Purchased this from Hey Now hifi June this year. After reading many reviews, the SVS app won me over. I wanted to learn and try doing some REW measurements and integrating the sub, flattening the bass response. I managed to do so, where the sub cannot really be heard, but bass details came out a ...
Is A$1,000 a fair entry point for this sub, or is it one of those rare used listings that actually undercuts the market? Against the recent AUD comps, it lands below the A$1,344 median and just above the A$998 25th percentile, so this reads as a solid buy rather than an overreach.
That makes sense for a well-regarded compact sub that’s prized for tight, fast bass and easy placement in smaller rooms. If it’s clean, working properly, and includes the original amp plate, grille, and remote/app setup details if applicable, the value is strong; the main thing to confirm is that there’s no amp hiss, driver damage, or port/finish wear that would blunt the deal.
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.
