SV Sound (SVS) PB12-Ultra/2 Subwoofer

SVS displayed and demoed at CES, their most powerful subwoofer in their lineup. In a dedicated room, they did a 7.1 demo featuring their new SBS-01 speaker package comparing their normal PB12-Ultra with their flagship Ultra/2 subwoofer product using the tapping glass scene from Finding Nemo. On the Ultra, the pounding of the girls finger shook the room with aplomb. With the Ultra/2 engaged it did so even more, but you could also feel the enormous tactile response which had me convinced they were using bass shakers under the couch. When I peered down below the couch, I saw nothing so either they were using invisible bass shakers or this sub is so powerful that they weren't needed. Taking a quick glance at the Ultra/2's specifications, its easy to see why it was responsible for such incredible tactile response.

This refrigerator sized subwoofer has everything but the kitchen sink, though due to its enormous size, you could certainly add that in if you like. On a serious note, the Ultra/2 requires a lot of real estate, but in return will reward you with unparalleled bass extension and tactile response. This sub isn't for the faint at heart, so heed this warning when entertaining small children or the elderly.
