    IT's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World Restoration

    Too bad WB didn't acquire the rights for this super-widescreen comedy epic; I think it would have had a better chance to perform some sort of restoration and HD mastering like they done with the latest 1959 Ultra-Panavision version of Ben-Hur and Todd-AO's Around the World in 80 Days, both...

    SVS or something else

    That midbass "punch" is actually bloated bass--false "low end"--and has little to do with accurate low frequency bass reproduction... -THTS "...hi, my name is Frank...and am an SVS bassaholic..."

    New SVS Plus Driver!

    Yikes! :eek: That's a MONSTER indeed (oops!...now am going to be sued for using that term)! But one question remains: whatever happened to the SVS subs? Your "DIY" sub reminds me that I still have those two 350 Lbs. (each), 5 1/2' H x 24" W x 28" D ISOBARIK-loaded old sub enclosures...

    New SVS Plus Driver!

    ...when the "big" HT system finally gets running full board (and it will be a while before that happens since I need to lose a lot of weight--bariatric gastric bypass surgery is 'acoming soon ;) --and can't do a lot of the things I used to be able to accomplish) you'll definitely know it even...

    New SVS Plus Driver!

    Hi, Tom! Indeed has been a while since we last chatted, but I am really happy to see the resounding success that SVS has become. Actually, I was being a bit feticious with my post, and since I just turned 60...why...I thought I owed it to myself, so please indulge me! :) Meantime, I'll...

    New SVS Plus Driver!

    Good grief! So now I am really wondering just how "bad" are the drivers used on my 16-46 octet and twin B12-Plus/4 subs by comparison!... :frowning: -THTS "...hi, my name is Frank...and am an SVS bassaholic..."

    Preliminary IMD measurements for subwoofers

    ...of course, such mundane 'lil problems will instantly disappear (well, almost) when multiple drivers are used...like I do with my SVS 16-46 octet and B12-Plus/4s... :D Nice seeing your always edifying words again, Mark! :) -THTS "...hi, my name is Frank...and am an SVS bassaholic..."

    War of the Worlds damaged my SVS!

    Umm...my SVS B12-Plus/4 twins experienced no problems handling the DTS soundtrack of WOTW whatsoever. However, the house might have sustained structural damage while receiving heavy doses of high amplitude, low bass signals produced by these babies instead!!... :D -THTS

    which is better?? a single sub based on SVS2039 OR 2 Athena p6000 subs???

    Making a lot of noise doesn't necessarily equate to producing accurate low end bass with ample output, that's why me also thinks the SVS sub would be a far better choice. My $0.02... -THTS "hi, my name is Frank...and am an SVS bass-aholic..."

    JVC HD5U D-VHS tape deck: needs help!...

    Well, so far everything seems to indicate my new deck is defective right out of the box, so I'll be contacting the vendor and JVC about it. First I'll try a new cable that's on its way here (HDMI-to-DVI sans adapters) and see what happens, though. Will also try the low tech analog output to...

    JVC HD5U D-VHS tape deck: needs help!...

    JVC HD5U D-VHS tape deck: needs help!...

    I just received one of these decks; bought it new. I connected it to a 40" Sony XBR CRT-based display (TV) via HDCP-compliant DVI-D interfacing (used a HDMI-to-DVI adapter), and used the 5U's optical digital sound output which in turn is connected to a high-end Pioneer Elite receiver. After...

    A Few Words About A few words about... The Sound of Music

    Sony's new "RUBY" VPL-VW100, 1080p FP will most likely be our next "reference" display device...though not been able to fully fill a 12 foot wide screen (2:35:1 scope aspect ratio) like we been able with our current FP is going to be hard to take (but a higher gain screen material could very...

    I need suggestions on a complete 5.1 setup

    "Anyways, I have about 1200-1500 to spend and I have nothing but a TV. What would be a good complete 5.1 system, including receiver." Other than the receiver (too many to chose from)...I would look at SVS' new 5.1/7.1 surround sound offerings (check their Web site under "NEWS"). At their...
