow ports and an innovative subwoofer control and DSP smartphone app with custom presets for precision tuning.
Cris_kis1, what have you got running with this beast/surround set up or separates? Don't know why I'm asking can't justify big bucks grrrrrrrrr Guttediam :disappointed:

I have this with Polk Audio T1600 and a Yamaha RX V677. I preferred this to the subwoofer that came with the Polks. It's not one to shake the room but the bass was a lot cleaner. I bought it for about £120, this is a bargain.

Yes I've got a Yamaha soundbar and also wonder if I could do with this?....

If your soundbar doesn't have a sub already then you should get a significant improvement. Both companies are good with returns if you aren't impressed
50w, yeah. No idea about the rest of the system though, sorry

I was about to buy but noticed it has no auto on/off. Bit of a pain & ultimately a deal breaker, unfortunately.
