Short answer: the Monoprice SW-15. It ranks #14 of 212 subwoofers by sound quality (rated 4.1/5) at $499.99 and is still sold new; the SVS PC-2000 ranks #87 (rated 3.7/5) and is discontinued, so it is only an option used. The SVS PC-2000’s replacement, the SVS PC-2000 Pro, is rated 3.7/5 at $1,099.
The Monoprice SW-15 is the better-sounding pick. A big 15 inch subwoofer with powerful, punchy bass at a budget price, great for movies in a large room. Watch for: Budget-tier design, ported room gain dependency, 66.1 lbs (30 kg) mid-size, and limited dynamic headroom.
What the SVS PC-2000 does well: A corner friendly cylinder subwoofer with a 12 inch driver, deep rated extension and switchable sealed or ported modes. The tradeoff: It costs a lot for 113.9dB between 40 and 80Hz.
Buy the Monoprice SW-15. It is rated higher for sound quality and still sold new, while the SVS PC-2000 is discontinued.
