Edward: Thanks. Your input is always appreciated.I assumed that if this had been a problem with driver mounting, others would have responded with similar experiences. I know you have participated on this forum for some time and would know if such a problem existed.I'm confident that it was a...

Ron: Thanks, your company is the best.

Ron: Thanks. I will try and get him to e-mail you guys. Believe it or not he is one of those computer illiterate people who does not use e-mail. I talked to him and he has not given up on SVS.I convinced him that this had to be an abberation since I had not ever read of anyone else...

It's been some time since I posted here. I obtained alot of great information on this site before finally deciding on purchasing the Ultra last December. I have been extremely satisfied with the Ultra. My friend heard my Ultra and was so impressed with SVS that he recently ordered the the 20-39...

Bill: No One knows the answer to your last question. At least no one willing to post on this or other forums.I guess it's because THX does not publish their specifications.Thus, it's not as simple as I would like it to be. If the specs were published or at least well known,the performance of...

Reginald: The purpose of this post was to tap into the great wealth of knowledge on this forum concerning subs in general and SVS subs in particular. I own an Ultra thanks in part to this forum. It's an awesome piece of equipment. When I posted the question on the other forum it irritated me...

The link does not appear to work. The Forum can be easily found by going to google and entering "Flagship receiver Central". The topic is under the Denon 5803 forum and the topic refers to Thx Ultra 2 sub settings. The link in my first post will now take you to the flagship central forum...

Does anyone with more knowledge than I possess, about subs, want to argue against the statement made on another forum that SVS subs would not meet THX Ultra 2 certification because of their "box alignment" design.The address is: Link Removed Sorry I'm not computer literate enough to insert...

Thanks.The other reason I posted this question is because my receiver's manual says If these settings are used with a sub that is NOT THX Ultra 2 certified then "this feature will not operate correctly and it's operation will be unpredicable". Will be unpredicable? What does that mean and why...

Thanks John and Dan: I am also surprised that no one seems able to answer these questions. I know many people on this forum have SVS subs, and other Subs, that are more than capable of meeting THX Ultra 2 specs (+/- 3dB @20Hz). I also know that many own THX Ultra 2 certified receivers or...

I have an SVS Ultra sub. It is rated form 15-100Hz +/-3dB. The driver is about as close as you can get to being bullet proof.The spl at 20 Hz is about 112. The sub has no filter. No one seems to know much about the s/w settings on Ultra2 receivers. This is not an Ultra 2 sub but obviously...

Thanks for the replies. My Post topic language was poorly structured. What I was trying to ask is whether calibrating to reference level at 0 db on the master volume is useless for purposes of trying to convey to someone else what your listening levels are, assuming you listen below reference...

Thanks for those replies. I hope someone else can comment on this situation. If what John (above) and the poster on another Forum I quoted says is true then we should all stop comparing listening levels at less than reference level.On my system -10 db (after calibrating with internal receiver...

I have calibrated my receiver and speakers for the first time.The reason I did it was people keep asking me how loud do you listen to movies. SVS subs asked me and so did people on this forum. I also often read posts from people who say they listen at -10 to -15 dB. Others says that's way to...

My single Ultra has arrived! I only have 2 corners in my 16x16x8 HT ONLY room. The room has an open kitchen to the left and only a 3'wall separates the 2 rooms. The kitchen is 16x15x8. There are also 2 open doorways. One opens into a hall. The other into a living room.I have started, at the...

I have all my speakers connected with Monster XP (XPNW MS)Navajo white.I don't know what the letters stand for but my wife likes the color with our carpet:b It's actually buried under the carpet but of course some of it can be seen. I now need to hook up a single SVS Ultra. I assume the...

I'm trying to put together a HT only system. I have purchased the Pioneer Elite 47tx and an Svs Ultra Sub. I was going to buy M&K 150 powered speakers for the front and 4 tripoles for the rear. The 150p's are $2200 each and the tripoles are $1400 a pair.That's close to 10k! I am now spoiled by...

My single Ultra is on it's way and in anticipation of setting it up I was reviewing my Pioneer elite 49tx manual.The sub will be placed in the corner. The manual says "room boundaries may increase perceived acoustics levels at low frequencies....The purpose of this feature is to compensate for...

Thanks for your replies. It looks like I should have done more home work!.......Ed the movies you mentioned are on my list (expect I'm not sure what SW-PM stands for) As I said originally I listen to movies about 10 db below reference.Would you all still recommend a SVS01 filter? It sounds...

The guy on the phome wasn't a tech but as I said he did seem to know his stuff. He also recommended a PC+ at first. I talked him into the Ultra. He did mention that the pc+ has a 4 position sub filter. I don't think the Ultra does. Is there a reason for that and does it make a difference...

After doing alot of research and listening to my friends dual CS+ subs I decided to purchase a CS Ultra sub. However, after talking to the guy at SVS who was knowlegable, friendly and a surprise,to me,not trying to push me to spend the most money I could afford,(That was a real relief after...

I agree with Tom. I have now listened to the THX Cinema Ultra 2 post processing mode with 5.1 DVD's, with 2 rear and 2 back dipoles. The back speakers were 2.5 feet apart. I have also listen to the same DVD with the same setup in Logic 7 mode with the speakers 8' apart. It was hard to tell the...

I don't know if I should go with 1 or 2 subs. Also I don't know if I should stick with the same brand sub as speakers. I am going with the M&K powered 150P's for my front 3. My rears will be driven by a separate 4 channel amp.The rears will be 4 M&K tipoles. I haven't heard anything negative...

I have contacted M&K and asked several questions but not one regarding balanced outputs and the powered speakers. The reason I am leaning toward the powered M&K fronts is because I have heard both the powered and non powered S-150's and the powered ones sound much more dynamic and detailed to...

WOW....I was NOT going to use the cables for a long run or for multiple zones. I was only going to use them to plug into the 3 front powered M&K 150P's. I was also going to plug the The 4 channel amp which would drive my 4 non powered rears. The salesman was trying to convince me that with...

I am considering buying 3 powered M&K 150P's for my front 3.The salesman tells me if I do I really need to buy a pre/pro with balanced outputs and plug the 3 fronts into the balanced outputs. I would then buy a separate 4 channel amp which would also be plugged into a pre/pro balanced output and...

I just noticed on my post yesterday that the title of the post only mentions Ultra 2 and whether it is worth the money. I understand from some of the responses I got that the question of THX certification has been discussed alot on this forum. I finally got some very helpful responses. They...

Thanks Guys especially Todd for the link and David and Tom for their real life experience with this new processing mode. If anyone else has any other experiences let me know. Also are most of you using dipoles/tripoles for the rear in the Ultra 2 Cinema mode. Now back to cooking my Turkey. Thanks.

Brent: Thanks for your reply but I'm sure there is Ultra 2 post processing that creates 7.1 channel sound from a 5.1 sources. It's interesting that no one seems to know about this. I posted a question on the Software Forum and asked if anyone had listened to a well recorded 5.1 DVD ,such as Air...
