They are just good in terms of performance. Good output, good low end performance, good pricing. There are brands than can match SVS, but in general they are just a safe buy. Especially at the entry level they are strong.
Do you really only have room for such a small sub?Thanks for all the insight. Eventually I am thinking of adding a SVS 3000 Micro to go with my Focal Aria 926 speakers that are paired with a Parasound P6 Preamp.

Square rooms can be fun for subs. I just can't imagine spending that much on a sub of that capability unless I needed a very small footprint, like under a desk or something.16'x16' The P6 with the 926 Focals are awesome. Just thinking of the future.
I like my Polk HTS 12, the down firing port works particularly well. Sadly I've not seen a review with measurements for it.In general, I would say a major part of the SVS Love-Fest is due to their Customer Bill Of Rights and generally very good customer service, overall.
Comparing to Klipsch and Polk (for the most part, as there are some exceptions with newer Klipsch Subs), there IS an absolute difference that can be seen in honest measurements. Most of those lower tier Klipsch and Polk Subs earned the moniker of Fart Box.

Yeah i had towers in a small room back then for low end, i can imagine subs were pretty basic in regards to options ...i never even saw them as anything but strictly ht in those days...Back then there was no room correction or bass EQ really

Isn't that a dual 8" driver set up..??... If so, that's a big difference from a single ...I recently added a 3000 Micro to my setup, which is stereo (now 2.1) used just for music. I don't think you'll be disappointed. It's a terrific speaker. Yes, it's only 8" driver but it packs plenty of punch, and I love the small footprint of the formfactor. And as @Matias mentions, the SVS app is terrific; gives you great flexibility to fine-tune things exactly as you want them.
Yes, that's correct. I should have made that more clear.Isn't that a dual 8" driver set up..??... If so, that's a big difference from a single ...
i've noticed the roll off vs stated fr myself.. interesting ..Re: 3000 micro
How are we supposed to believe an F3 of 23 Hz when their own graph shows a rolloff starting ~38Hz? It's a horrible graph, too, from the perspective that there are no lines to help follow. If they are ( likely the case) counting on Cabin Gain to deliver that stated F3, they should say so, and in what size room. Let's face it, the larger the room, the less the Cabin Gain effect will have.
