Hello,
On the recommendation of one of the forum members, I have shortlisted the mentioned subs in the title. My budget was restricted to 40k but I might increase it a bit to get SVS PB 1000 provided if its really worth the extra price. I haven't audition either of the subs as I live in a small town. I will be building up a dedicated HT room with some basics room acoustics done and floor carpet. My room dimensions are 13 feet (L) X 11 feet (W) X 10 feet (H). My requirements from the sub are to give crisp and tight bass that fills up the room. It will be 100% for movies only.
My current setup-
AVR- Onkyo HTIB S3300 receiver (no pre-out for sub)
Sub- Onkyp htib S3300 passive sub
Front LCR - Pioneer Andrew Jones SP FS52 floorstands and C22 center channel
Rear- Old kenwood hifi speakers
My question is-
1) Can my Onkyo receiver (with no preout) be connected to SVS-PB1000 or BIC PL 200II? I have seen the pics of both the subs, the BIC PL-200 has high level input and output, but the SVS-PB 1000 has only high level speaker level input and no output. So will I have problem connecting SVS sub to my old Onkyo receiver?
2) Will SVS PB-1000 be really worth the extra money in terms of sound quality and my requirements? Since my room is not big enough and will be acoustically treated, will BIC-PL200ii suffice my needs?
PS: I will be getting a denon 2500h or Pioneer LX 302 when i have enough budget maybe in 4-5 months, so it will solve the sub pre-out problem but now just want to upgrade my sub for better sound performance.
