Brand: SVS

#142 SVS SB13-Plus: $1,399 Discontinued eBay

Pros: A sealed 13 inch subwoofer with XLR and RCA inputs in a compact cube cabinet, now discontinued. Independent CEA-2010 testing records 92.3 dB at 20 Hz and 108.1 dB (avg of 3/4 bands) through 40-80 Hz. The sealed enclosure with 13” (330mm) driver delivers substantial upper-bass output for movie effects and music.

Cons: Deep-bass output is more limited than the strong 40-80 Hz result suggests, so it is not the right choice when the lowest movie effects are the priority. The 431.8H x 431.8W x 457.2D mm cabinet and 43.1 kg mass still require deliberate placement and calibration. Discontinued.

Is the SVS SB13-Plus right for you?

Skip it if

• you need to move it often (43 kg each).
