AVForums (Highly Recommended Award) Review: “The ability to handle bass moments with both power and dexterity is what really impressed but the SB16-Ultra also managed to deliver incredibly low frequencies without distorting. It was a highly accomplished performance that showed how effective SVS’s efforts have been in delivering a sealed subwoofer that can hold its own against ported boxes. It’s was like the subwoofer equivalent of Muhammad Ali, producing the low frequency sledge hammer punch of the best ported subwoofers but with the fast footwork of the best sealed boxes. Tight, powerful, natural and fast, this subwoofer delivers on all levels.”  

ReferenceHomeTheater Review: “The SB16-Ultra presents a soundstage that didn’t exist before… a fantastic performer and one of the best built and best sounding subs you can find…more than enough power, integrates flawlessly with speakers and provides phenomenal bass for movies and music.”
