So, whats the deal withe these new, lower priced subs? How do they compare to the NSD offerings that are priced right above them?

Here is the link to the new subs: http://www.svsound.com/1000-series-landing

Ships November 26, 2012!! Should be new and exciting if they come from SVS!

This thread seems like a good place to park the following comment from SVS' Ed Mullen:

(He made that comment in this thread.)

Like the NSD series, the 1000-series woofers are Peerless based, built to SVS specifications.

The 1000-series are the first of the 'next generation' of SVS subwoofers, so we're starting with the '1000' as the entry level and moving up over time. It will simply make it easier in the long-run to distinguish the performance levels within each family. The Ultra name has such strong association with the SVS brand, we'll be keeping that regardless.

Also, FYI, there is this thread:
