A subwoofer on the cover of reference audio guide Hi Fi News? Most unlikely, you would have thought, but the audiophile appeal of the extraordinary SVS SB-17 Ultra design has justified its status as a cover star in the April 25 issue! On the pages within, Mark Craven celebrates the flagship SVS sub as an essential building-block for serious hi fi listening across the widest musical gamut. He reveals how the SB-17 brings a “richer foundation” to the sound, from reggae to rock, from country to orchestral. He says it’s “capable of astonishing, stomach-churning lows (but) isn’t exaggerated in the way it throws its weight around…There’s guile and craft to the way it adds depth and scale to your music; it hits hard and (very) deep when required, and the setup app streamlines integration into your system. Brains and brawn from one big, affordable box? Where do I sign?”
