    A Few NHT Questions

    My advice would be to get a different sub. I am partial to SVS as an SVS owner. But when shoping around, the SVS sub left me really wanting a lot more.

    Other than SVS....

    I have the PB12-NSD/2. And my wife was none to pleased when she saw it. She walked in the room, I said This is the new Sub. She said "I am not happy" and walked out. Within days it disappeared into the room, totally forgotten about and not the giant visable eyesore she feared. It really...

    Help me help a friend... Alternatives to Bose

    I would be interested in hearing about some 3.1 system options for the whole package. Receiver, LRC speakers, and possibly the Sub. I am partial to SVS, but the system would be my fathers and he doesn't need to have sub 20hz bass like I do. Thanks! Budget around $800

    How many ports do you block on your SVS?

    Have the PB12-NSD/2 and for music I block no ports, but for movies I block 2.
