What home theater system could be complete without a subwoofer? Only a few full range tower speakers can really compensate for what a good subwoofer can offer. With today’s movie formats, subwoofers make up a large portion of the sound which the director intended you to hear. A subwoofer truly brings a movie to life. SVS Sound is a company that built their reputation on amazing products that perform far above their price point. The SVS 20-39 PC-Plus is unquestionably one of the most affordable heavy hitters on the market today.

Not really knowing what to expect, I selected a familiar movie that was sure to be a sub killer. Shocked at the performance of my newly installed sub, I was even more amazed that it seemed to disappear when reproducing jaw dropping bass. I couldn’t tell where the low frequency was being generated which is far too often the case when listening to poorly designed, lower quality subwoofers. With massive amounts of air forced through the cabinet’s ports and the structural integrity being brutalized by the heart pounding SPL levels, there wasn’t a hint of weakness. One of my fellow home theater hobbyists commented on the SVS 20-39 PC-Plus aesthetics, as he jokingly put “it looks like the trash can from hell”. The 20-39 PC-Plus could be considered to some as a conception conjured up by a team of mad scientists with the sole purpose of market domination. Am I being bold? Yes, but I assure you I am not far off the truth. SVS would not only humiliate your equally priced sub, but the experience will leave you mortified that you ever considered another manufacturer. I am confident that when you witness the awesome power of this Frankenstein of a sub; you will be hard pressed to find any flaws. The unique cylindrical design offers a small foot print, allowing it to be placed where conventional designs simply wouldn’t fit.
