Compare to SVS SB12-NSD

I had previously tried three small 8" subwoofers and then came across the rave reviews of the PSW10. It was as good as they say 200% better than anything what I had previously. I was so impressed with the musical performance (thickness and precision) that I started planning something even better. Many audiophile forums have claimed that the SVS SB12-NSD is light years ahead of the PSW10, though it costs five times as much. After hacking into my new SVS, I found these claims grossly exaggerated. The biggest difference, of course, is that the 12" screen can get to 15 Hz, which I like, but may not be for everyone Flavor is.On all other parameters, PSW10 was 90% better than SVS at a significantly lower cost of 20%.When I say 90% quality, I mean I got a range of both subwoofers I had to play n songs next to each other and subjectively I gave SVS 10% more density. Maybe some audiophiles think the last 10% improves day and night, but I'll just call it 10% as it's only really noticeable when comparing pages. In conclusion, I agree with many other reviewers that you can't go wrong with PSW10. Nothing compares to it in its price range.

Pros
  • Very impressive
