    Recommendations for $1k surround setup

    Hey All, I'm currently looking for a 5.0 (I already have a great SVS sub) speaker setup that will be used almost exclusively for home theater. I previously had a Klipsch Synergy setup which I hated. The sound from the horns just sounded so harsh. I realize it's in the eye of the beholder but...

    Effect of Y-Adapter to Subwoofer

    Hey All, Along time ago I heard somewhere on this forum that if you attached a y-cable to split the subwoofer signal into both the left and right inputs of the sub that it would increase the output. I own an SVS PC+ 20-39 and to say that I was pleased with the output having only a single...

    Hey All, I've had my SVS 20-39 PC+ for about three months now and could not be any happier with it and its performance. I've calibrated it to 85Hz according to SVS's manual and my RS meter, but I'm not sure if I'm getting the most out out the sub. My question is should I calibrate the volume...
