SVS SB16 Subwoofer Subwoofer (Active / Powered) Hi, im after an SB16 for use in my HT system. Must have packaging. Sydney location would be nice, but prepared to pay freight if required. regards, Condition: VGC or better. Payment Method: Region/State: (NSW) New South Wales/Australia By Ray H 5 Comments AUD $3,000 Date: February 24, 20251 yr
This A$3,000 asking price is ambitious, sitting well above the 75th percentile of A$1,852 for recent used AUD listings and significantly higher than the median of A$920. Even compared to open-box deals found around A$2,150–A$2,400, this listing demands a steep premium for a used unit. Unless the seller includes rare accessories or the condition is pristine original-owner, the value proposition is weak compared to the typical market.
The SVS SB16-Ultra is a legendary subwoofer, renowned for its 16-inch driver and 1,500W Sledge amplifier that delivers clean, deep bass down to 16 Hz. Its sealed-box design offers tight, accurate low-end performance ideal for home theater and music. If this unit is truly in excellent condition with the original warranty or extra cables, it remains a powerhouse worth considering, but only if the price drops closer to A$1,800 to match the top end of the used market.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
