About SVS

SVS began by selling cylindrical subwoofers - a sonotube with a driver and a plate amplifier - direct to home-cinema enthusiasts at output levels no conventional box at the price could reach. It has since become a full-range brand, but subwoofers remain the core, and the direct model with a 45-day trial and free return shipping is central to how it competes.

SVS started among people who met on early home-cinema discussion boards, which is why the brand has always sold direct and talked to its customers the way a forum does.

Notable models: PB-Ultra and PC cylinder subwoofers, SB-1000, PB16-Ultra, Ultra Evolution speakers.
