Based on your signature you've got an SB-3000, so I'd say you're good to go.How does this compare to the SB2000. Would it be worth the upgrading going from the SB2k to the SB2k Pro?
I haven't heard the 1961, so I can't really comment. The Sub 1 is excellent though, and definitely worth considering.@Steve Withers thanks for the review! Any word on Arendal 1961 1S new model coming to you for test? It would be intresting to hear your thoughts how it would compare to SB2000 Pro as the specs are nearly identical and the size is even slightly smaller with a lower price.
I'd definitely go the dual route, and given you already have an SB-2000 it makes sense to add a second given the price is likely to drop. Adding a mindsp makes sense as well, especially given you have a Yamaha and as you point out YPAO isn't great at bass management.I’m in a similar boat as @megabit
I have an SB2000 and want to go dual, so not sure if I will buy the outgoing Model which may be reduced and a £100 minidsp 2*4 to calibrate both or go for new spending more and using the Svs app as Yamahas YPAO isn’t doing it for me from a bass management perspective.
As a fan of dual subs and as a fan of the BK, which is ridiculously good for the money, it's hard to fault the logic of buying two BKs.@Steve Withers. Hypothetical question, since I won't be buying this But in my room (size 18' x14' x 10'6"), if I had no subwoofer and £900 to spend, would you buy one SVS SB-20000 Pro or two BK Electronics P12-300SB-PR's?
You know me too well Ken.As I thought. Thanks, Mr Withers!
Better in which way? Not ideal scenario for large room. You need 3-4 SB2000s to even match the PB13U output in deep bass range, you would also lose some tactile sensation "impact" going from vented box to sealed assuming you listen blockbuster movies louder.Nice review, I've got a single PB13 ultra in a quite a big room (30ft) and I'd say I'm happy with the PB13. Would 2 sb2000's be a lot better than the one 13?
Hi Steve, if you would like an Arendal Sub1s for review I can put you in touch with Steve...I haven't heard the 1961, so I can't really comment. The Sub 1 is excellent though, and definitely worth considering.
@Dean Mr Withers's post #3 above is indicative of what I think is the general feeling that if you have an SVS subwoofer, then it not worthwhile replacing it for its direct replacement from the newer subwoofers that SVS has released over the last three years. In my case, the PC-4000 subwoofer directly superseded my PC13-Ultra's, and is probably better, but not so much better as to justify the cost of upgrading. (I also can live without the App facilities.)
I've already reviewed the Sub2 and Sub1 as part of the Arendal 1723 and 1723S systems respectively:Hi Steve, if you would like an Arendal Sub1s for review I can put you in touch with Steve...
Probably not, but there are a couple of other sub reviews in the pipeline.Are you going to do a review on the PB2000 pro?, awesome subwoofer!

I know about the 1961 line-up, but I'm too busy reviewing other products at the moment. Thanks anyway.Arendal has new line called 1961 and we meant that you would take the 1961 1S model for review as it´s similar to SB2000 Pro (size and amp & FR specs).
Probably not, but there are a couple of other sub reviews in the pipeline.
