    SVS or Build

    Tom, You've got a very broad definition of expert and I never mentioned anything being inside information. Only the well known facts that TC Sounds has made SVS drivers and SVS hired Ponte from TC as your new sub designer. Both of those pieces of information can easily be found elsewhere...

    SVS or Build

    Stephen, Sorry, I thought I was clear. My point was when Lee-c wrote, "All the wood-finished sub cabinets are sent back as empty shells to SVS in the U.S. where all other manufacturing, assembly and testing are done in the SVS shop" among other things he did so in error. All assembly hasn't...

    SVS or Build

    I think semantic accuracy is important and if you read the FTC site I linked to then you'll find they don't believe semantics are pointless. For a semantic arguement to become pointless usually people find out they are really saying the same thing. I don't think we are saying the same thing...

    SVS or Build

    Sup spidey, sure things are changing now, how's the move from TC Sounds to SVS going? Liking Ohio? I'm not fully aware of how far along the changes are...sure. Has what I've been saying been false for the past two years? I hope all is going well with you too. Mustatang

    SVS or Build

    How is that true when indeed that is where the drivers are manufactured? Concerning TC Sounds without SVS they were more well known for their car audio drivers in the Eclipse lines before SVS. I've been keeping track of the company for awhile now...before SVS. :) Now, to clear the air, I...

    SVS or Build

    So long as TC Sounds is doing the work none of those statements are true. TC sounds is the subwoofer buildhouse for SVS. TC Sounds outsources. TC Sounds subwoofers are assembled in the US, but they are not made in the US.

    Subwoofer Tests: SVS, Paradigm, Velodyne and more.

    That's what I noticed about SVS too. I never expected the Ultra to only be able to hit 105dB before bottoming. Given, it was at 2m instead of 1m, but it really wasn't starting to compress a ton. I'm more suprised by the roll-off up top. Starting at 50 Hz it looks like you've got an...

    Subwoofer Tests: SVS, Paradigm, Velodyne and more.

    Hey guys, I stumbled upon this resources the other day. I thought it is definitely worth sharing.. It is best collection of home audio subwoofer tests I have come across so far. If someone is trying to find how to properly test a subwoofer, this is how you do it. SVS: PC Ultra Paradigm...

    Tempest Sealed Designs

    Wiring is very important on these drivers. I'm glad to see that it isn't a product defect since I've got the same box/driver config with an Adire AVA250. Honestly, I was shocked when I read about the problem. I've had no problems (wired correctly) and constantly give the Atlas 15" everything...

    Moving Sale: Adire DIY Home Theater

    In less than two weeks I'll be moving 5 hours away to a single dorm room. All this stuff is forsale because of that reason. I either can't bring it with me or it is completely impractical for me to do so (I don't think my neighbors would appreciate it). Adire Home Theater - $1,800 - pickup...
