Short answer: a tie on sound quality. Both are rated 3.7/5 (#109 and #108 of 212 subwoofers) at nearly the same price ($1,099.99 vs $1,099), so choose on features and fit.
Why pick the KEF Kube 12 MIE: Sealed 12-inch front-firing driver with 300W Class-D power managed by KEF Music Integrity Engine DSP. The tradeoff: While deep and controlled for music, its 300W amplifier provides lower headroom for extreme reference movie volume compared to high-power competitor subwoofers with 800W+ amplifiers in the same price range.
The case for the SVS PC-2000 Pro: Ported 12-inch driver in a cylinder cabinet that takes up less floor space than a box of similar output, driven by a 550W RMS (1,500W peak) Sledge amplifier. Watch for: No independent measurements yet, so its output can’t be compared with ranked subwoofers.
Buy the KEF Kube 12 MIE or the SVS PC-2000 Pro on features: they are rated the same for sound quality at close to the same price.
About the ratings: neither speaker has been measured yet, so both ratings are estimated from measured siblings and predecessors (likely ranges: KEF Kube 12 MIE 3.5 to 3.9; SVS PC-2000 Pro 3.5 to 3.9). Treat this verdict as provisional.

The Two Speakers In Full
KEF Kube 12 MIE: $1,099.99 Estimated Amazon KEF eBay
Same family: the KEF Kube 8 MIE (smaller subwoofer, estimated 3.6/5), the KEF Kube 10 MIE (smaller subwoofer, estimated 3.7/5) and the KEF Kube 15 MIE (larger subwoofer, ranked higher, estimated 3.8/5). See every KEF Kube generation.
Pros: Sealed 12-inch front-firing driver with 300W Class-D power managed by KEF Music Integrity Engine DSP. Reaches 22Hz to 140Hz (±3dB) with a peak SPL of 114dB. Three room placement presets (in-room, wall, corner) and line/speaker-level inputs provide straightforward setup for stereo and multichannel music systems.
Cons: While deep and controlled for music, its 300W amplifier provides lower headroom for extreme reference movie volume compared to high-power competitor subwoofers with 800W+ amplifiers in the same price range.

SVS PC-2000 Pro: $1,099.00 Estimated Amazon eBay
Older models: the SVS PC-2000 (ranked higher, rated 3.7/5) and the SVS PC12-NSD (ranked lower, rated 3.6/5). See every SVS subwoofers generation.
Same family: the SVS PB-1000 PRO (smaller subwoofer, ranked higher, rated 3.8/5), the SVS PB-2000 PRO (smaller subwoofer, ranked higher, rated 3.9/5), the SVS SB-1000 PRO (smaller subwoofer, rated 3.7/5) and the SVS SB-2000 Pro (smaller subwoofer, ranked higher, rated 3.8/5).
Pros: Ported 12-inch driver in a cylinder cabinet that takes up less floor space than a box of similar output, driven by a 550W RMS (1,500W peak) Sledge amplifier. SVS rates it at 16-290Hz within 3dB in its standard mode. App control and the SoundPath isolation system are included.
Cons: No independent measurements yet, so its output can’t be compared with ranked subwoofers. At 34.3 inches tall it is more conspicuous than a box subwoofer, and ported output does not solve room modes on its own.
