Saw some users review on the net and thought this one is very useful as it have comparison between different subs.

Wharfedale PC DX12 vs Velodyne SPL 1200 vs HSU VTF-3 MKII Intimus S-12 vs Infinity Alpha 1200S vs SVS PB12-ISD


I'll keep this short and conscise: I have five other friends that agreed to purchase five other reputable subwoofers. These are the subwoofers they chose: Wharfedale PC DX12 Velodyne SPL 1200 HSU VTF-3 MKII Intimus S-12 Infinity Alpha 1200S SVS PB12-ISD (Initially tested by me.) We all tested each of our subs with the same music CD's as weel as the same DVD's. We tested them of course at various volume levels. We rated each of our subs in different categories in music and in movies. The best rating in each category is 5 stars. At the end of our testing, these were the results: Wharfedale PC DX12: 3.5 Stars Velodyne SPL 1200: 4.0 Stars HSU VTF-3 MKII: 4.0 Stars Intimus S-12: 3.25 Stars Infinity Alpha 1200S: 3.5 Stars SVS PB12-ISD: 5.0 Stars So basically each of us tested all five of these subs. Take it for what it's worth, but we all had the same opinion about the SVS PB12-ISD. Clean, deep, punchy, accurate, and just very well rounded bass!!! Not only did it blend in seamleslly with each of our different gear, but it complimented and brought us to a different level of audio and movie listening. All 5 of us sent e-mails to all of these subwoofer companies. The only company that was very responsive was SV. Mind you we didn't get a response from just anyone, we got responses from the founders (Ron S. & Tom V.). Now that is quality service! Never did they talk down or bad mouth the competition. Everything stated by Ron & Tom was backed up with reviews that are readily accessible to the public. We did receive responses from others, including HSU and Wharfedale, but most of their comments were more biased rather than factual. On that note most of the other companies would bash or bad mouth the others without really justifying how they were better. SVS was the only company that maintained class! In conclusion, the SVS PB12-ISD is the subwoofer of choice! If you are on the market for a subwoofer, look no further! Dollar for dollar, nothing even comes close! I have a feeling the $599 price point will be going up pretty soon. Everyone that I refer over to SVS tells me that they are out of stock. That alone tells you how good the sub is!
