Short answer: the SVS SB-3000. It ranks #15 of 212 subwoofers by sound quality, rated 4.1/5, at $1,199. The SVS PC-2000 Pro ranks #108, rated 3.7/5, at $1,099, $100 cheaper, a saving that is not big enough to make up the sound-quality gap.
Why pick the SVS PC-2000 Pro: A tall cylinder subwoofer with a 12 inch driver that saves floor space, with app control and isolation feet. The catch: No independent measurements yet, so its output can’t be compared with ranked subwoofers.
The SVS SB-3000 is the better-sounding option. A well made sealed subwoofer with tight, accurate bass and handy app controls, great for music and medium rooms. Watch for: Being sealed, it gives up deep-bass output: Audioholics measured 96.6dB at 20Hz and 101.7dB at 25Hz, about 15dB behind the ported SVS PB-3000 from the same series, so a large room or reference-level movie bass may call for a second sub.
Buy the SVS SB-3000. It is rated higher for sound quality, and saving $100 with the SVS PC-2000 Pro does not make up for the sound-quality gap.
About the ratings: the SVS PC-2000 Pro’s rating is estimated from measured siblings and predecessors rather than its own measurements, with a likely range of 3.5 to 3.9, so this verdict could change once it is measured.
