Short answer: the Monoprice SW-15. It ranks #14 of 212 subwoofers by sound quality, rated 4.1/5, at $499.99; the SVS PB-2000 PRO ranks #39, rated 3.9/5, and costs $999, so there is not much of a tradeoff to weigh.
Why pick the Monoprice SW-15: A big 15 inch subwoofer with powerful, punchy bass at a budget price, great for movies in a large room. The catch: Budget-tier design, ported room gain dependency, 66.1 lbs (30 kg) mid-size, and limited dynamic headroom.
What the SVS PB-2000 PRO does well: A ported 12 inch subwoofer with big output and very deep extension for large rooms, plus app control with parametric EQ. Watch for: Response shows a 2 to 3dB dip around 25Hz, confirmed by separate measurements, and the rolloff starts near 50Hz.
Buy the Monoprice SW-15. It is rated higher for sound quality than the SVS PB-2000 PRO and costs less, so it is the default pick unless a specific strength of the other one matters more to you.
