At A$1,750, this SVS PB13 Ultra sits just below the median of A$1,785 from recent AUD comps, making it a fair price rather than a bargain, since it is above the 25th percentile of A$1,689 but well under the 75th percentile of A$1,811. You are paying right in the sweet spot of the current used market for this model in Australia.
The PB13 Ultra remains a legendary home theater sub for its massive 13-inch driver and 750-watt Bash amp, delivering room-shaking low-end with authority that still rivals newer units. Its rarity as a former flagship and proven long-term durability make this a solid buy at this price, especially if the listing includes the original stand or cables. With no red flags on condition noted, this is a genuine buying opportunity for anyone wanting serious bass without the new-subwoofer markup.

SVS Sound emerged in 1998 from a garage in Youngstown, Ohio, founded by a team of passionate audio engineers frustrated with overpriced, underwhelming subwoofers. Headquartered in the U.S., the brand disrupted the market by selling high-quality subs directly to consumers online, bypassing traditional retail markups while leveraging American manufacturing and cutting-edge engineering. This direct-to-consumer model, combined with rigorous testing, quickly established SVS as a force in affordable performance audio.
The company specializes in subwoofers, which remain its cornerstone with five dedicated lines from the entry-level 1000 series to the flagship Ultra series, but has expanded into full-range speakers, wireless audio devices, and cables. Under President and CEO Gary Yacoubian, SVS delivers sophisticated technology and immersive sound across home theater and hi-fi categories, prioritizing precision drivers, advanced amplification, and real-world optimization without venturing into amplifiers, turntables, DACs, or headphones.
SVS holds a commanding position as the world's top subwoofer brand and a leading "bang-for-the-buck" speaker maker, blending reference-level performance with mid-tier pricing to appeal to discerning buyers seeking high-end results on a budget. No longer just a niche disruptor, it boasts global reach through online and retail channels, earning acclaim for democratizing exceptional audio.
