Shannon, Good to hear all is OK after the delay in delivery. Ditto what Jack said. As far as we're concerned there is no "HT or Music sub", you have to be good on both, and neither should compromise the other. Big emphasis on the use for very moderate SPL's on sine waves. Do NOT...

Don, That's great. Receivers without (accurate) subwoofer calibration noise signals are on my long list of things I'd like to see banned ;^) A new Avia is due out soon we we're going to be out of stock till we've got our hands on the new guy, and validated it's bug free. Use a combination...

Ace, Please let us know if you have any general or specific questions about particular products, while we don't spend the time on the forums we'd all like we (nearly) never let a call or e-mail slip by us. Burke, having said that, if there is an instance where you don't get a response in...

Shannon, I'm glad you called us so we can help push from this end (we never accept that any incident with our product arriving (or not arriving) perfectly is "out of our hands", I don't care if it's 5PM on a holiday weekend, or whenever. Holiday weekends, and the rare example of poor customer...

Chris, The SCS-01(M)'s are certainly capable enough where we'd tend to recommend you pair a more powerful NSD or say a single woofer Plus sub. The MTS-01 (which we hope to start publishing a bit of info about in a short time) will range from a single woofer Plus, say if you had an all MTS-01...

Dan, Come July we should have some popping into our factory showroom. Come and visit us, NJ isn't that far away from Youngstown Ohio. It's no critical listening room (we're working on that project but it's a ways off still) but you can see and hear most of our products. It's not often you...

Matt, Thanks for taking the time to let us know that via HTF (appropriate since that's how you got the sub ;^). "I really love this movie but the new sub just expanded my horizons as to how good and enjoyable movies are at home." Thanks for that, it means a lot to guys always working...

CW, Because you can play them louder, we tend to recommend the SCS-01(M) package with our bigger/more powerful subs, like the PB12-Plus or 20-39PC+ (all but the same subs, in much different "form factors"). The tiny SB12-Plus is a monster, for a "micro-sub" but probably better suited for a...

Maybe we'll get there Steve, but indeed we've been pretty slammed for a while on getting the lines fleshed out a bit more. No question the Subhuman Cylinder needs a pal at some point though ;^) Ron SVS

Chris, We're working on an update to that now actually. Trying to tighten up prices and dates both and should be posting more tomorrow. As a prelude, pre-orders are expected to finally be let loose mid-April, but it'll be a bit more lengthy period than usual. First PB13-Ultra's and PC-Ultras...

David, Well it comes down again to your preferences. If it's performance, pure and simple, and you can look past the fact that the NSD/2 will take up more floor, require two people to move, and will cost around $50 more to ship, then there's little question it's the superior choice. But in...

Jean, Well, your warranty is intact at least. You wouldn't qualify for the returning customer discount but given you are an owner Erik Kroner can sometimes be convinced to drop a shirt and hat combo in there at least ;^) Just drop us a line when/if you order. Suffice it to say that if you...

JP, While everyone will have their own view, ours is that "matching" speakers for mains/center/surrounds is a good idea generally speaking, but matching the subwoofer in brand or model is largely irrelevant. Most systems are much more limited by their subwoofers than the main speakers as...

David, With a budget of $1000 and no real restriction on floorspace/footprint, nearly everyone at SVS would pick the PB12-NSD/2. A tick under budget shipped to the door. Two PB12-NSDs stacked would be another path and with a dual sub discount (5-10% depending on the model etc.) put you...

Jean, I don't know about the HTD's but the SBS-01 speakers aren't particularly efficient either. We didn't really care about that during design since good clean power is just dirt cheap today (and while many receivers might fail to achieve "rated power" they are still massively powerful for...
