The latest Commercial Plasmas from Panasonic have improved the burn-in to the same level as CRT. "Newly developed phosphor boosts resistance to static-image burnin to the same level as CRT displays" http://catalog2.panasonic.com/webapp...el=TH-42PWD7UY
Brett, Unless there is something wrong with your specific Shiva driver then it must be how the measurements were done in your environment. If you are using an SPL meter, remember that moving the sub or the mike only a few inches can affect the SPL readings by a few DB, depending on the makeup...
Cam, I just found this thread and thought I'd jump in. The Shiva is actually 1.7db louder than the AV12 assuming the same wattage and similar box sizes. The 2.83V rating of 89.5db for the AV12 was done at Re. It's 4 ohms rating would be 88.5db compared to the shiva's 90.2db at the same 4 ohm...
No, I don't think they will show pictures until after CES, which is from January 9-12. Judging only from the description it looks they are suggesting it will beat the Ultra in performance and include a finish similar to the SS series for about the same price as the Ultra. I guess we'll have to...
It will be interesting to see how this new sonotube sub stacks up against the SVS subs for price/performance.

Dan has just confirmed at the following link that they will be selling the DT300 amp from RCMAkustik. He also compared the DT300 to the BASH 500W , HS200 , and AVA250 / PE amps.

Well, Dan from Adire just posted a response at the following link explaining the differences between the DT300 and the HS200 , BASH , and AVA250 / PE amps. He also mentioned that they will only be bringing in the DT300, not the DT150 , and the price should come under the HS200...
Allan, It looks like I found the answer to my question. Based of the DT300 PDF specs, if the bass boost is not used then you are able to select between bass cutoff frequencies of 18hz, 20hz or 23hz. Although it doesn't mention if these are center frequencies, -3db, or something else.
Dan,
I posted a similar question at the following site and got some good feedback.

If you look under the classified adds (sub directory) at www.audioasylum.com you will see an add for the same amp from ArtofSound and the price is only...
Allan, Do you know if the DT300 has some type of subsonic filter similar to the Hypex and the AVA250 amps. Or will this be added by Bob/Dan before it is sold to the consumer. Thanks Steve
Allan,
Are you refering to the home plate amps that they are packaging with the bassexciter subs. The DT110 mkII and the DT300 are actually from RCM Akustik (the DT110 use to power the SVS subs). Lets hope they can start selling the DT300 in Canada/US. Here's a link to the DT300 plate amp...
Justin, I have ordered electronics from the US in the past. You should budget $50 Cdn for duties, a little more than what you calculated. Also, you will pay PST & GST on the product from the US, but only GST on the order from BC. I presume you know how to add a subsonic filter to the PE...
From what I can tell the room response curve does nothing. I tried changing the size of the room to 2Mx2Mx2M and the curve didn't change one bit. Not only should have the 20hz point increased but since the room is perfectly squared there should have been large peaks and valleys in the curve. I...
The HS200 actually has the same subsonic filter as the AVA250. I am also considering a HS200 for my sub.
I started a discussion at the following site comparing the HS200 to other amps. This may help you a bit in your decision.

Here is...
John, I noticed from you web site that there is a 4db difference between the 1w/1m and the 2.83v SPL measurements for both the AV12 and AV15. I believe for a nominal 4 ohm driver there should only be a 3db difference. Is one of these numbers a typo or were these measurments done at a lower...
Chris,
Here is someone selling a used 555ES in Canada. You may be able to get him to bring down the price some more and save a few hundred. You'll only loose two months of warranty.

I don't know if I'll be able to make it out that way in the near future.(I have to finish the basement before the next child arrives). But, let me know if you are ever in the GTA in the near future. I am also using a Marantz SR-7000 to power the AV1's.
Shawn,
I also live in Ontario(Markham). I recently purchased 4 of the original(parallel crossover) AV/1's (2 with black hole 5) and the AV1-C (also with Black hole 5). I currently don't have a good place to compare speaker right now, as I am doing my basement. But if you are near me we...
