Short answer: the Rythmik FV15HP, if you are buying new. The SVS PB-3000 measures as well as it (#58 vs #55 of 143 subwoofers, 4.2/5 vs 4.2/5) but is discontinued, so only consider it used; the Rythmik FV15HP is still sold new at $2,127. The SVS PB-3000’s replacement, the SVS PB-3000 R|Evolution, is rated 4.2/5 at $1,799.
The case for the Rythmik FV15HP: A 15 inch ported subwoofer with output matching pricier rivals, plus balanced and RCA inputs for flexible setups. The catch: Premium price ($2127), ported design room gain dependency, and mid-to-large 114.6 lbs (52 kg) footprint.
Why pick the SVS PB-3000: A 13 inch ported subwoofer with deep, strong bass for movies in a large room, in a manageable size. Watch for: The 556.3H x 464.8W x 596.9D mm cabinet and 82.2 lbs (37.3 kg) mass make this a serious placement and moving commitment.
Buy the Rythmik FV15HP new; the SVS PB-3000 is no longer sold new, so it only makes sense as a used find.
