Great review. I have the SB-4000 and think it's great.
I was sceptical about the grille. But once I set it up and saw it in the flesh, I quite liked it.
I too was going to ask when is the SB-4000 £1399.
This is more like it. I just wish:
a. I could afford one of these.
b. BK can supply some subs to compare against these obviously great subs.
c. I've just realised that Ed reviewed my sub in 2015. Guess what score it got lol.
I currently have a PC-2000. Do you think this would be a significant upgrade? I don't have room for the PB-3000 and the PC-4000 is just too tall for the missus. Such a shame they didn't do a PC-3000 to complete the range.
I don't like the fact we are being charged a lot more for these US/Canada based ones, REL used to be UK based and after being sold now they are also doing the same.
$1≠ £1, simple. Why can't we be buying the ones based in the UK?
SVS's cylindrical subs are awesome. The PC-4000 really impressed me with its depth, and the fact it went that low in a form factor that's less intrusive compared to the PB-4000.Same feelings here but the PC-2000 is ported and can dig 1 Hz lower than SB-3000.
Do a bass test in your room and you will notice the PC-2000 getting quite loud until 17 Hz and then gradually dropping off but pushing enough air to the rattle loose things and fixtures around until 10 Hz (throwing room gain into the mix as well).
If I were to upgrade, I would go for another cylinder or a sealed SVS like this due to its form factor and ability to go ultrasonic without breaking the bank too much.
It is a shame there's no PC-3000, I love SVS's cylindrical subs. From memory (and it's worth noting I reviewed the SB-2000 five years ago), I do think the SB-3000 would make for a decent upgrade.I currently have a PC-2000.

Milton Keynes area.If you don’t mind me asking. What part of the country are you in ? A rough idea will do
Cheers
Why would you go with a girly sub like that when you can have a sub that looks like a side cabinet. A man's sub!... I love SVS's cylindrical subs.
The PB-4000 is literally the size of a chest freezer, and I feared for the integrity of my house (not to mention my back) when I had it in for review.Why would you go with a girly sub like that when you can have a sub that looks like a side cabinet. A man's sub!
Correct! I am not asking for something made in the UK as most stuff is made in far east nowadays anyway. It astonishes me people charging more to sell it here as compared to the states excluding the VAT factor. Take for example KEF or Fyne which got reviewed quite recently. Prices would reflect the forex and we don't get ripped off.The $1.1k to £1.4k we are seeing here might be a little bit toppy, but is there a direct competitor that is manufactured in the UK given that BK don't do one?
