Even the pb13 ultra had very poor mid Bass response. This problem is common with all the ported svs subs (i have no idea about the sealed svs subs however)and the reason is:
Svs basically tune their subwoofer to produce flattest response up to 16hz, and that to in an anechoic chamber. So when you use these subs in our smallish (relatively) Indian rooms, the low frequency (<35hz) tend to get a lot of room gain, which inturn masks the mid Bass slam.
So, ported svs subs are very good for movies, but for music, I don't think so.
May be the sealed svs subs will perform better with the mid Bass slam. Those who have heard and possess the sealed svs subs can enlighten here.
I haves owned a pb13 ultra. It could shake the entire house and was able to pressurise the room so we'll but mid Bass was literally absent. My onkyo 8 inch sub was able to produce more mid Bass than the legendary pb13 ultra
