The main advantage of the PB-2000 is its high nominal output power – compare its 500 W with 400 W, which is the nominal output power of the R-115SW. The maximal output power of the PB-2000 is 1100 W, while the maximal output power of the R-115SW is 800 W. Therefore, these solutions are a great option for large rooms and for people who need a lot of power. Nevertheless, both models output the clean deep bass sound. The advantage of the R-115SW is its building quality – it is durable and it also looks elegant.
The Klipsch R-115SW vs SVS PB-2000 performance comparison shows that the R-115SW is more flexible with its wider crossover frequency range – 40-160 Hz, while the PB-2000 range is 50-160 Hz. The frequency response of the PB-2000 is 17-260 Hz, while the R-115SW frequency response is 18-125.
The R-115SW can use the wireless connection protocol – it is necessary to use a WA-2 Wireless Subwoofer Kit. This model also uses an all-digital amplifier, which is very precise and outputs the clean sound.
The PB-2000 uses the Advanced Digital Signal Processing solution that helps to achieve the perfect blending with other speakers.
The SVS PB-2000 vs Klipsch R-115SW design comparison shows that both manufacturers pay special attention to the design to avoid any noise or resonance. The main difference is the driver size – the PB-2000 has a 12-inch driver (the woofer is made of aluminum), while the R-115SW uses a 15-inch spun-copper cerametallic woofer. Both models have front-firing ports – the SVS model has a traditional round-shaped port, while the R-115SW has a rectangular port. Both models have detachable grills that protect the drivers and the ports.
The back panel has all the ports, switches and dials you need. Everything is easy to access. The dimensions are 20.9x17.3x25.4 in. for the PB-2000 versus 21.5x19.5x22.3 in for the R-115SW.
