In my home, EQ'd flat to within +-1db from 18-100hz, my SVS 16-46PCi will run with any sub you want to bring. Others may play louder, but I don't care. I have never reached the limits of my sub, so it is all irrelevant. Would I go bigger? Not now. This thing rocks! If the Plus series would have been available when I bought the PCi, I probably would have jumped, just to have the extra headroom available. After living with this sub for well over a year, I know I don't need more, and I challenge anyone to show me that in MY ROOM, theirs will outperform mine.
That is not to say that the Stryke, the Hsu, the bigger SVS, or any of the really high priced subs are not as good. It is also not to say that mine would beat them in a 10,000 cu. ft. room in extension and maximum output. What that means is that in a room the size of mine, mine does its job well, and would not be massively outperformed by anything else. (at least not the way I calibrate--flat, no house curve)
