    Has anyone else had the driver in their SVS 20-39 fall out!

    Edward: Thanks. Your input is always appreciated.I assumed that if this had been a problem with driver mounting, others would have responded with similar experiences. I know you have participated on this forum for some time and would know if such a problem existed.I'm confident that it was a...

    Has anyone else had the driver in their SVS 20-39 fall out!

    Ron: Thanks. I will try and get him to e-mail you guys. Believe it or not he is one of those computer illiterate people who does not use e-mail. I talked to him and he has not given up on SVS.I convinced him that this had to be an abberation since I had not ever read of anyone else...

    Has anyone else had the driver in their SVS 20-39 fall out!

    It's been some time since I posted here. I obtained alot of great information on this site before finally deciding on purchasing the Ultra last December. I have been extremely satisfied with the Ultra. My friend heard my Ultra and was so impressed with SVS that he recently ordered the the 20-39...

    SVS subs are just another sub with "box alignment "

    Bill: No One knows the answer to your last question. At least no one willing to post on this or other forums.I guess it's because THX does not publish their specifications.Thus, it's not as simple as I would like it to be. If the specs were published or at least well known,the performance of...

    SVS subs are just another sub with "box alignment "

    Reginald: The purpose of this post was to tap into the great wealth of knowledge on this forum concerning subs in general and SVS subs in particular. I own an Ultra thanks in part to this forum. It's an awesome piece of equipment. When I posted the question on the other forum it irritated me...

    SVS subs are just another sub with "box alignment "

    The link does not appear to work. The Forum can be easily found by going to google and entering "Flagship receiver Central". The topic is under the Denon 5803 forum and the topic refers to Thx Ultra 2 sub settings. The link in my first post will now take you to the flagship central forum...

    SVS subs are just another sub with "box alignment "

    Does anyone with more knowledge than I possess, about subs, want to argue against the statement made on another forum that SVS subs would not meet THX Ultra 2 certification because of their "box alignment" design.The address is: Link Removed Sorry I'm not computer literate enough to insert...

    THX Ultra 2 Sub setting with single Ultra

    Thanks.The other reason I posted this question is because my receiver's manual says If these settings are used with a sub that is NOT THX Ultra 2 certified then "this feature will not operate correctly and it's operation will be unpredicable". Will be unpredicable? What does that mean and why...

    THX Ultra 2 Sub setting with single Ultra

    Thanks John and Dan: I am also surprised that no one seems able to answer these questions. I know many people on this forum have SVS subs, and other Subs, that are more than capable of meeting THX Ultra 2 specs (+/- 3dB @20Hz). I also know that many own THX Ultra 2 certified receivers or...

    THX Ultra 2 Sub setting with single Ultra

    I have an SVS Ultra sub. It is rated form 15-100Hz +/-3dB. The driver is about as close as you can get to being bullet proof.The spl at 20 Hz is about 112. The sub has no filter. No one seems to know much about the s/w settings on Ultra2 receivers. This is not an Ultra 2 sub but obviously...

    Is calibrating at reference useless.

    Thanks for the replies. My Post topic language was poorly structured. What I was trying to ask is whether calibrating to reference level at 0 db on the master volume is useless for purposes of trying to convey to someone else what your listening levels are, assuming you listen below reference...

    Is calibrating at reference useless.

    Thanks for those replies. I hope someone else can comment on this situation. If what John (above) and the poster on another Forum I quoted says is true then we should all stop comparing listening levels at less than reference level.On my system -10 db (after calibrating with internal receiver...

    Is calibrating at reference useless.

    I have calibrated my receiver and speakers for the first time.The reason I did it was people keep asking me how loud do you listen to movies. SVS subs asked me and so did people on this forum. I also often read posts from people who say they listen at -10 to -15 dB. Others says that's way to...
