#55 SVS PB16-Ultra: $2,900 Discontinued eBay
Pros: Independent CEA-2010 testing records 116.8 dB at 20 Hz and 121.2 dB through 40-80 Hz. The ported, front enclosure with 16” (406mm) driver with ported design has the headroom for demanding film bass in a large room.
Cons: The 635.0H x 551.2W x 718.8D mm cabinet and 79.2 kg mass make this a serious placement and moving commitment. Ported output does not solve room modes, so careful placement and calibration remain essential. Discontinued.
How it compares: Just above it: Harbottle Audio C24 L1 - $3344 more. Just below it: Monoprice Monolith 13 THX Ultra - $1200 cheaper.
