Introduction

SVSound is no stranger to the hallowed pages of Audioholics.com. Building their reputation on products with a high bang-for-the-buck value (and this small sub is one impressively big bang-for-the-buck product), they are renowned for their comparatively large products, such as the mighty SVS PB12Plus-/2 reviewed earlier in this web page.
