The sealed vs ported sound signature is different at least to my ears. The ported have the bass overhang that in my opinion is essential for movies and the big bang.
I listened to the SB13 very briefly and liked what I heard. However, I don't think it is fair to compare that to the seaton submersive, as its a different price range. But its good.
The PB13 is a beast, that I can confirm. The amount of air it pushes is tremendous. As is the PC-13. The one that was not setup to its optimum with the room problems was also pretty good.
I think if u want to go local any one of the SVSs are great and thats a fact. I've so far heard the PB12NSD, SB12, SB10, SB13, PB12, PC12 and all of them sound great. Work towards ur budget and it there shd be something for everyone of u.
The Seatons are a different class. I believe the upcoming SB16 will put up a fight. But in terms of raw power the PB13U can easily match the raw SPL of the Seaton. Its just different sound characteristics.
I would ask those who have small rooms and are looking for their 1st sub and can wait, to check out the upcoming SB10. That for its small footprint and wallet friendly prices is my pick for best budget sub with a big heart. I liked how that sub sounded. In my opinion, the sound signature, seems to be able to match some of the more established brands at slightly cheaper.
I've been considering initially the PB12+, and PC12+ but did not proceed due to the massive size and WAF factor. I looked eagerly for the SB12+ and SB13+ due to its small footprint but recently been offered a Seaton Submersive (limited offer) for a price slightly cheaper than a PB13U. For info, this offer is not in Malaysia as I'm based overseas. Have not heard a Seaton but prepare to buy blind due to overwhelming online review. Size wise, although big but not as big as PB12+ and PB13U. Always like the PB12+ and PC12+ but wife says no to size. Very tempting to get the Submersive but the SB series in particular SB13+ and SB16U would be significantly more expensive than PB12U? And SQ of the new SB series vs Seaton?I listened to the SB13 very briefly and liked what I heard.
