My quest for an ideal Subwoofer
I have a Logitech SqueezeBox Boom internet radio that has a Subwoofer/Headphone Out combo out (2-in-1) - it has a tight bass and has rave reviews about its great sound.

Logitech SqueezeBox Boom Internet Radio Review
Boom has an interesting design and architecture -

On page 5 in the above doc, it says -
Without a subwoofer, the Squeezebox Boom goes from a -3 dB response at 50 Hz (at low volume settings) to about 85 Hz (at high volume settings), all the way to 20 kHz. With the addition of a subwoofer, the entire audio band, from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, is covered
I thought of replacing my discontinued Boom with Cambridge Audio's EVO All-in-One Player -

But EVO does not have built-in Pandora app - we need to use their StreamMagic phone app to stream music to it. Boom has built-in Pandora app through MySqueezeBox.com server with an optional Web Remote control that we can use from anywhere in the world to control the Boom - even on the other side of the world (distance does not matter). Boom's Pandora app barely has a 5-second ad once every 30-60 minutes (same repeating ad) that I can live with. Plus, I can run Boom on mains power as opposed to having to kill my phone battery if using EVO.
I'm gonna have to just buy a Subwoofer but again, I'm afraid it may annoy my neighbors 😐 For now, it is great playing Boom on my desk all day, working from home - which is outputting more than adequate bass at close range (like headphones).
SVS Team recommended SB-2000 Pro x 2 or SB-3000 x 1 subwoofer for the size of my place but I got intimidated by its 64 LBS weight! Holy Crap! My giant Roland Fantom Workstation is only 33 LBS that I don't like to move around and I can get TWO Roland Fantom workstations (or sixteen Roland JD-Xi keyboards) for the weight of one SB-3000 Subwoofer. Is the speaker technology still lagging behind innovations?
I would rather wait for the release of a new compact 4000 Micro in 10" drivers in future (similar to 3000 Micro in 8" drivers below) -
