    New SVS owner wondering just how far he can push it...

    Hrmm... don't have anything to compare my DVE disc to at the moment. My DVE disc was purchased from amazon.com at the beginning of February. Whatever that's worth. And for those who are concerned, I still haven't done anything drastic with the sub, yet. *L* I'm guessing it's the...

    New SVS owner wondering just how far he can push it...

    Thanks much for the responses so far. I haven't really played with the sub since I posted. Re: the bottoming-out "clack." I remember reading in another thread what that was supposed to sound like. Will I hear that noise above the roar? *L* That's been part of my apprehension... that I'll...

    New SVS owner wondering just how far he can push it...

    Hello all... bear with me... I'm a rook... Last Friday, my new SVS 20-39PCi sub came. I calibrated it with DVE to about 83db (this seems to be the standard recommendation for those that like the bass a bit hot). The gain/volume knob on the sub itself is at 1/3. My mains/center (Fluance AV-HTB...

    Thanks much for the tip, gentlemen. I knew to set all speakers to SMALL when the sub was added, but I never thought to set the center channel to that now. Will do immediately. I'm guessing I should do this to the surrounds, also? As far as the frequency crossover, though, I believe my...

    Just purchased the AV-HTB about two weeks ago as well. No complaints AT ALL for the $$$. I am very pleased with my purchase. Only concern is the center channel. Hardcore sustained "rumble" bass (such as the liftoff on Apollo 13, or the Toy Story 2 THX intro cow stampede) gives it fits. At...

    Yamaha HTR-5590 component monitor outputs from S-Video sources?

    John S-- You say that the conversions are generally poor. Are you referring to "up" conversions, or "down" conversions? My Yamaha HTR-5660 comes in the big brown truck on Monday (weather-permitting). The manual advertises a composite/S-video conversion... meaning I can run S-video into the...

    "Upgrade-itis" leading to lousy speaker combos?

    Wow... this place does seem like a family. *L* Nifty. Ryan-- yeah, I'm definitely careless with my $$$. I did the credit card thing towards the end of high school and got myself into quite the pile of hock. I've taken care of most of that in the past two years (post-college). Just recently...

    "Upgrade-itis" leading to lousy speaker combos?

    Graham-- thanks much for the congrats. I believe I'm going for the PCi. My basement HT den is about 12 x 22... so I'm thinking that one'll be plenty sufficient. I'm wary about my ceiling down there, though. I've got one of those drop-tile/panel ceilings, and it occasionally had quite the...

    "Upgrade-itis" leading to lousy speaker combos?

    Ultra-newbie, here... and a little background, first. My original setup was a Technics stereo package deal from Sears--purchased about seven years ago for around $1000. Consisted of two tower mains, a center channel, two surrounds... tuner, receiver (Pro Logic), cassette deck, 110 disc CD...
