    Yeah, sorry, my first post is now updated with missing info. I did just copy and paste my AVS forum ad here, and it already had the price and location in another spot.

    Emotiva DMC-1/MPS-1

    This is a great price on some excellent equipment. If they would fit in my hand built oak rack I would be all over this!

    budget center channel

    John, Another center speaker to check out is the JBL S-Center II. I have this center speaker, and it is excellent for it's price range. These speakers have been discontinued, but you can find them used, and sometimes new at online stores. New they used to cost @ $250 each, but you can get...

    Which SVS for a 2nd sub?

    Brian, I strongly recommend that you go for another 20-39. If you get another sub with a different tune you will hear the difference, and one or both will be "locatable", that is you will know where the bass is coming from, and probably from the one with the lowest tune. This...

    Another SVS 16-46CS+ or what?

    I wonder if another good option would be to add a 25 - 31 cylinder to your set up, to get more slam from the higher HZ. I say this, because I have two PC+ 20-39's tuned to 16 hz, and set up in the same locations as your 16-46's. I too love how this sounds with music, but miss a little punch with...

    "never Buy A Downward Firing Sub!"

    This is pretty hilarious, I can't believe people are debating whether their sub-woofers make their pants "flap" or not! The scary thing is, I can't resist joining in!! :D Even though I have dual SVS PC+ 20-39's in a medium sized room, I must say my pants have never "flapped". However, they...

    SVS, Which one?

    Here's another vote for 20-39, in the Plus model if your budget allows. I like them so much I have two. Phil, as a fellow JBL S series and SVS owner, I like your signature!

    SVS PB12-Ultra/2 or 2 PC-Ultras?

    I would go for the Ultra(s). I recently tuned my dual SVS PC+ 20-39 cylinders to 16 hz from the stock 20 hz tune, and noticed a definite improvement in the way they sound, both with music and movies. It just seems to be a tighter, cleaner sound. You will definitely like the lower bass...

    Any down-side to running a dual sub setup?

    Very well said Steve. I know I am giving up some potential SPL by not co-locating the subs, but I am enlarging the area of the sweetspot for more seating positions. I do have plenty of headroom, as my medium size room is only 18' x 18' x 8', and my two PC+ cylinders fill it up easily, even tuned...

    Any down-side to running a dual sub setup?

    You make some good points on getting finer resolution in your measurements. I downloaded more test tones to chart 1/12 octave measurements, and see what it looks like. I really think my room is a challenge and a bit different than most. The right side of my room seems to just soak up bass...

    Any down-side to running a dual sub setup?

    I used 1/6th octave test tones to equalize both subs with a Behringer 1124P. Most people feel that this is adequate, but I may try 1/12th octave tones some day. Wayne was pretty helpful in the equalization process, thanks again Wayne. If I get time I will post my response curves, both flat and...

    Any down-side to running a dual sub setup?

    I beg to differ with some of the previous posts, with all due respect. I have been very pleased going to two SVS PC+ 20-39 subs. When I had one sub it was locatable, and my room response was uneven, ie one side of the room had more bass than the other. Two subs will not only get you more even...

    Best speaker set-up for 3200cuft room

    I'm not sure your Yamaha can power those 4 ohm towers adequately, you really need to research this some more. If your budget allows it, and you really have your heart set on the 4 ohm speakers, you could buy a 2 or 3 channel amp to power your fronts and center. I did this with my Yamaha 1400 and...

    SVS PB1-ISD ($600) vs. SVS PC20-39PCi ($600)?

    I have a 20-39 PC+, and while I have not directly compared it to an SVS box sub, many I have chatted with say; - The cylinders are easier to move, and seem to be easier to locate properly for the best sound in a room, due to the sound characteristics (higher top port) of the cylinder. -...

    Does anybody use two subs?

    I have one SVS cylinder, a 20-39 PC Plus, and I want to add a second one (someday) to even out the bass response in my room. It's not that it's lacking in sound level (it's great!), but when I move my sub from the front left corner to the front right corner the seats on the opposite side of the...

    Totally subjective review of the JBL S38II

    I gotta' agree that these are awesome speakers!! I have 4 S38II's for my fronts and side surrounds, the S-Center, and S36II's for the back (7.1) surrounds. This setup really does it all, they sound great with music (SACD!!) and fantastic with movies. I am driving these speakers with a Yamaha...

    Yamaha YPAO settings, what did you pick?

    I agree with Bill**H, Comparing PEQ after running YPAO to the GEQ flat settings is a valid comparison to see what PEQ has done. With most receivers without PEQ you would be stuck with flat settings and your basic treble/bass controls Parametric equalization is very different from graphic...

    Yamaha YPAO settings, what did you pick?

    VicQ, Yes, switching to GEQ will shut off the PEQ.

    Yamaha YPAO settings, what did you pick?

    Bill**H, I just got my 1400 about a week 1/2 ago, and agree that it is an awesome receiver! Great sound, plenty of power, and excellent features. As to your question, I have done the switch test between PEQ and GEQ myself, and really prefer PEQ. In my room there is no comparison, PEQ is...

    Does the Yamaha RXV 2400 incorperate Dolby Prologic IIx

    I just bought a Yamaha 1400, and DPLIIX is now printed on the box (no sticker). From what I have read, all of the 1400's and 2400's since last fall were made with DPLIIX. There MIGHT be some unauthorized on-line dealers with the older models, so be careful there. I actually bought mine from an...
