That's awesome! Can't wait to see what you come up with! And still hoping for pictures of the other finishes (better check the svs site before I make a request that's already been fulfilled :-)). Thanks, Jeff

Tom: That makes perfect sense (no point in giving them a head start) :-). I haven't seen the inevitable question(s) such as, "Would 2ea PB10-ISD have more output than 1ea PB1-Plus" and those sorts of things. I'm a closet bass guy who has yet to "out" himself by actually buying a...

It could well be (and more likely is) my mistake. My recollection of reviews of the "tunable" subs seemed to use the word "tune", as in, "I plugged one port to try the 20 Hz tune" (I may not have the numbers right, this was just an example). Thanks, Jeff

So you're saying that for any new model (given that all the old models have the tuning info in the specs, at least I think so) you will forgoe publishing the tuning? What about cases where you have multiple ports? Will the different tuning combinations be called, "Low", "Med-Low", and "Medium"...

I'm sorry, but did we ever get an answer to the tuning question I asked a day or two ago? It's probably in there and I just missed it.

Perhaps I missed it - did one of the fine SVS folks state the tuning (of the PB10-ISD)? I assume it's fixed with the one port? 20 Hz? TIA, Jeff

Ed: First, let me add to the list of people who have thanked you for your incredibly detailed reviews of the SVS PB2-Plus and PB2-Ultra. Next, let me say that I did searcht this entire thread for what I'm about to ask, so I'm not completely lazy, but, I admit that I did not re-read every...

Thanks for the info. You said they were designed "back in the days". They are a brand new speaker that came out concurrently with the 700 series, so I don't think they are old in any way. I'm not sure what you're saying there.

Does anyone own these? Anyone heard them? I'm looking for opinions. How do they sound in monopole vs dipole modes? Anyone using them with the trigger setup? Thanks, Jeff

Actually, I might be a little worried about the Jolida front end. I'm too lazy to look it up, but if it's got a tube stage, I _suppose_ (not necessarily, but it's possible) there could be some frequency response anomalies that may be an issue for you. If you have another source component you can...

I know this is controversial, but I wouldn't put much stock in that notion that different amps are going to change anything for you (not saying it might not, but generally speaking, no). And, as your personal experience shows, that's the case. Your Rotel is fine. You really need to go listen to...

As an owner of the early VR-4, they are a very easy to listen to speaker. I eventually sold them for Dunlavy SC-IV's, which in an A/B comparison, beat the VR-4 handily (mind you some of that is purely preference). However the VR-4 design has evolved a lot over the last 8 years, and I am actually...

I have a pair of PSB Stratus Silver (not the newer "i" model) in a second system. I personally like the sound of them better than any Paradigm Studio series speaker I've ever heard (although the Studio 100 v3 gives them a run, I still like the Stratus Silver better - compared to the 40, I think...

One sub that multiple people have mentioned is the Kilimanjaro or Denali (Denali is bigger but will have better sub 20 Hz performance). See http://www.acoustic-visions.com/~aco...le_index.shtml

Thanks for the additional suggestions and information folks :-) Tom, where did you see review data on the JBL S120 sub (I dropped by a store and bought the June SAAV issue but didn't see anything in there about this sub. Not that I would buy them, but you certainly have me curious)? They...
