HXOS+ SoundVision (Greece) Review the SB13-Ultra Subwoofer
"The SB13 is a subwoofer to have a good time with, a speaker that nails you to your listening room and makes you want to watch more movies, throw more parties and listen to more music. It is accurate, speedy and doesn’t spout. It brings out elements in movies that would otherwise go unnoticed. Explosions acquire intense, falls are persuasive, and music is deeper than ever. Everything sounds exciting."

HomeTheaterReview.com Reviews the SB13-Ultra Subwoofer
"I found the bass to be authoritative, while at the same time complimentary to the mids and highs. From the bass guitar to the djembes and piano, every low-frequency element was well fleshed out and engaging… With a sub of this caliber, you'll surely make enemies of your neighbors, but you'll have so much fun doing so that it's totally worth it. The bottom line is that the SVS SB13-Ultra is a meaningful audio component that's worth every penny of its $1,599 asking price.I found the bass to be authoritative, while at the same time complimentary to the mids and highs.

Home Theater Shack reviews the SB-13 Ultra Subwoofer
"It is not just the aesthetics. It is not just the power. It is not just the precision and it is not just the level of detail that can be heard in the VLF range. It is all of these things combined that make the SB13 Ultra my Sub Zone Reviewer's Choice. There is simply no better performing subwoofer in its class."

"Knowing that there is a subwoofer that can reproduce incredibly dynamic bass with as much clarity, precision and 'Refined Brutality' for less than $2K ($1599 with free shipping to be exact) is a testament to the commitment of the SVS team and they should be applauded for it."
