SVS Sound Outlet online store has the SB-1000 powered subwoofer with 12" high-excursion driver in piano gloss for a low $399.99 with 5-year warranty as part of their President's Day sale. This is a great subwoofer that punches above its weight class if you are looking for musical accuracy. Includes a DSP to maintain accuracy at different volume levels.
Note that this is
not the SB-1000 Pro which is the current model that sells for $699. The main differences are app control and slightly increased rms and peak output on the newer SB-1000 Pro. They sound very similar.
Purchased one to add to a 2.1 system for music. 5% discount on the purchase of two at the same time.

The current model is the SB1000 PRO, which is a distinct improvement. Over on the AVS forum, we see plenty of complaints by folks who bought the SB1000 for its compactness and pretty looks, but if they were in anything larger than a small enclosed bedroom (e.g. an open plan living room) they often complained of inadequate output.
Be advised that the RSL Speedwoofer 10e/10S is only a few inches larger but in the same price range and offers much more output due to their vented cabinets. A sealed sub like the SB series is sometimes preferred for MUSIC, but at the entry level size and price/power range, often is inadequate for HT where you need a bit more "oomph" if you're a big action movies fan.
If you're dead set on SVS for some reason, do not have a small enclosed room, and mostly do HT not music, the PB1000 Pro is well worth paying the extra couple hundred for.

I got impatient and gambled, upgrading mine to the new Revolution series!
People can say what they want about SVS but they lead on innovative!!!
It's a significant overhaul and improvement to the 3000!
Experimented most of the weekend, should finish today.
FWIW mine is 5.2.4 using D-ART.
For the WAF prisoners, the RSL 10e/10s would still kick the s*** out of the SB1000 at 16.8x15x15 at just 2-3" wider/taller.
Either way, SVS is a craptastic price to performance option even when on "sale" pricing to normal non-OCD non-audiophools who WATCH movies instead of sphincter-flexing LISTENING to them.
Yes the 10e/s will rattle your windows and walls.
Thats not quality oomph imo, to each their own.
