Shouldn't the subjective performance be the most important factor at the end? Though subjective and objective performance go often hand in hand.

Sure thing Parker. It's funny how these threads often have the tendency to derail. :)

Sorry about the misunderstanding, I only ment exact as what it comes to THD testing. There are couple J. Johnson's old reviews containing some THD data, but other than those, Ed's reviews are pretty lonely. edit: It seems though that the discussion is heading towards dead end, so we might as...

Yes, I'm sure they would let Nousaine test their subs, after all, he's the one who invented the 10% THD test. But in any case, I would like to see more professional reviews with thorough measurements on SVS subs.

Robb, As I know that you are somewhat connected to SVS, I think you are a little bit biased. But yes, I made a few assumptions. I'm sure that's not the case, but manufacturers should understand that their products can be put under different kind of tests, not just under the ones they self...

I think there would be many 3rd party testers available, but if you require that the testers must use the same specific tests for measuring different variables as you self do, it will be a much harder job to find them. IMO it's not even fair to other manufacturers.

No they haven't, but still you used them as a "backup" for your own opinions and methods. But as far as I know, no one except Nousaine has used the 10% THD test. I think we are now confusing two different things, maximum output at different frequencies before audible distortion, which the new...

I respect the work you have done for sure. But could you tell which of those gentlemen have used the 10% THD test in their reviews besides Nousaine?

I'm extremely sorry about that. I do remember seeing that comment, but it wasn't from you, somebody was just misquoting you. Here's what you said: "In comparison to the PB10... In terms of sheer output... SB12plus will have slight advantage >45-50hz. In the 40-50hz range it is close. And...

I believe one major reason for its claimed musicality (I haven't heard it) is indeed its maximum output capability above ~40 Hz. Although Ed's 10% THD data doesn't clearly show it (one reason why I (and recently Ed too) prefer other way to measure THD), I believe its THD levels are lower for...

Hi all, I was too a bit disappointed when SVS published the frequency response for the SB12-Plus. The final roll off looked almost identical to their vented subs, which is IMO too steep for a proper sealed sub. It just takes away the only real advantage sealed subs have over vented subs -...

Yes, http://www.hometheatershack.com/foru...t-results.html Check also other measurements, http://www.hometheatershack.com/forums/subwoofer-tests/

http://www.dvdplaza.fi/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=157 The results are up, enjoy. :)

It is a big jump, but I would like to cover as large amplitude range as possible, but I don't have time to use very small steps...for example 90, 95, 100, 105, 110 dB. But we'll see...

Yes, naturally it will be 2 m GP. And I wouldn't be so sure about the other one... ;) There aren't many, but there are some.
