What is the difference between a sealed and a ported subwoofer?
A sealed (acoustic suspension) subwoofer uses a closed cabinet for tight, accurate, fast bass, which suits two-channel hi-fi and music listening. A ported (bass reflex) subwoofer adds a tuned port for deeper extension and higher output, which suits home theatre and larger rooms. SVS pairs the two directly, for example the sealed SB-1000 Pro, SB-2000 Pro and SB-3000 R Evolution against the ported PB-1000 Pro, PB-2000 Pro and PB-3000 R Evolution, so you can choose accuracy or maximum impact.
What is the best subwoofer for a two-channel hi-fi music system?
For music, a sealed subwoofer that blends seamlessly with your speakers is ideal. The SVS SB-1000 Pro and SB-2000 Pro deliver clean, articulate low bass in a compact cabinet, the Wharfedale WH-D10 acoustic suspension is a refined choice for stereo, and the PSB CSIR Sub adds tuneful depth to a hi-fi setup. All integrate smoothly with bookshelf or floorstanding speakers for a full-range sound. In stock at Vinyl Sound with Canada-wide shipping.
Which SVS subwoofer should I choose?
SVS builds two families at each level. The SB models are sealed for tight, musical bass, and the PB models are ported for deeper, louder output. Step up through the 1000 Pro, 2000 Pro and 3000 R Evolution as room size and output needs grow, with extension reaching below 20 Hz on the larger models. For a compact room, the SVS 3000 Micro R Evolution packs dual 9-inch drivers into a small cabinet. Vinyl Sound stocks the full SVS subwoofer range in Canada.
Do you have compact or wireless subwoofers for small rooms?
Yes. The Klipsch Flexus SUB 100 is a compact 10-inch wireless subwoofer that pairs easily with a soundbar system, the Kanto 8-inch sealed powered subwoofer is a small, accessible entry point for desktop and stereo setups, and the SVS 3000 Micro R Evolution delivers deep bass from a cabinet small enough to hide. These are great starting options when floor space is limited, all available for the best price across Canada.
How much power and what driver size do I need in a subwoofer?
It depends on room size and how loud you listen. Our subwoofers range from 8-inch drivers up to 16-inch, with amplifier power from around 200 watts to 2,500 watts peak. Smaller rooms and music-first systems do well with an 8 to 10-inch sealed sub like the Kanto 8-inch or SVS SB-1000 Pro, while larger home theatre rooms benefit from a 12-inch or larger ported design such as the Klipsch THX-1200-SW or SVS PB-3000 R Evolution. Vinyl Sound can match the right subwoofer to your room by appointment.
