SVS SB-4000
Review Date: April 23, 2018
By: Chris Heinonen
Since moving to a new house, I’ve been unable to find subwoofer bliss. I had an SVS PB-1000, but the 10” driver was no longer powerful enough for me and I wanted more. I also have been using a dual 15” subwoofer from Power Sound Audio, but for a smaller …
