In-depth comparison: Klipsch R-120SW vs SVS PB-2000

SVS PB-2000 vs Klipsch R-120SW

The Klipsch R-120SW subwoofer has a Class D amplifier that develops a rated power of 200W, which was made to order according to Klipsch specifications. This amplifier has low distortion and is precisely matched to the subwoofer speaker, thereby achieving high efficiency.

When we compare SVS PB-2000 vs Klipsch R-120SW, it is forbidden to forget about Ultra Series technology of the SVS. The SVS PB-2000 subwoofer makes it easy to reproduce low frequencies up to 17 Hz with exceptional detail and musicality.

Features & Performance

SVS is offering technology normally reserved for subwoofers two or three times the asking price of 2000 series. Among subwoofers that are capable of playing as low as 17 Hz, there are few with that capability that cost less.

I can’t say that this model’s performance much varies versus the R-120SW. The R-120SW's built-in fully digital subwoofer amplifier delivers ample power with high-fidelity, source-accurate reproduction, delivering maximum performance, detail, and power to fill your home.

Design

The subwoofer has an elegant design that is considered a distinctive feature of Klipsch. The robust and carefully reinforced MDF speaker housing design greatly reduces vibration during operation. The style of the column is made up of conspicuous fasteners, gratings on magnetic mounts and wall decoration with a vinyl film that recreates the wood texture. The subwoofer is not afraid of scratches - the film reliably protects from damage.

What I can’t say about the SVS model, which design should be thoroughly accomplished.
