Good thing independent testing data does not lie and that SB3000 is WEAK for movies... compared to other options discussed here, especially for the money... 😭
I've personally built more than 10 subwoofers ranging from dual sealed 18" Daytons, ported stereo integrity 18" subwoofers, Bill flitzmauice Tuba HTs, and everything in-between. Not to mention the countless high dollar retail subs including SVS,Monolith,Martin Logan, Paradigm,Velodyne,B&W,JBL Synthesisand other ID subs... but sure I have no personal experience..
Those 3000s are cute, probably why you need so many to compensate for the lack of low end🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I disagree with this insinuation that sealed subs only work:
"Unless you're in a tiny enclosed room, sit real close to the sub, listen only to music not action movies, and listen at very sedate volumes, or some combination of all 4."!
I'm willing to bet if you listened to my dedicated HT room you wouldn't say the VTF-3 "wiped the floor" of them.
No it's not a tiny room, sitting on the subs,sedate volume and listening to music!
It would probably be the usual reaction when people do saying I always thought sealed subs are not good for HT purposes! 🙄
We will just have to agree to disagree about sealed subs.
Thoughts on if this is worth the extra $700?

Generally speaking it can be challenge for one sub to perform optimally for all your seating positions.
A 2nd sub can improve that significantly.
This offers its own challenges also.
One is optimal placement especially with a big footprint.
Another is the harmonizing/integration of the two and then into the rest of the speakers/system.

I thought the difference would be negligible before I added a second sub on my main floor setup. Even though the pair up there were moderately small the difference was night and day.

There is no CEA-2010 data on 1400sw yet bit it should be 2dbs under the 1600sw. The 1600SW on sale is ridiculous value as well compared to the SVS PB16-ULTRA (similar frequency response)
Anyways, there is no amounts of floor placement that will bring out 10dbs @20hz out of a SB3000.

Reminds me of my stupid "audiophile" relative with the same belief response.
NO F**kIN WAY, THATS BS! Those are props, where are they!
Then he goes and picks it up and puts his hands on the woofer! 🤣
To this day he still asked me how you do it! 🤣

Man if I only had a dime for every time a person made that claim!
I would suggest trying the red pill one of these days, listening by reading is an illusion!
There is a reason why people read those "facts" and still come in here and ask for comparisons!!
But sure, keep thinking you have something special 😉
I would wager the opposite, if people knew upfront how these perfom based on CEA2010 standards, not many people would ask for your biased comparisons....

"Pride of ownership" fanboyism easily overrides any hope of learning about objective, measurable performance.
