    2-disc LIFEFORCE SE in the works?

    Its a guilty pleasure of mine due to the fact of the lovely Mathilda May being the naked SpaceGirl who is charming the Brits while sucking their life with a kiss.

    SVS owners.........

    The PC Ultra would work well in a room that size. Is it overkill....maybe, depends on how you like your bass and your listening habits in movies. I am currently running a PC Ultra and PC+ 16-46 in a room 12 x 11 x 8 and love the feel of the dual subs. The extra intensity that you get is an...

    Will adding more subs really improve bass response in a properly calibrated setup?

    Currently running two SVS Cylinders a PC+ 16-46 and a PC Ultra in a room 12'x11' and I immediately noticed an improvement in the intensity of the bass. Once calibrated they are both backed down quite a bit, however when a bassy scene hits the room shakes over twice as much as it did before. When...

    Cerwin Vega Powered Sub

    I used to have an older Cerwin Vega sub, the LW-15 which I thought was pretty decent, until I went ahead and purchased a SVS PC+ 16-46 sub. The SVS blew the Cerwin Vega out of the water with clean clear bass. The Cerwin Vega was boomy but was better then not having a subwoofer. Since then I...

    Can't decide on a subwoofer

    Calibrating a subwoofer is done with a Sound Level Meter and a Calibration DVD such as Avia or Digital Video Essientials. The idea of the calibration is to ensure that the speakers are matched with the subwoofer, that the bass is inphase as to avoid cancelation. Each room/system is different...

    A wonderful BOSE fact, courtesy of CEDIA...

    This reminds me that Intel holds the patent to the letter I and BT owns the rights to Hyperlinking.

    B&W 601 s2

    I've had my B&Ws for a couple of years now and love them to death. I have the DM620i for the fronts, DM602 for rears and the DM600 IFS for center channel. I bought mine used from a friend who had moved over from England, hence the funny product lines. What are you using for your receiver? The...

    Will SVS speakers make as big a spash as their subs?

    If SVS produces a great quality speaker product at a price far less then its competitors, then I think they will do alright. Speakers are a lot more of a personal preference then subwoofers and the competition for speakers is much greater then subwoofers. Personally I would like to see SVS...

    One thing that I'm disappointed in with my SVS 20-39 PCi...

    Running Dual SVS Cylinders and are extremely happy with my subs. As the newer movies are becoming more and more aggressive in LFE having 5.2 or 7.2 systems will become more popular to the Home Theaterite.

    subwoofer placement

    Its not dangerous as once it has been properly calibrated it will produce the same sound level in one location as in another (minus the room accoustic variations). Just be sure to calibrate from your main listening position. I have Dual SVS Cylinders next to me in a corner and I experience the...

    Gone Through Hell for a Harman Kardon

    Thast really too bad, I own the HK AVR-520 and I am extremely pleased with this receiver. Only small problem that I had was when I paused a DTS DVD and then tried to resume, I wouldn't get any sound. I would have to either switch receiver on/off or change to another source and change back...

    What do you use to set up your sub.

    If you set your receiver to Large speakers bass will be sent to your woofers in your speakers. Its not necessarily a bad thing, but since you have a subwoofer you may want to set your speakers to small (even though they may physically be large) so that bass will only be sent to your subwoofer...
